Create a Fresh Look for Your Front Door with Rust-Oleum Vermont Green Quart Paint

David A Farrar: Good paint. I was able to get 6 coats out of the van, three on both sides of the door. It’s thick oil based paint to be sure to tape off your areas. It goes on better with a roller. Roll slow as it is think and oily. Once it dried it had a nice hard semi gloss finish. In the sun, it has a nice rich garnet color, inside is has a more cranberry color.

Em: This door paint is nice, but SUPER smelly. I had to buy a specific paint brush because my other ones were not working. I wanted to paint the backside of my front door with it, but there's no way. The smell was overbearing and smelt like varnish. But, for outside of the door, it did the job!

Jeffrey A. Braisted: In the can its a liquid but on the brush its like Elmers glue even with a bit of thinner added. Have to keep a wet line or the paint gets sticky. The VOC in this paint is overwhelming to the point of collapse. Have a fan blowing or you will get dizzy and potentially pass out from the fumes this paint gives off even outside! After an hour I was done and started getting sick to my stomach and eyes blurry. Covers great and sticks to your skin like crazy glue. Use a cheap brush and let it sit in turpentine if you plan on using it for a 2nd coat like I did.

KirbysmomKirbysmom: I really like this paint. It is oil based and can be messy, but I think it looks great!! It came sealed and packaged well and is a rich cranberry color. the paint does have a strong odor since it is oil based. I would recommend using it when you can have your windows open for a while to air it out a bit. It dries very very quickly. I was covering a white door and I did 3 coats of paint in the same day. I would recommend using a good paint brush, the first one I had was a budget one and the paint is rather sticky and the bristles were pulling out on the door...I quickly got a better brush and continued with no problems. Be sure and put down newspaper or some type of covering as it is thin and will drip. I used light vinyl gloves which kept me from having to clean it off my hands. I would definitely buy again!!

Puppyhead5150: I am a consumer that is hard to please, yet not unrealistic about things like performance or the "idiot factor" of products. I really did not know what to expect after reading some of the reviews of this paint, but when I tried it, I was amazed. I ordered the "dark brown" color and it is a stunning rich brown with a nice low sheen. What some people are complaining about is what makes this product great, that it is sticky and thick and it works. I have painted and repainted (including sanding) my front door more then 5 times with crappy results. I have a metal front door with glass and for some reason, the trim piece that connects the glass to the door is plastic so no matter what paint I used (spray paint, regular paint etc) nothing would stick to this part of the door. Furthermore, on the metal door itself the previous paint jobs I have done have not lasted more then one winter as the paint has gotten dinged and scratched. I have many dogs that live inside and they love to look outside the window and scratch my door and the paint is never durable enough to stand up to their little excited paws. This paint is amazing! It works and gosh does it stick (even to the...
