.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
Paint for Plastic Clear is recommended to be
applied over Rust-Oleum Paint for Plastic colors to provide a high
gloss, protective coating, or use directly on indoor and outdoor
plastics to renew and revitalizes the surface. No primer is
required. These sprays are suitable for use on automotive
plastics, polypropylene, polystyrene, resin, PVC, and fiberglass,
and vinyl plastics such as chairs, tables and planters. Note:
Some plastics made of polyethylene such as Little Tikes
®
children’s products are manufactured in a way that may hinder
maximum paint adhesion. Test this product in an inconspicuous
area to test for compatibility on the surface.
Rust-Oleum
®
Paint for Plastic Clear 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.

..PAINTING 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.
Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover
surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
For new plastic surfaces, thoroughly wipe down surface
with paint thinner to promote adhesion. For aged or
weathered surfaces, remove loose material with a brush or
scraper, clean with soap and water, rinse and let dry. If
mildew is present, wash with a bleach solution, rinse and
let dry.
