We Support Artistic Reinvention ― Turning The Mundane Into Magic
Rust-O’s purpose is all about fueling that creative spark, giving artists the power to break the mold and level up their craft. Every spray is more than just paint―it’s a chance to reinvent, to reshape the world and themselves. Rust-O isn’t just a tool; it’s the driving force behind bold expression, helping creators leave legacies that reach far beyond the canvas.

Years of Spray Paint Experience
Our Roots Go Way Back To 1921
It all started with a sea captain looking for a way to prevent his ship’s metal deck from rusting. Working with a chemist, captain Robert Fergusson developed one of the world’s first rust-preventative paints and Rust-Oleum was born.

Embraced by the Artistic Community
Starting with just 24 paint colors, Rust-Oleum paint was not intended for artistic purposes. But regardless of intention, a community of artists claimed it as their own and helped build Rust-Oleum as one of the original artistic spray paints.

A New Brand To Celebrate The Artist
The development of Rust-O Artist Spray Paint is a celebration of Artistic Reinvention. A line of products crafted for all artists, from the established to the emerging. And a homage to the artist who helped paved the way to its creation.
