I picked this stuff up awhile back when I couldn't get any Tamiya TS-80 and before I got a box of Testors Dullcote.
Anyone use it? Opinions?
I'm in the middle of my project and thought I'll use it on tracks and wheels. I've used their primer with good results. FWIW I've seen modelers use latex house paint with a paint sprayer for RC models and swear by it.

Yes, I have used the matte as a protective final coat. I tried it only once, but so far it's fine. I cannot help but wonder if it's the Testor's Lacquer formula in disguise.
I suggest playing it safe. Do the tracks only. Use Testor's or Tamiya on the rest. That way if the RustOleum yellows or something else happens, the metal tracks will be easy to strip and redo.

I agree. That was my idea. I found the cans last week during some spring cleaning. I forgot I even bought them about a year ago. Never been opened or used. I think it'd be perfect for the tracks. I am just finishing up the wheels and since you'll barely see them I think I'll use it on them too.
