Rust-Oleum Introduces Expansive New Paint Line at Blain’s Farm & Fleet

Curated color choices, trusted performance and simplified selection help consumers transform any wall

VERNON HILLS, Ill., Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For more than a century, people have turned to Rust-Oleum products to beautify, protect and enhance what’s important. Now, the company is bringing that same trusted approach to one of the most visible surfaces in the home: the walls.

Available now at all Blain's Farm & Fleet locations, Rust-Oleum's new paint line combines a thoughtfully curated color collection with multiple performance levels designed to meet the needs of homeowners and professional painters alike.

"Analysis paralysis is real, especially when overwhelmed by thousands of paint color options," said Kendra Cardin, product manager for architectural coatings, Rust-Oleum. "We saw an opportunity to simplify the experience with a thoughtfully curated color collection and clear performance tiers. The result is a paint program that helps people move from inspiration to action with confidence."

Color made simpler
Instead of sorting through thousands of nearly identical options, decisionmakers can choose from a thoughtfully selected collection of more than 500 colors. The streamlined palette helps narrow choices while still providing the flexibility to create spaces that reflect personal style.

Consumers can also use Rust-Oleum's Visualizer Tool to virtually see colors in their own spaces before making a decision.

Performance for real-life spaces
The lineup was intentionally developed with meaningful performance step-ups, making it easier for homeowners and professional painters to find the right product for the project. From everyday room refreshes to high-traffic living spaces and commercial environments, the collection offers solutions designed to deliver lasting results.

A paint for every project
The new Rust-Oleum paint lineup includes:

• Iconic™ Signature Interior Paint + Primer: Premium performance featuring a specially selected one-coat hide color palette, outstanding color depth and richness, and long-lasting durability to create beautiful, designer-quality spaces.
• Legend™ Advanced Interior Paint + Primer: Enhanced protection against stains, scuffs and everyday wear, making it ideal for busy households and high-traffic spaces. 
• Legend™ Advanced Exterior Paint + Primer: Rain-ready performance in as little as 60 minutes combined with advanced exterior protection helps exteriors stand up to changing weather conditions.
• Tradition™ Interior Paint + Primer: Smooth application, ultra-low VOC, low odor, easy touch-ups, and long-lasting color, to make painting projects simpler from start to finish.
• Tradition™ Exterior Paint + Primer: Dependable all-climate protection in a long-lasting finish designed to help homes look their best in any season.
