RUSTINS Quick Dry Step & Tile Paint Black 500ml

fast drying with a smooth finish, paints on easily, decent size tin it gos far!

I used this to cover an old grey concrete tile patio, and the result is gorgeous. It looks fresh, rich, and like a brand-new surface. The red shade is particularly beautiful—it’s a deeper red with a subtle brown undertone, which blends beautifully with the garden rather than looking too bright or artificial. Application was straightforward with a large brush, and it went on smoothly. It did require two coats to fully cover the grey underneath, but the finish is well worth the effort. One thing to note: when you first open the tin, the colour looks quite purple—don’t worry, just give it a really good stir (around 10 minutes), and the proper red develops. The finish has a lovely slight sheen while still being non-slip, which is ideal for outdoor use. Coverage is also excellent—I used less than half of the 1L tin for my 2.5 × 4.5m patio, even with a generous application. It's a good value paint at £15 per litre. As I used less than half, the cost to revive my patio was great- less than 7£. Overall, a durable good quality paint and great-looking that delivers excellent results. Highly recommended.

The paint is fine and dries really quickly so handy for me as I only have one entrance. Goes on smoothly and smells fine. I have used 4 coats so hopefully it'll be durable.

Recently had our drive done with resin, a nice black but the step was a natural stone colour and always stood out a bit for me. I tried this and the tin size was more than enough. I prepped and cleaned the step first and then this went on really nicely, quite therapeutic to apply. Quite a thick texture so you get plenty of coverage with it. I allowed it to dry for a couple of hours, then applied another quick coat. Left it to dry for 24hrs and applied another quick coat and it looks lovely and really smart. It has been a month now since I applied and no signs of any flaking.

Used this paint to restore some old window sills in our 1950s built house. The window sills were originally made from doorstep tiles and were looking awful, so I was considering paying someone to replace them, which would have likely cost a couple of £hundred. Thought I'd try painting them the colour they would have been originally instead, using this paint. They now look fantastic, almost like new. Only took 2 coats, and the paint dries within a few hours so it was all done within an afternoon. Saved me a lot of money too. Highly recommend for this purpose!

Positive. Covers well and looks nice. Negative. Scratches off real easy. NOT hard wearing.

I was a little pessimistic based on some other reviews, but cannot recommend this highly enough. I have redone our front step and the lining around the bottom of the house. It has given a really good qaulity, gloss finish. The paint went on smoothly with no brush marks and dried very quickly. Unfortunately, the dog did step through it while wet, but was able to remove this very easily. I would highly recommend this product, it has been done for around 2 months with no chipping, damage or dullness.

Should have read other reviews but I was happy with the black previously. Painted one set of steps and found that the colour was more orangey brown than red but would do. A couple of days later went to do the second set and on opening the tin found it was a bluey grey colour. Stirred it well but still no joy, then noticed a slight trace of orange. Kept stirring for what seemed like ages but slowly and surely it turned into familiar colour. That seems to be the trick, stir a lot more than you think necessary.
