what is the real difference between zinno and brilliantrot?

[Mike36]

Back from the dead but I've always said:

Zinno = True red

Brilliant Rot = Red with pink hue

Henna = Red with orange hue

I can’t speak to the difference exactly, but I have been slowly exploring of the shelf rattle can colors for my 89 zinno

Old forum wisdom said that Zinno = regal red. I have found this to be FALSE. I believe Rustoleum changed their paint recipe at some point. Apple / cherry is closer.

Are these the spray paints you are referring to:

Yes, I’ve tried a few brands.
