About Rust-Oleum
Rust-Oleum has been a pioneer in protective paint supplies and coatings since 1921, when a sea captain’s observation of fish oil halting corrosion on his ship deck sparked a breakthrough. That moment led to the development of the world’s first rust-preventive paint, and the founding of what would become America’s most trusted name in surface protection.
Now a flagship brand under RPM International Inc., Rust-Oleum has evolved into a global leader in protective paints, finishes, and specialty coatings. From DIY touch-up jobs to industrial-scale maintenance, their products are known for lasting performance, reliable adhesion, and easy application.
With over a century of innovation behind them, Rust-Oleum remains committed to solving real-world problems with cutting-edge technology - backed by quality, sustainability, and American manufacturing.
