What is special about Rust-Oleum paint is its origin and focus on rust prevention and protective coatings, which distinguishes it from general decorative paints. Rust-Oleum was founded in 1921 by sea captain Robert Fergusson, who noticed that fish oil stopped rust on his boat's rusty metal deck, leading him to develop first rust-preventive paint combining fish oil and pigments, which is the origin of name Rust-Oleum combining rust and oleum meaning oil. Its specialty is rust-inhibitive primers and enamels that can be applied directly over lightly rusted metal after removing loose rust, converting rust and preventing further corrosion, unlike regular paints that peel quickly on rust. Rust-Oleum products include Rust Reformer that converts rust to paintable surface, Rusty Metal Primer with fish oil technology, hammered finish that hides imperfections, high-heat paint up to 1200 degrees, and protective enamel for industrial use. It offers wide range of spray paints, brush-on enamels, and specialty paints for plastic, automotive, and marine. Rust-Oleum paints contain strong resins, corrosion inhibitors, and UV protection for outdoor durability. The brand is sold at Home Depot, Lowes, and hardware stores, and is widely used by homeowners, farmers, and contractors for metal fences, gates, and equipment. Its special feature is ability to stop rust and provide long-term protection in one product.
