My quick review of GLIDDEN MAX-FLEX Spray Paint FYI

[FrankEV]

While looking for a different color for painting a Frame, I found this Glidden product in HD and tried it on a lark. 

I’m happy to state that it pretty much does what it states on the can. “Dries withing 5 minutes (to the touch - my words) without drips or streaks.”  It also states “Flawless Finish” which could be questionable, but quite close to the truth.   It also states it is a Interior/exterior Paint + Primer. 

I found doing a good sanding job and applying a primer (I use either Krylon or Rustoleum) prior  to applying the finish Glidden product makes for even a nicer finish.

It should be noted that you must be careful not to apply it in too heavy coats.  The paint lays very flat without puddleing, and because it dries quickly it allows multiple coats to be applied rather quickly.  However, although it dries quickly to the touch, it takes a day or so to become hard and durable.  Very easily marred before then.

The available colors were limited at HD and the color names are quite unique, to say the least. 

I personally like the product better than most other spray can paint brands mainly because of the quick dry time.  Makes finishing a frame a lot quicker.   

Doing a little research, I found that there are more colors and finishes available, that I did not see on the shelf in HD.  Herfe is a link to HD Glidden products: https://www.homedepot.com/collection/paint/glidden-max-flex-spray-paint/Family-320730528

Hope some of you find this review useful.

I'll have to check it out.  I need to re-paint some steel targets.  Don't really need the flawless finish because they're just going to get shot up anyway, but the 5 minute drying time is a plus.

Thanks for the review Frank.  I might try these myself the next time I need such.  

I clicked the link and it appears that my local HD has ~28 colors in stock.  They are indeed creative with their color names!
