From snagging great deals to discovering new treasures, our second annual Yard Sale didn’t disappoint. The event featured unique DIY projects donated by our teams, live spray paint demonstrations and representation from Lake County Veterans and Family Services (LCVFS), who shared insights about the vital work they do to support local veterans in need. We’re thrilled to drive meaningful impact in the communities where we live and work. Thanks to those who participated, we raised more than $3,400 for LCVFS after a match from RO Cares.

About us
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. __ Rust-Oleum Corporation is a subsidiary of RPM International, Inc.
