Rustoleum 1 Quart Semi Gloss White Painters Touch Multi-Purpose Paint 1993-502

This paint went on smoothly and covered really well. No streaks, no weird texture, and it dried nicely. Did exactly what I needed it to do and made my project look way better. I’d definitely buy it again.

Excellent paint for small projects. It applies smoothly, dries quickly, and provides great coverage with a clean semi-gloss finish. Durable both indoors and outdoors. Very reliable quality.

This is a very good product. I’ve purchased it several times and it consistently does what it promises. It has good coverage, is easy to apply, and the finish looks great for small projects. I’m giving it 4 stars only because it usually needs a second coat for a perfect result, but overall I definitely recommend it.

The Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover (Semi-Gloss White) is the industry outlier. It strikes a rare balance of high-pigment "hide" and a self-leveling consistency that makes a $20 quart of paint look like a $200 professional spray job. Whether you are refreshing a dated piece of furniture, touching up baseboards, or sealing a metal garden chair, this is the benchmark for multi-purpose coatings. The Engineering: Why "Ultra Cover" Matters The "Ultra Cover" technology isn't just a marketing buzzword. This is an advanced water-based acrylic formula that boasts a higher solid-to-liquid ratio than standard latex paints. This means you get superior opacity—often covering dark stains or raw wood in just two coats where others would take four. Performance & Application I tested this on a sanded oak nightstand and a primed metal planter. Leveling: The paint flows beautifully. If you use a high-quality synthetic brush, the "ridges" disappear as it dries, resulting in a smooth, semi-gloss sheen that isn't too shiny but offers that "clean, polished" look. Drying Speed: It dries to the touch in 30 minutes. For a high-hide paint, this is remarkably fast. It allows you to finish a project in a single afternoon rather than waiting 24 hours between coats. PROS Incredible Opacity: The pigment density is top-tier. It covers light-to-medium colors in a single pass and dark colors in two. Non-Yellowing Formula: Unlike oil-based whites that turn "ivory" over time, this acrylic formula stays a crisp, bright "refrigerator white" even in areas with low sunlight. Low Odor & Easy Cleanup: Since it’s water-based, the smell is minimal—perfect for indoor projects in small rooms—and brushes clean up with just soap and water. Versatile Adhesion: It bonds exceptionally well to wood, metal, plaster, and even unglazed ceramic.[1] Chip & Fade Resistant: Once fully cured (approx. 7 days), the finish is tough enough to withstand the "knocks and bumps" of daily life on furniture or trim. CONS Dries Fast (Double-Edged Sword): Because it sets quickly, you have to work in small sections. If you "over-brush" an area that has already started to set, you will create streaks. Surface Prep is Mandatory: This paint is only as good as the surface beneath it. On glossy or oily surfaces, it will peel if you don't sand and degrease first. Thick Consistency: Straight out of the can, it can be quite thick. In hot or dry climates, you may need to add a tiny splash of water (no more than 5%) to keep it workable. Overall Input The Rust-Oleum 1993502 is a masterclass in utility paint. It is the "Swiss Army Knife" of my workshop. For the price, you are getting professional-level coverage and a durable, semi-gloss finish that looks expensive. It’s a reliable, bright, and hardworking paint that simplifies the most tedious part of DIY: the finish. Reviewer Pro-Tip: For a "factory-smooth" finish on wood, sand with 220-grit sandpaper between coats. This removes any raised grain or tiny dust nibs. Also, always stir, never shake the can. Shaking introduces micro-bubbles that can ruin the semi-gloss finish once it dries! Who is this for? Furniture flippers, homeowners doing trim touch-ups, crafters, and anyone who wants a "one-and-done" paint that actually covers in fewer coats.
