Painting the Legacy

Starting in1921with 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.  

Since then, Rust-Oleum has been the secret weapon of artists who refuse to conform and crave reinvention. It's for the boundary-pushers, the muralists, the visionaries who make the ordinary extraordinary and the bold, relentless creators who turn concrete jungles into sprawling canvases.

The development of Rust-O Artisan Spray Paint is a celebration of that artistic reinvention. It’s 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.
