DESCRIPTION AND USES
Rust-Oleum
®
Low VOC Porch & Floor Coating provides a
protective, decorative finish on interior or exterior wood and
concrete surfaces. The urethane-fortified acrylic formula is
engineered for color retention and adhesion, and resists
scuffing, staining, cracking, and peeling. The durable, UV,
weather & mildew resistant finish is easy to maintain,
provides excellent coverage over new or previously coated
surfaces, and can be easily cleaned up with soap and water.
For use on porches, patios, basements, walkways, stairs,
and railings.
Note: Not for use on garage floors or driveways.

PRODUCT APPLICATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
STARTING PROJECT
SURFACE PREPARATION
Whether over bare or previously coated wood or concrete,
proper surface preparation is critical to performance:
1. Before coating, use a wire brush or sander to remove any
loose or unsound surface areas. For maximum adhesion,
strip or scrape/sand any unsound paint.
2. Thoroughly clean to remove ground-in dirt, mildew, mold
and algae stains, and any other surface contaminants with
an appropriate heavy-duty cleaner/degreaser (sold
separately).
3. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to dry before
coating.
PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)
UNCOATED, NEW WOOD
Use on all species of pressure-treated lumber, Pine, Fir,
Hemfir, Cypress, Cedar, Redwood, Poplar, Hickory and
other North American hardwoods. Ideal for weathered wood
where hiding signs of aging is desired. New wood should
age for a minimum of 6 months before applying Rust-Oleum
Porch & Floor.
After cleaning, conduct a Splash Test to ensure the surface
is ready to be coated. Sprinkle several handfuls of water on
multiple areas of the surface. If the water absorbs rapidly,
the surface is ready to be coated. If the water beads,
puddles or is not absorbed, an internal or external barrier
exists and must be eliminated (strip/sand) before painting
can begin.
CONCRETE
Note: Allow newly poured concrete to cure for a minimum of
28 days prior to coating.
Bare Concrete: After cleaning/degreasing, for proper
penetration and maximum adhesion, use Rust-Oleum Clean
& Etch or Concrete Etch (sold separately). Follow label
instructions carefully and allow the floor to dry completely.
Wipe your fingers over the clean, dry surface. If you see any
dust or powder on your fingers, repeat rinsing and scrubbing
until the floor is clean.
Previously Coated Concrete: Remove any loose or peeling
paint, stain or sealer by wire brush or other suitable method.
To ensure proper adhesion, scuff sand the entire surface.
Wash the entire floor with Rust-Oleum Cleaner & Degreaser
and scrub the surface using a stiff bristle brush or broom.
Spot etch all exposed concrete surfaces using Rust-Oleum
Clean & Etch or Concrete Etch. Rinse thoroughly and allow
to dry completely.
Note: Not recommended on Asphalt
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any
surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE; ESPECIALLY IN
CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID
EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator to control
lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and
a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself
and your family by contacting the National Lead Information
Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
