DESCRIPTION AND USES
Rust-Oleum Automotive Acrylic Enamel 2X is designed on average to provide twice the coverage on metal, most plastic and wood compared to competitive general purpose spray paints. This general purpose paint covers with less spray passes which allows projects to be completed faster and easier. Rust-Oleum Acrylic Enamel 2X features an any angle spray which allows you to spray in any direction, even upside down. A comfort spray tip with a wider finger pad to reduce fatigue caused by continuous spraying.
TIP: Some plastics made of polyethylene are manufactured in a way that may hinder maximum paint adhesion. Test paint in a hidden area first.
