I think it would screw with the results. As if it's the topcoat they r testing, part of that is adhesivity to different materials. I feel painting everything with black paint would introduce a second, unnecessary, and possibly result screwing variable

[@TheSlimCognito]

I'm betting Todd at project farm can find pros and cons to both paints if he tried.

[@ChuckRage]

Yeah, I've always just assumed Rustoleum was a decent brand, this video was eye opening

[@TheSlimCognito]

@@ChuckRage lacquer scratch tests hardly show paint quality though. Rustoleum does make an industrial enamal clear coat which is extremely durable, though it wasn't shown in this video which is what I'm guessing krylon is trying to compete against with their ultra hard enamel. Different paints have different uses. One tests hardly shows the entire brand. Example being primers. Krylon primers have a tendency to not adhere to cold metal as well but adhere to cold plastic just fine. Rustoleum adheres to cold metal just fine but doesn't adhere to cold plastic as well. Each job has a paint. It's just a matter of knowing which own to use when. That's why my paint locker has both brands.

[@ChuckRage]

@@TheSlimCognito Thanks! This was really informative, I don't know much about paint. Most I've done with Rustoleum is use the peel coat. Didn't know there could be such a difference between brands and the materials they're applied to.

[@radicalxedward8047]

Isn’t laquer typically pretty soft? You want an enamel.

[@zeanyt2372]

It depends on the formula. The krylon is got some kind of voodoo going on.

[@christhorney]

enamel isnt harder than an acrylic laquer, enamel paints are rubbery unless they have hardener but it will still be soft, industrial enamel (such as cast iron enamel cookware) cannot be compared to spray can enamel. (taken from wiki: Enamel paint is paint that air-dries to a hard, usually glossy, finish, used for coating surfaces that are outdoors or otherwise subject to hard wear or variations in temperature; it should not be confused with decorated objects in "painted enamel", where vitreous enamel is applied with brushes and fired in a kiln)

[@YingwuUsagiri]

If you're going to do this sort of thing more often just get one of those (cheap) Mohs hardness pick testing sets.

[@zeanyt2372]

I would love to see this become a regular thing.

[@theteenagegardener]

Like JerryRigEverything

[@dayswithanton8773]

This! I also don't understand the weights, you want to scratch, not indent the specimens. You should use the same pressure on all the tests, and if it scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7, you have your results. Amirite?

Scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7

[@radicalxedward8047]

Scratching is determined by hardness not weight. You can dent the material with weight, or you could scrape it up (which would mean the scrather material doesn’t matter) but that’s it.

[@bakervanbv299]

Wrong. While the ability of a material to scratch is determined by hardness, if it has less weight there is less force, so it doesn't even try to scratch. By your logic, setting a diamond in a table would immediately go straight through the finish and embed itself up until it was fully supported by the wood.
