Description and Use
Rust-Oleum® Farm & Implement Sprays are durable, rust preventive enamels available in bright original equipment colors. This Stops Rust® formula offers excellent coverage, chip resistance and color retention. Farm & Implement Sprays are ideal for tractors, farm implements, lawn mowers, and more. Not for use on galvanized metal.
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. Mold and mildew must be cleaned with a chlorinated cleaner or bleach solution. Rinse with fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry.
STEEL: Scrape and wire brush or power tool clean to remove loose rust, scale and deteriorated coatings. Use 7769 Rusty Metal Primer for sound rusted or clean metal before application of a finish coat. 7780 Clean Metal Primer is best for clean metal, but may be used on sound rusted metal as well.
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.
Application
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90 °F (10-32 °C) and the relative humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying. Protect the surrounding area from overspray. Overspray can carry a significant distance. Shake the 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. 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 two or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid drips and runs. Do not use near open flame.
Dry & Recoat
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF (21 °C) and 50% relative humidity. Dries to the touch in 2-4 hours and can be handled in 5-9 hours. Recoat within 1 hour or after 48 hours.
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. Throw away empty can in trash pick-up. 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 mineral spirits. Do not insert any object into can valve opening.
