  • Updated

DESCRIPTION AND USES

Rust-Oleum Automotive Paint for Plastic renews and revitalizes indoor and outdoor plastics. No primer is required. These sprays are ideal for use on automotive plastics, polypropylene, polystyrene resin, PVC, and fiberglass. Test this product in an inconspicuous area to test for compatibility on the surface. Rust-Oleum Paint for Plastic 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

SURFACE PREPARATION

For new plastic surfaces, thoroughly wipe down surface with paint thinner to promote adhesion. For aged or weathered surfaces, remove loose material with a brush or scraper, clean with soap and water, rinse and let dry. Sanding may be required for glossy or smooth surfaces. If mildew is present, wash with a bleach solution, rinse and let dry.

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, when heated, exceed 200°F (93°C). Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
