DESCRIPTION AND USES
Rust-Oleum Automotive Matte Finish provides a low profile, non-reflective finish that is fast drying and has excellent coverage. This durable formula can be applied over bare and primed metal surfaces for a smooth matte finish. This finish is ideal for use on autos, trailers, RVs and auto accessories. Matte Finish 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.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING PROJECT
SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean with soap and water, rinse and let dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces.
PRIMING
Use of a Rust-Oleum Primer provides added corrosion protection on metal and promotes adhesion and hiding. A primer is especially recommended for heavily rusted or pitted surfaces. Recommended primers include 249419 Red, 252472 Light Gray or 249415 Gray.
APPLICATION
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open garage. Use when temperature is between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces, when heated, exceed 200ºF (93ºC). Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.

Hold can upright 10-16” from surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can in motion while spraying. Apply 2 or more light coats a few minutes apart. Apply multiple coats versus applying one heavy coat. Do not use near open flame.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to touch in 20 minutes, to handle in 1 hour and fully dry in 24 hours. If necessary apply a second coat anytime.
