Not Rustoleum, but I have used Red Devil oil based, 1 part polyurethane in a gun, should be about the same thing. Cans say thinning is not recommended but I thinned mine slightly with mineral spirits (recommended for cleanup). Dry time is fairly long.

Yep I've done it! Rustoleum needs to be thinned to be sprayed. Drying time tends to be on the long side using regular paint thinner. It can be accelerated a bit with naptha. Use a good respirator in a well ventilated area.
