Rust-Oleum 379906 Concrete Interior Wall Paint, Quart, Charcoal, (Pack of 1)

I used this paint to create a concrete effect on my wall, and the result was stunning. The coverage is excellent, and the application was smooth. It dries evenly and gives a sophisticated, modern look. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a stylish, textured finish.

Y’all, this treatment saved the day! We had hideous granite counters, but we didn’t want to pay $2k to replace them (plus unhooking plumbing, etc). I wanted an urban loft feel, so I tried this concrete paint. AMAZING! I did it in one afternoon just following the directions. Easy. Then I put on five coats of clear sealer. We love the look and the texture. Our carpenter said he loved it and asked who did it. Ha! We’ve had it for a couple months now: no chips or stains. Water rolls right off. Perfect. The last picture is a before shot of part of the counter.

This was so easy to apply and the finished product looks exactly as the advertised pictures do! Any painting which requires some special technique has a “results may vary” element, but this was fast, easy, and looks great!This was on fresh drywall, which I textured flat, primed, and applied the paint in less than an hour. I’m very happy with the end result.

I recently used Rust-Oleum 379906 Concrete Interior, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The application was smooth and easy, providing excellent coverage with minimal effort. It dried quickly and left a beautiful, durable finish that instantly refreshed the look of my concrete surface.

This stuff is fantastic. If you're looking for your place to look like an Olan Mills photography studio from the 90's. But I am not. I was looking for a concrete look.. this is not. Immediately painted over it with standard gray paint which looks MUCH better.

I bought the charcoal gray, and just now got to applying it. It was in the lower 80° Temps and about 65% humidity. First, the color is a little blue-er than I thought it would be, more of a dark slate charcoal blue. Second, my application is not a wall as recommended, but still for indoor use. I am using some old plywood as the test subject, old reddish birch half inch ply. I had polyurethane on it before. I gave a good sand with 220 and 320, and applied several coats of Bin 123 gray until I achieved coverage. Let stand for at least an hour and started with the concrete paint. At first I did like instructed with a synthetic chip brush. I did not like what I was getting, but I was going for a flat concrete look. I then proceeded with a fine foam roller for the remainder. After about 3 to 4 thin coats, I was able to pretty much double the amount of paint dispensed per face. It was drying very fast, but since I had 6 faces to paint, by the time I had all 6 done, the 1st was already dry. I just kept going. I did about 3 coats of the double amount, and the coverage, texture, and thickness are close to what I want. I may try and sand lightly with 800 grit tomorrow to lighten the color. It seems to be a pretty durable and robust paint that fills in voids well.

I like this look. I used a brush, I've seen other people use a sponge which might hide the brush strokes better. Took me about 6 hours with two 10ft x 12ft walls. Took two cans and I did thin out the second can by dipping my brush in a little water each time before I dipped in the paint. Might have been able to use one can if your primer was grey vs I had white.

I love this stuff! I’ve been wanting to do. Roman clay wall but didn’t want all the work that comes with it on my 16 ft tall wall. It turned out so good! I even used it on my wood fireplace as well. Just do small X’s. I had colored paint underneath and I didn’t want to paint my whole wall white first so it took 4 coats but so worth it!
