A solid product
I used three cans of this product to restore a smoker recently and had no clogging issues at all. The key with any aerosol spray paint is to spray in short 1-2 second bursts with a sweeping motion. Holding the nozzle down for long periods like some sort of graffiti artist from an 80's movie will only cause issues with thick paint like this. The paint goes on well, cures hard and seem pretty tough so far.... Show more

Avoid
Was a bad experience over all.Application: Worked properly for about half the can. The other half I'd have to keep abusing the can to get it to spray and even then it'd be spluttering at times. This was every single can.Finish: Looked great, was very matte but it was even and looked good. Once hardened it was super solid to touch but it just started coming up once I cleaned it with wax and grease remover. It was set with a heat gun and a thermometer to check the temp was high enough, but still didn't matter.Usually Dulux make solid products, but I'd rate this 0/5 if I could.... Show more

Beautiful rose gold colour with a great finish
I saw the other review about it not matching the lid, which I agree is true as the lid definitely does not look rose gold the lid shows more of just a gold colour. However the colour that comes out of it is rose gold which matches its name perfectly. It is a pinky gold shimmery colour. When out of the sun it appears more pink, in the sun it appears more gold. See photos to see the different shimmer tones. Used on a metal bed frame, sanded, applied two coats of primer then two coats of this colour.... Show more

Good paint. Terrible execution.
Bought this despite all the bad reviews. Heres my take on it.Now, the paint itself.. its good. Its a matt type finish and looks like it would last.Noting all the complaints with blockage, I did shake this sucker up for a good 5 minutes every which way. It was fine.Now, the bad... the spray pattern. Imagine trying to paint a fence with a texta. This aint no Rustoleum 2x spray can.I was only using this thing to paint a bbq cover and the first and second misting coat were ok.Then when it came time to lay it down, this thing sucked. I ended up using the whole can and even then I think there are patch bits. The spray pattern is so narrow that you really have to focus on moving slow and trying to get every gap before the can runs out cos you dont want to go back to ...

Long lasting - even when exposed to weather.
I have used DuraMax to spray over mission brown aluminium window frames and sliding door window frames both internally and externally. External frames that face morning sun and afternoon sun (Perth WA) and prevailing weather have lasted five years without requiring touch up, sheen as original. Did so for a fraction of the cost of having after having a couple of windows done professionally. Fantastic product, which I have continued to use over past five years for similar purposes. Doing as described makes a huge difference to aesthetics.... Show more

Spatters very badly
The paint began to spatter shortly after I started spraying the first coat. The result was bad orange peel effect in the surface. I had to cut the surface back with wet and dry sandpaper to remove the orange peel before applying the second coat. After the first coat I inverted the can and cleared the nozzle as directed. The next day when I tried to apply a second coat it would barely spray at all. When it did it sprayed blobs of paint. The result was a lot of wasted time.... Show more

Spits & Splatters
Bought a can thinking the I could trust Dulux. I got that wrong. First mistakeFirst application on bar stool bases was fine. Inverted the can and cleared the nozzle and waited 20 minutes before applying a second coat.Started spraying the second coat (second mistake) and it spat and spluttered the paint out and ruined the first (coat) finish. I kept going as I figured I was going to be forced into sanding down the splatter blobs anyway.A very disappointing product as the can obviously is under-pressurised.I do not recommend this product. Purchase another brand. Do not waste your money.... Show more

Very soft finish - marks too easily
The problem is that the tin that this comes in has a picture of furniture on it. This product is not suitable for furniture, or really for any application that requires a real varnish, or any degree of clear coat protection. The can says it is ideal for protecting art and craft work. It might be - I don't know. What I DO know is that the finish is soft. REALLY soft. After a week or drying, when I put the thing I varnished down on the couch it came away with the pattern of the material indented in the finish. 1200 sandpaper stripped it completely off. You CANNOT sand this to a polish AT ALL. It is so soft that the weight of anything heavier than paper will cause whatever it is sitting on to mark it. Then you're required to strip the whole paint and varnish job off ... MoreThe problem is that the tin that this comes in has a picture of furniture on it.

Waste of money
I have done a lot of spray painting and this would be the worst I have used. Normally use dulux but this anti drip stuff is crap. Goes on thick and you either have terrible orange peel unless you lay it heavy and then get air bubbles and drips. Very difficult to get a nice coat. Bought 4 cans for a project and after 1 can and recoating numerous times I am going to buy something else.... Show more

Yep, dries fast!
Purchased 31/8 and just used a bit today.As a test (for UV stability) I've brush-touched a few areas on a Taffeta white car. It's a little brighter than the 17 year old factory paint, but hopefully will lose a touch of brightness with time. Much better than Export Enamel gloss white, which turns pale yellow within a week.Paint was getting thick on my plastic holder (brush-touching remember) within a minute, much like nail varnish does. It was just a plastic lid, paint spread a bit. If brushing, spray into a narrow vessel so it pools better, doesn't spread as much and get syrupy.If the colour match improves, I will spray a larger section. As for the product, I can't yet fault it as I haven't used it as intended. But I really like it!... Show more
