I am always on the lookout for new spray paints for plastics, like the front and rear headliner on the GMC. I saw an ad for Rust-oleum Universal, says it is for all materials, plastic included. Sprays in all directions, even upside down. Cool, as that is one big problem if you are not removing a headliner.
Then I did a search on the reviews of the product, and they were pretty negative. Here is one sample:
"I bought 4 cans of Rust-Oleum Universal (Hammer On Black). All four cans failed to spray after a few minutes. Each required disassembly and unclogging. The spray patterns were variable from "none" to "stringy" to totally "blob-like" or "blotchy". I have used Krylon Fusion. It works perfectly. In contrast, painting with Rust-Oleum is like trying use a roller brush while riding rabid bull into a burning barn. If anyone from Rust-Oleum reads this, I hope that they post an apology and issue refunds. Their new spray system is the best advertisment for Krylon Fusion that one could ever think of. In short, unless you enjoy paying lots of money for total junk (that will frustrate you until you're insane), just purchase the Krylon Fusion and stay FAR AWAY from the new Rust-Oleum spray paint in the fancy cans."
Now that might be a bit of excessive, but several reviews were similar.
So, it looks like good old Krylon Fusion is still the paint for us to use on plastics. I know that I have been happy with it, other than the inability to spray in can directions other than vertical.
