DESCRIPTION AND USES
Rust-Oleum Specialty Plastic Primer Spray is designed to prepare plastic surfaces to be top coated with any Rust-Oleum color or finish. These sprays are ideal for use on polypropylene, polystyrene, resin, PVC, fiberglass, and vinyl plastics such as chairs, tables, and planters.
TIP: Some plastics made of polyethylene such as plastic storage containers are manufactured in a way that may hinder maximum paint adhesion. Test paint in a hidden area first.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
For new plastic surfaces, thoroughly wipe down surface with paint thinner to promote adhesion. For aged or weathered surfaces, remove loose material with a brush or scraper, clean with soap and water, rinse and let dry. Sanding may be required for glossy or smooth surfaces. If mildew is present, wash with a bleach solution, rinse and let dry.
APPLICATION
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area. Use when temperature is between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying. Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
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 and in motion while spraying. For best adhesion, apply one THIN coat instead of one heavy coat or multiple coats. Do not use near open flame.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to touch in 20-30 minutes, to handle in 1 hour and fully dry in 24 hours. Apply any Rust-Oleum oil-based finish coat after 1 hour. Apply any latex topcoat after 4 hours. Maximum adhesion is achieved in 5-7 days.
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. Properly discard empty container. 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.
