Rustoleum Paints

[Evan_N]

Hey all,

Has anyone had any issues with Rustoleum Painter's Touch Flat Black, spray paint?  I recently used it to prime a frame and chasis, and I noticed that it still felt tacky weeks after application.

I can't help you with advice about that particular paint, but what I can offer is this..... Rustoleum makes flat black primer itself that works really well. I've used a lot of different paints over it without any reaction. It covers good and is dry in like 10 minutes.......

This is two coats of the primer over red plastic.........

I think my problem might be that I used straight Flat Black as a primer, instead using an actual primer paint.  I've used Rustoleum primers before and they didn't give me any issues.

To clarify, your "primer" coat was Rustoleum Painter's Touch flat black? Over bare plastic? And it didn't dry on it's own?

Or did you topcoat the flat black, and then run into the tacky problem?

Yes, my "primer" coat was the flat black, and it stayed tacky to the touch.
