Rattle can white
« on: May 11, 2018, 06:50:07 PM »
We all know that all whites are not created equal. 

What is the whitest white I can get out of a rattle can paint?  I'm trying to match a Monokote white, which seems to be very white.

I tried something called Duplicolor Bright White and was very disappointed with the color.  Not even close.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Vince

  Try Walmart, they have a lot of spray paint, and maybe they have a color that will match..

I seem to remember using Krylon white once that matched up very well.  That was several years ago, so who knows now.

I love the Rust-oleum professional high performance enamel.   I have used it on a couple of products and it is GREAT!  It dries fast and hard almost like epoxy paint and the color is a very bright white.

Thanks Charles, Skip, going to give the Rustoleum paint a try.  Searched on line and found some at a Walmart nearby.  $15 on line, $4.94 at Walmart.  Go figure.   I like the 15 minute drying time for the professional brand, I paint outdoors.  I'm all electric, so no worries about fuelproofiness.   LL~

Make sure it's Rustoleum Gloss Protective-  they make several different brand names for themselves that are cheaper, and other even cheaper ones for other brand names.

Shake the hell out of the can.  Maybe your local hardware store will shake it for you, and warm the can over 100 degrees for better leveling.
