Have you used the new Rustoleum Universal spray paint? I want to use it for a shower. How much is it?

Answer 1

I have used universal many times and it works well. Remember that the key to any good paint job is that the surface is well prepared before you paint. For best results choose a day when the humidity is relatively low to paint. Additionally, it is best to allow the paint at least 3-4 days to fully cross-link for maximum adhesion and film hardness. For preparation I would recommend lightly sanding the shower with fine sandpaper and then removing all of the dust with rubbing alcohol. Universal costs between $7 and $9 per can depending where you buy it which is more expensive than most cans of spray paint but worth it in the long run because it is formulated to stick to what you are trying to paint with it.
