General Purpose Primers
provide a sound base for application of Painter’s Touch
General Purpose Enamels on heavily rusted steel. Use of
primers promotes topcoat adhesion and helps prevent
chipping, cracking and peeling. Use of these primers
eliminates the need for multiple coats of enamel finish. Rust-
Oleum Painter’s Touch General Purpose Primer Sprays
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 to reduce
fatigue caused by continuous spraying.

PRODUCT APPLICATION
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open
garage. Apply when temperature is between 50-90°F (10-
32°C) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying.
Do not apply to surfaces, when heated, exceed 200°F
(93°C). Do not apply to galvanized steel. Avoid spraying in
very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to
protect from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
ALL SURFACES: Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and
chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a
commercial detergent or other suitable cleaning method.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. All
surfaces must be dry at time of application.
PREVIOUSLY COATED: 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. The Painter’s Touch General Purpose Primers are
compatible with most coatings, but a test patch is
suggested.
PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
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.
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 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 multiple light coats versus one
heavy coat. Wet sand on metal and dry sand on wood too
achieve the smoothest, most uniform base for the topcoat.
Use #400 grit wet or dry sandpaper. For best results, let dry
at least 30 minutes before wet sanding. Do not use near
open flame.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F (21°C) and 50%
relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures.
Dries to the touch in 20 minutes, to handle in 1 hour and is
fully dry in 24 hours. Apply a second coat of primer or
Painter’s Touch General Purpose Enamel within 1 hour or
after 48 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Wipe off tip before storing. Clean-up wet paint with xylene
or mineral spirits. Properly discard empty container. Do not
burn or place aerosols 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 stick pin or other
objects into the stem.
