Description and Use 

Rust-Oleum Automotive Camouflage Spray is designed to provide a non-reflective finish for hunting and sporting equipment. Various colors can be combined in a variety of patterns to blend with any terrain. Camouflage is suitable for use on vehicles, tree stands, decoys, blinds, boats and equipment. To mimic real life patterns, apply to leaves and twigs as stencils. Apply a base coat of color. Place the leaves and twigs randomly over the object to be painted. Spray over the items using three or four colors. Camouflage enamel features 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 reduces fatigue caused by continuous spraying.

Note: Items painted with Camouflage should not be immersed in water for extended periods of time.

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 85% 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.

Surface Preparation 

Wash the surface with a commercial detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and dry with a clean cloth. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces.

Use of a Rust-Oleum primer provides added corrosion protection, enhances adhesion and hiding, and is especially recommended for metal and wood surfaces. Recommended primers include 7769830 Rusty Metal Primer and 7780830 Clean Metal Primer.
