Does anyone like Krylon paint?

Add me to the I HATE KRYLON group.

I rattle canned my 855 with Rustoleum farm implement paint and it came out great.

Went to Lowe's to grab a can of yellow a while back and they had switched to Krylon. You have to be extremely careful not to get runs and it will take several coats to cover. Tractor Supply has both brands but they charge a couple of bucks more than Lowes did. It's still a better deal than needing 3 cans and so many more hours than using Krylon.

I use Duplicolor from auto parts stores. The Machinery Gray covers bare steel in one coat no runs. Tough too.

For better rust protection I use Rustoleum, but I like Krylon for laying out a nice build up of color and an excellent finish. It dries fast so I can apply several light coats, like the instructions say to do on all spray paint, with just a few minutes between coats.

Lost faith in KRYLON years ago.... These days you will only find Rustoleum on my shelf...

I stick with Rustoleum and always use the most expensive primer that they have available before applying the paint. It's been a couple years, but I believe it's in a shiny silver colored can. Then I try to use their premium spray paints too. Most of the time I'm just painting a railing or bracket of some kind, so it's usually gloss black. But primer is the more important part of any paint job.

Krylon and Rustoleum both manufacture several types but no retailer will stock them all. I've used both and have no complaints. Using the right product for the job is where it's at. Rattle cans of any brand is an insane undertaking for painting a tractor or implement. I have a small HVLP that I use if it's bigger than a bread box. Try one of the little inexpensive HVLP rigs. If you don't like it,take it back,if you like it,keep it sqeeky clean and it will last for decades. It use's 25% as much paint as conventional compressed air,very little to no drift/overspray and best of all,the place isn't full of mist when you get through.

You can buy the Krylon Industrial grade "tough coat" at Amazon.

I found on my John Deere dozer, for touch up, that the John Deere brand from the dealer was the best. Better paint and a larger can. While the TSC paint was ok, the can has a lot less paint in it.

The only time the rattle can spray paint will last forever - when I overspray on an unwanted area.

To the person who said you cannot paint over powder coated trailer steel, I beg to differ. I have some silver over spray on black and will not come off. Sure is purdy on one side of my trailer though.

I bought some Krylon flat black from Lowes a couple weeks ago and it had terrible coverage.
