Diamond Brite Oil-Based Enamel Paint, White, 1 Gallon, 32000-1

Blew away the so called ''Epoxy'' paint! Water based epoxy paint would bubble up any place salt/ice would melt on floor from the cars. Junk! This stuff stays on and even dragging a floor jack across it and hot rubber tires sitting on it, mostly ok. My heavy 3/4 ton truck did transfer some paint up, but very little. The secret is letting this oil base stuff dry a long time! I used in the dead of winter, but sure the drying time in summer would be much quicker!

This is heavy duty paint. Sticks to anything, seals cracks and is completely water proof when dry. I sealed my wood shed with this paint. I don't believe I'll ever have to paint my shed ever again. Brushes cleaned up with mineral spirits.

Fantastic enamel. Goes a long way. BEAUTIFUL COLOR. Drys very hard. I feel like it should be a 4.8 or 4.9 rating. Currently rated at 4.4 as I type this. I love it.

Brilliant and glossy blue. Went on easily, but it does take a while to cure. I used restoleum clear white primer on a metal door. I had to strip off the latex because it was bubbling in the sun. Both of the new applications are oil based, so I hope they stand up to the sun and heat, I’m in Palm Springs area.

Perfect

60 years of painting and this product produced the worst exterior paint film I have ever encountered. Film failure was almost total after a few months on an exterior porch that is now going through power washing and scraper removal. Adhered to bare wood to ill effect. Granted surface prep was not optimal but If I had spent a great amount of time on this for a client instead of myself, perturbed would be a mild way to describe my reaction. Painting interior stairs into our basement may work, so as not to call the purchase a total waste. Not encouraged to do so from its exterior alligator and flake off.

I was making some "vintage" replacement cabinets for an older home, something that would match the look and feel which we could add without doing a complete tear-out-and-remodel - and needed a "matching" paint, something durable, something easy to clean, which pretty much rules out most (if not ALL) "water based" products. This stuff is oil base, so yes, it "smells" a bit when curing. Not a problem here. Dried well, has a nice solid finish, with oil base durability. I lined the new cabinets with vinyl shelf paper, installed these next to the old cabinets, and VIOLA - near perfect match! I've "demolished" 50-year-old wooden cabinets during kitchen remodels in the past, where the "old" oil based paint finish was still going strong - cleanable, still protecting, the wood beneath the paint was virtually brand new - so I know what I'm talking about. This was a "budget" product, so my solution had to fit the budget: Vintage style custom wood cabinet, oil based paint to finish, and vinyl shelf liner turned out to be the perfect solution. You can't ask much more from a proven product, such as old school oil base enamel.
