Seashell, Rust-Oleum Low Odor Premium Gloss Spray Paint- 11 oz

I've used a lot of flat black spray paints for DIY projects, but the Rust-Oleum Blackout is a significant step up from the standard professional lines for three specific reasons: Odor, Coverage, and Finish. 1. The Odor (The Best Feature): If you've ever spray-painted indoors or in a garage, you know that heavy chemical smell usually lingers for days. This "low odor" claim is the real deal. It still has a slight scent, but it is about 70% less pungent than traditional oil-based sprays. I used it in my workshop and didn't have to air out the whole house afterward. 2. The Matte Finish: This isn't a "chalky" flat black; it's a true premium matte. It has a smooth, velvety texture that hides imperfections on the surface really well. I used it to refurbish some dated metal lamp bases, and they now look like high-end powder-coated steel. 3. Application Tips: > * Dry Time: It takes slightly longer to "set" than the quick-dry variants (give it a full 20-30 minutes before touching), but it's less prone to dripping. Distance: Keep the can exactly 10–12 inches away. Because it's a "blackout" formula, it's highly pigmented—if you get too close, it goes on thick. Bottom Line: If you are working on home decor or furniture where you want a "designer" look without the headache of heavy fumes, this is worth the extra couple of dollars over the basic cans. Pros: Low VOCs, excellent hide-power, sophisticated finish. Cons: Slightly longer cure time than standard spray paint.
