Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn’t particularly care about paint. He just wanted to keep his ship intact. That’s why, when he noticed that an accidental splash of fish oil had stopped the relentless spread of corrosion on his rusty metal deck, he immediately recognized it for what it was: A valuable solution.
The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world’s first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution—which has led to some of the most cutting-edge, durable and innovative products in the industry.
If you've got a surface you need to protect or a look you want to transform, you've come to the right place. We have a coating for every challenge.
Welcome to Rust-Oleum, home of trusted quality—and powerful solutions—since 1921.

Founded in 2002, we’re a family company with an entrepreneurial spirit to find innovative solutions to help customers protect what’s most important to them, from the delicate surfaces in their homes to avoiding costly repair or replacement to protecting their families and homes against harmful germs.
It started with a passion to make natural stone and quartz care and maintenance easy for homeowners with the best solutions and technologies drawn from a family legacy. The Granite Gold® brand was born out of three generations’ expertise in stone and quartz fabrication, installation and restoration. Our founders, cousins Lenny Sciarrino and Lenny Pellegrino, grew up in the family business and are named after their grandfather, Leonardo Pellegrino, who came to the United States in the 1950s, bringing with him an Italian heritage known for expertise in the stone industry that he passed on to generations of family.
The same passion to bring innovation to customers led us to introduce the MicroGold® brand of powerful antimicrobial and antibacterial solutions to help customers protect their families and homes. With Guardsman®, it’s more than a century’s worth of expertise in caring for and protecting wood furniture – trusted worldwide by furniture professionals – and our industry-leading formulas also include care and maintenance for fabric, leather, appliances and outdoor furniture.
Passion. Innovation. Expertise. Our commitment to our customers.
