      Regular Rustoleum contains acetone so it will eat most plastic and resin surfaces. I'm curious to know what type of plastic he sprayed and whether or not there were small pits that the camera didn't pick up.

      No. It only gives a mirror look on a transparent surface. It's dull if you spray it on wood or metal. Or an opaque plastic.

    I don't know what I did. I sprayed the outside of an acrylic punch bowl. It came out Gray. I went and got another punch bowl and tried it again. Again .....grey I sprayed the outside of the bowl to have the mirror effect inside the bowl. The crazy thing is on the second bowl While the inside was dull gray instead of mirrored, the outside (part i painted) was actually shinier that the inside.
    I did the light coats 10-12 inches away nothing.
    Also, on the can it says wait 1-2 mins between coats. but in the rust-oleum how to video it said wait 10 mins between coats. So I f---ed up 2 damn punch bowls and wasted 2 cans of this high ass paint. I know damn well its supposed to work but I don't know what I did.
    40 dollars down the drain.
    I just gave up and ordered a stainless steel mixing bowl which has the mirror effect was going for. Wish I'd thought of it earlier!

    • @alanwilson43

    • @Mongo76
      @Mongo76 5 років тому

      @@alanwilson43 i'm certain it is the mirror effect. Also another interesting thing is I had a top to a jar that I wasn't going to use so when i first got the paint, I just tested it without shaking or anything and sprayed the inside of the top....While the paint ran a little the effect was perfect and it indeed had the mirror finish. But I couldn't replicate that again. I got frustrated and gave up. LOL ..... I do still have a full can. I am going to try it on a glass from a picture frame and see what i get.

      Hello M
      Sounds like the punch bowl wasn't entirely acrylic or had a protective clear coat of enamel or composite.
      Probably better that it didn't work... turning the bowl grey instead of the stomachs of you and your family and guests.

    • @C_U_R_I_E_L
      @C_U_R_I_E_L 4 роки тому +7

      The solvent used in the spray painy ate away the plastic from your bowl. Plastics designed for food are much different than plastics used in industrial process. For example, nail polush remover (acetone) is stored in a plastic bottle but if you accidentally get it on a clear food bowl it clouds the bowl. Nail polish is thinned with acetone as a solvent. Spray paint, like nail polish, is an oil based enamel paint and in order to keep it from evaporating out of its liquid form needs a solvent. So you see, the solvents used to maintain the spray paints ability to spray ate away at your food-plastic bowls. You can next time try a glass bowl, ceramic, or a type of plastic used to store solvents. You can look up the types of plastics on any search engine as well as which solvents will deteriorate them chemically. How do I know this? Tried to clean a price tag off a designer salad bowl and shamefully lost that battle.
