Description and Use
Rust-Oleum Engine Enamel Spray is formulated to create a smooth finish on automotive engines and other automotive surfaces which reach intermittent temperatures up to 500°F (260°C). Engine 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.
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 galvanized metal. Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
