Rust-Oleum is a manufacturer of protective paints and coatings for home and industrial use, based in Illinois, USA. It was founded in 1921 by Captain Robert Fergusson after he noticed that raw fish oil spilled on rusty metal decks stopped corrosion from spreading. He wasn't a paint enthusiast, but he did care dearly for his ship. But this story explains the name at the very least!
Rust-Oleum have become a vast player in the paints and coatings industry, with a large European presence too. Their repair kits on our website are very popular, as are other ranges such as the X1 range of lubricants.
Our repair kits are intended to make decoration simple, approachable and fun. You don't need weeks off work to perform these domestic adjustments or a contractor interrupting your morning cornflakes on a school day. It can be a weekend project for you and your spouse, sibling, housemate, a bonding exercise if you like! But most importantly, it is Rawlins Paints and Rust-Oleum making house improvements easy and readily available to our customers.
