PRODUCT APPLICATION
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 7569 Red Primer for sound rusted or clean metal before application of a finish coat. 7582 Gray 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. Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead.

Overspray can carry a significant distance. 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.

Apply 2 or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid drips and runs.
