DESCRIPTION AND USES
Universal Clear Topcoat Spray is a premium all-surface paint that provides excellent long-lasting protection and durability. The rust preventive formula adheres to plastic, wood, metal, concrete, wicker, aluminum and masonry surfaces. These sprays apply easily, provide excellent coverage and dry fast to a tough, attractive finish. Universal features a comfort grip trigger that reduces fatigue caused by continuous spraying. Any angle spray allows you to spray even upside down.
TIP: Some plastics made of polyethylene such as plastic storage containers are manufactured in a way that may hinder maximum paint adhesion. Test paint in a hidden area first.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open garage. Use when temperature is between 50-90ºF (10º- 32°C) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces that, when heated, exceed 200ºF (93ºC) or galvanized metal. Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Previously coated surfaces must be sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface profile.

Prior to use, slide off the red safety clip from the trigger. Shake often during use. Hold can upright 8-12” from surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface. Keep the can in motion while spraying. Apply three or more light coats continuously, spraying of the surface with each coat. For best results, apply multiple light coats versus one heavy coat.
