I’m interested in finding out how Craig Fitzgerald’s Rustoleum paint job is holding up on his Blazer. I want to try it on my 1973 Monte Carlo. ---

Hey, GSteeger, Craig here! Thanks for checking in. I sold the Blazer two years ago and it was still in good shape. It spent a winter outside, and like any single stage paint it got kind of hazy, but a polish and wax would bring it right back. It’s not going to have the durability of a base coat/clearcoat, but it was also 1/10th the price and served my purposes well. Good luck with your Monte Carlo! ---

I’ve painted my trailer several times with Rustoleum. It’s not the best and fades pretty quick, but hey. I didn’t color sand, wax or polish though. It’s a trailer.
