Rust-Oleum Advanced Dry Door & Trim Paint, Satin White

Easy to use and the color was gorgeous! Water proof and dried evenly.

Very high quality paint. Great coverage even though I didn’t prime first (exterior trim). I used Abatron Wood Filler first to patch rotten wood ,etc and then painted. Turned out very nice. Would definitely buy this again.

I was very hesitant to purchase this particular product, but it was the ONLY brand that came even close to my color choice of dark (almost black) navy. When the two quarts of paint arrived, I let them sit there for three or four days. So, the day finally came when I was ready to see what we had. I had read so many not-so-great reviews about its consistency, clumping nature, bad odor, etc. and since we’re under construction here, I don’t have money to waste. I opened the first of the two cans, I was slightly disappointed at first because it was lighter in the can than I expected it to be, but there weren’t any bad smells, no clumps, no hard rocks of paint, there was just blue liquid paint that looked like it might be a bit watery. I stood there looking at it for a minute and I figured that since I had opened it, I might as well give it a try. Let me tell you that I was sooooooooooooo pleasantly surprised by this paint. First of all, it’s thin, but not drippy at all. It smells like regular paint to me, and I’ve always liked that smell. It glides onto my doors like frosting on a cake. It definitely will take at least two coats to get good coverage, maybe even three, but if I use three coats, it’s only because I started painting on a medium minty green door and it’s taking a little more paint to cover up all that hideous green. I said in the beginning that I wanted very dark navy, and I am positive that three coats will definitely accomplish that for me. I’m actually painting two doors that are exactly alike. I’ve put two coats on one of the four sides and only one coat on the other three sides. I’ve only used about half of the quart so far. I’m being very generous with the paint so that’s not why it’s taking three coats to cover. I think the thinness of the paint is what is requiring more coats, but I don’t mind. If I was having to paint a whole house and not just two doors, I would maybe consider another brand of paint, but I’m not even sure about that because I’m really pleasantly pleased with this paint. I’m having to wait a couple of days between coats because we live in the swamps of Louisiana, and it’s always damp and muggy here, plus it’s too hot to paint during the day and mosquitos eat you up at night. It’s an ongoing battle. I plan to get it all finished at some point in the coming week.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars for durability is the fact that I haven’t had it on the doors long enough to determine its durability. I also would like to say that the color of the paint (after 2 coats) is exactly the navy color shown on the can. It’s gorgeous!

I am truly sorry to those of you that had hit or miss results with the paint. I would have been very, very upset if my paint had arrived in the same condition some of you described.
