.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
Automotive Universal Touch-Up Aerosol is a paint
and primer in one that repairs and seals surface scratches. Its
weather and UV resistant formula dries fast and provides long
lasting protective barrier that seals out moisture and prevents rust
and corrosion. It is suitable for use on metal, fiberglass,
aluminum and plastic. It is great for use on cars, trucks, vans and
SUVs.
Universal Touch-Up Aerosols feature 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.

PRIMING
Use of a Rust-Oleum Universal Bonding Primer (286793)

especially recommended for heavily rusted or pitted
surfaces.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean the area to be painted with mineral spirits to remove
all oil, grease, wax and dirt. Remove loose paint and rust
with a wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy
surfaces. For best results, dry or wet sand with 400-grit
sandpaper to feather adjacent paint surfaces and prepare
metal.
