That's the thing--it's EVERY type of paint imaginable. Rustoleum is just the brand name.

In the old days (like the 60s), people bought "Rustoleum" just to paint rusty fences, bicycles, anything metal. But since then, they were either acquired by someone...or THEY acquired someone...and now Rustoleum is only the brand name, and they sell everything.

I guess they figured that since the name Rustoleum was so well-known, they would use that as the main brand name. But older folks who've been around awhile STILL think of metal when they think of the name, which is just plain wrong.

Look at their product list at the right of this page:
