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 65% 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 and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
PRIMING
A primer is not required or recommended.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Wash the surface with a commercial detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and dry with a clean cloth.
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 8-12" from surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface and in motion while spraying. Apply 4 or more light coats to build the desired coating thickness, followed by one medium coat to achieve a smooth final film. Allow the coating to dry slightly (about 5 minutes) between coats. More coats will result in a thicker coating which is easier to remove when desired. Allow the coating to cure for 24 hours before washing. Do not use near open flame.
DRY & RECOAT
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 and can be handled in 1 hour. The film can be peeled off once the coating has fully cured. Naphtha may assist in the removal of film in intricate areas.
REMOVAL
When desired, Peel Coat can be easily peeled off from the surface to remove. No need to use a scraper or other such tool that could mar the surface. Simply use the pads of your fingertips, roll back the coating working from the edge, inwards toward the center of the coated object. Once the edge is lifted, grab the coating and begin to slowly peel back the coating, working towards the center of the object. For best results, maintain a slow, even pull and don’t overstretch the film. It is recommended that Peel coat not remain on a surface for more than 6 months.
CLEAN-UP
When finished spraying, clear the spray valve by turning the can upside down and pushing the button for 5 seconds. Allow wet paint to dry and once dry, peel away or clean up wet paint with xylene or naphtha. Properly discard empty container. Do not burn or place in home trash compactor.
CLOGGING
If the valve clogs, twist and pull off the spray tip and rinse in a solvent such as xylene or naphtha. Do not insert any object into the can valve opening.
