.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,
dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from
spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean all surfaces with soap and water, rinse and let dry.
Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or
sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead 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.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
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 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. For best appearance,
apply two light coats a few minutes apart.
Note: Rust Reformer 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
wider finger pad reduces fatigue caused by continuous
spraying.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry times are based on 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Allow to
dry for 24 hours. If desired, apply a top coat after 24 hours.
For maximum top coat adhesion and protection, use
Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Paint.
CLEAN-UP
Wipe off tip when finished. Clean up wet paint with xylene
or mineral spirits. Throw away empty can in trash pickup.
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.
