.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
High Performance Acrylic Pool Paint is
designed to offer advantages over traditional solvent-
based paints. This high performance acrylic can and
should be applied to damp surfaces. This paint is safe to
apply to previously painted chlorinated and synthetic
rubber surfaces. This acrylic will clean up with soap and
water and can allow the pool to be filled within 3 days after
the final application of paint, when short down times are
critical.
Do not use on fiberglass surfaces, hot tubs, or spas.

SURFACE PREPARATION
ALL SURFACES: All surfaces should be scrubbed clean
with Rust-Oleum Clean & Prep Solution or a suitable
detergent and water solution and allowed to dry
completely.
PREVIOUSLY COATED: Previously coated surfaces must
be sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy
finishes should be scarified by sanding or sweep blasting
to create a surface profile. The High Performance Acrylic
Pool Paint is compatible with most coatings, but a test
patch is suggested.
CONCRETE OR MASONRY: New concrete or masonry
must cure 30 days before coating. Any concrete surface
must be protected from moisture transmission from
uncoated areas. Remove all loose, unsound concrete.

and Etch Solution, or by grinding. Surface sealers and
curing agents must be removed by grinding.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are
between 50-90°F (10-38°C) and the relative humidity is
less than 85%. Rust-Oleum Acrylic Pool Paint can be
applied by brush, ⅜ nap roller, or spray. Avoid painting in
the midday sun. Application is recommended early in the
day or late in the afternoon when at least 2 hours of
sunlight remain after completion of the job. Two full coats
of High Performance Acrylic Pool Paint are required on bare,
uncoated, substrates. Apply each coat to a uniform finish
within the published coverage rate. Apply one or two coats
of Rust-Oleum Acrylic Pool Paint to previously painted
surfaces at the published coverage rates. In areas of low
humidity (less than 20% and high temperatures over 90°F)
dampen the surface to be painted with a fine mist water
spray prior to painting.
Coverage and number of coats will vary depending on
porosity and texture of the surface. The first coat on bare
surfaces can be thinned 10-15% with clean potable (fresh)
water. Allow 4 hours drying time prior to recoat and 3 days
before filling outdoor pools, (6 days for indoor pools). Add
1 extra day of drying for every day of rain prior to filling the
pool.
SLIP RESISTANCE SURFACES
The Rust-Oleum Concrete Saver
®
200 Anti-Skid Additive
can be used on steps, wading and baby pools, and other
areas to improve the slip resistance. Immediately after
applying coating in the desired area, broadcast the 200
Anti-Skid Additive by hand, to your desired amount, onto
the wet film. After the paint has dried, sweep off loose
material and apply another coat of Rust-Oleum Acrylic
Pool Paint to cover and seal.
CLEAN-UP
When finished, wash tools and equipment with soap and
water. Clean up drips or spatters immediately as dried
paint is very difficult to remove. Properly dispose of all
soiled rags.
MAINTENANCE
Recoating of small area touch-up can be made at any time
by following recommended application procedures.
