When preparing track for top coat, CS recommends the use of Rust-Oleum® Self Etching Primer. This has been tested
on our product in our warehouse and is readily available nationwide. Other self etching primers may be used but we
recommended that you test first. Use the appropriate color primer for the top coat color you intend to use.

Self Etching Primer - Technical Data Sheet
The technical data and suggestions for use contained herein are
correct to the best of our knowledge, and offered in good faith.
The statements of this literature do not constitute a warranty,
express, or implied, as to the performance of these products.
All technical information is subject to change without notice.
DESCRIPTION AND USES
Rust-Oleum® Self Etching Primer is designed to prepare
bare metal, aluminum and fiberglass surfaces to promote
maximum adhesion and smoothness of the topcoat
finish. Self Etching Primer is a rust preventive coating
that etches and primes in one coat. Self Etching Primer
features an advanced spray system that allows you to
spray at any angle, even upside down for those hard to
reach areas. A comfort spray tip with a wider finger pad
reduces fatigue caused by continuous spraying.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
PAINTING CONDITIONS - Use outdoors or in a well
ventilated area such as an open garage. Use when
temperature is between 50-90°F (10- 32°C) and humidity
is below 85% to ensure proper drying. Do not apply
to surfaces that, when heated, exceed 200°F (93°C) or
galvanized metal. Avoid spraying in very windy and
dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect
from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION - Thoroughly clean the area to
be primed with mineral spirits to remove all oil, grease,
wax and dirt. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly.
Lightly sand the surface with #400 grit wet or dry
sandpaper. Keep the sandpaper wet by soaking it in
water while sanding. Wipe the sanded surface clean
when finished.
APPLICATION - Shake can vigorously for one minute
after the mixing ball begins to rattle. If mixing ball fails
to rattle DO NOT STRIKE CAN. Contact Rust-Oleum.
Shake often during use. Hold can 12-16” from surface
and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly
overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same
distance from the surface and in motion while spraying.
For best adhesion, apply 2 or 3 thin coats and allow
each coat to dry for 2 minutes before applying the next
coat. Allow the final coat of Self Etching Primer to dry
for a minimum of 3-4 hours before dry sanding, or 15
minutes before wet sanding with #400 grit sandpaper.
Do not use near open flame.
DRY & RECOAT - Dry and recoat times are based on
70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time
at cooler temperatures. Dries to the touch in 10 minutes
and to handle in 15-30 minutes. Apply a top coat after
30 minutes.
CLEAN-UP - Wipe off tip when finished. Clean up wet
paint with xylene or mineral spirits. Properly discard
empty container. Do not burn or place in home trash
compactor.
CLOGGING - If the valve clogs, twist and pull off spray
tip and rinse in a solvent such as mineral spirits. Do not
insert any object into can valve opening.
