. PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical
contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial
detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with
fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Remove loose
paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Previously
coated surfaces must be sound and in good condition.
Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be scarified by
sanding to create a surface profile.
Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means
may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. LEAD IS
TOXIC. Contact the U.S.EPA/Lead Information Hotline at
1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
PRIMING
Use of a Rust-Oleum primer provides superior adhesion
and hiding and is especially recommended for bare wood
and metal. Apply an undercoat of primer on darker
surfaces for maximum brilliance.
APPLICATION
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are
between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and the relative humidity is
below 85% to ensure proper drying. 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. Hold can upright 10-16" from surface and
spray in a steady back and forth motion, slightly
overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance
from the surface. Keep the can in motion while spraying.
Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid
drips and runs. Do not use near open flame.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF (21°C) and 50%
relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures.
Dries to the touch in 15 minutes and is fully dry in 24
hours. Recoat at any time.
CLEAN-UP
Clean valve immediately after use by turning can upside
down and depressing spray button for 3-5 seconds (some
paint will be sprayed out, so be careful to not inadvertently
spray yourself or other objects). Clean up wet paint with
xylene or mineral spirits. Throw away empty can in trash
pick-up. 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.
