About Rust-Oleum
Paints for specific jobs
Kitchen Cupboard Paint is made for wood, gloss and melamine units, giving a washable finish that copes with splashes. The Bathroom Collection covers tiles, cupboards, doors and skirting boards. Beyond those two rooms, there are paints for walls, floors, uPVC and outdoor furniture. Many products need no primer or topcoat, which cuts the number of coats and the time a project takes.
Choosing a colour
More than 100 shades are available, from pastels and neutrals to brights and deep darks, in finishes including satin and metallic. Small 10ml tester sachets let you try a colour on the surface before committing to a full tin. For spray jobs, Rust-Oleum Switch has a 5-in-1 nozzle that changes the spray pattern. A blog on the site shares styling ideas and painting tips.
Good to know

There are no Rust-Oleum shops, so orders go through the website or retail partners. Returns are handled by wherever you bought the paint. Payment online is by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Discounts are available to students, NHS staff and members of the military.
