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.
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.
