Q: Will this protect food from bacteria
A: We do not recommend Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Spray for use on food or surfaces that will have direct contact with food, since it is not a food-grade coating. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
submitted byRust-OleumSupport - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Yes, it would most likely kill bacteria on the surface of the food due to the ingredients that are forms of acetate and acetone..... BUT it would also get you very sick. #DO NOT CONSUME SPRAY PAINT
submitted byConcernedCitizen - 6 months agoA: Yes absolutely, and it will remove all the bacteria from your digestive system as well.
submitted by7Crucible - 6 years agoA: You can't eat spray paint. Its not for food.

Q: Can this spray be used to restore yellowed car head lamps?
A: After clearing my headlights with the appropriate sandpaper, compounding and polishing materials on my dull and yellow headlamps I coated them with this product. After 18 months they turned yellow.
submitted by - 5 years agoA: Thank you for reaching out. Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Clear Spray is not recommended for use on car headlights. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
submitted byRust-OleumSupport - 5 years agoBrand expertA: No. You have to get rid of the yellow first, which requires wet sanding with 1500 or 2000 grit. Then buffing with plastic compound, but thruth be told any rubbing compound would work except the aggressive cutting type. Headlight restoration kits are available, probably on here but if not, Harbor Freight has a kit for cheap. I suppose you can spray this product for long term protection AFTERWARDS, like a clearcoat.

Q: Can I use it to paint cardboard? Specifically Tri fold?
A: Great question! Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch 2X Ultra Cover Spray Paint is not recommended for tri-fold cardboard. When the cardboard moves, the paint will chip and peel. Currently, we do not have a paint suitable for painting cardboard. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15

Q: Can you use this spray on an outdoor wreath made of wood,cloth, and ribbons?
A: Happy to help, Minnie! While Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Spray can be used on exterior wood surfaces, we do not recommend it for use on fabric, ribbon, and other flexible surfaces. This coating cures to a hard finish, and it will start to crack and peel on flexible material as it bends and moves. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
submitted byRust-OleumSupport - 4 years agoBrand expertA: Recommend using the brand Design Master or other floral fabric sprays that are on the market for your wreaths. Those products are great for artificial flowers, fabric, etc....outdoor and indoor.

Q: After spraying this on furniture, should you use a top coat? If so, what should you finish it with?
A: Great question, Michelle. While a top coat isn't absolutely necessary with the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover 2X Spray, it can add to the durability and longevity of the finish. We recommend sticking with the same product line for the topcoat with our Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover 2X Clear Spray. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5

Q: Would this work for a pegboard that has not been primed?
A: We like the way you think, Ann! Yes, Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Spray can be used on pegboard. Since the surface is bare, additional coats may be needed for full coverage. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
submitted byRust-OleumSupport - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Unpainted pegboard needs to be sealed first since porous. White pegboard needs to be primed since slick. Then can spray paint in light even coats.
