I've looked at WIKI and can't find the answer to this . I am probably going to roller my van with Rustoleum. I'll be doing it outside, but under cover (if you see what I mean). In view of this rather damp weather I am wondering if Rustoleum absorbs moisture like cellulose and other paints. I remember in my cellulose days how the paint bloomed in the presence of dampness . Anyone know please?

I finished painting my roof in the rain, keft water marks, plus most of the rest was painted on not very nice days, lovely and shiny still, I just dont think this paint gives a $hit about anything.

as an example I got some on my thumb nail, like you do if you dont wear gloves, the paint was still there a month later, and I do the washing-up by hand (well the pans anyway)

Normal house and car paint usually stays about a week at the most, so combi colour is 4 times stickier than normal paints.

The best tip I read about combicolor was to wedge a wire all the way around under the rubbers to lift the edge from the paint, and allow a bit under, much easier to put the masking tape on aswell. Of course this would work with any paint, but it is the bit your eye goes to.

Yup - think airfix enamel. It has similar properties and we all know how difficult that was to get off stuff right kids?

You do need a dry surface and ideally you'd paint when theres less moisture in the air but some got great results in October/November. Its not for me personally but rustoleum is very forgiving in that sense. I just prefer warmer months cos of low moisure, quicker drying time and my knees which are hell in damp weather.
