APPLICATION
Sprays: Shake can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. If mixing ball fails to rattle DO NOT STRIKE CAN. Contact Rust-Oleum. Shake often during use. Hold can upright 10-16” 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 two or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid drips and runs. Do not use near open flame.
Brush Goods: Mix thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed. Thin material only, if necessary, with mineral spirits. For brush or roller application, thin no more than 5%. Do not thin with gasoline, lacquer thinner, turpentine, etc. Apply with a good quality brush, nap roller, or conventional spray gun. A second coat is not recommended.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Sprays: Dries to touch in 30 minutes and to handle in 1-2 hours. Allow paint to dry for 1 hour before heating. In order to achieve full cure, the coating must be heat cured at 450ºF for one hour. Product may emit smoke and harmless odor.
Brush Goods: Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to touch in 2-4 hours, to handle in 5-9 hours, and is fully dry in 24 hours. Allow paint to dry 24 hours before heating. When using the subject surface for the first time, open windows and provide ventilation as the new paint finish may emit smoke.
CLEAN-UP
Sprays: Clean valve immediately after use by turning can upside down and depressing spray button for 3-5 seconds. Clean-up wet paint with xylene or mineral spirits. Properly discard empty container. Do not burn or place in home trash compactor.
Brush Goods: Clean brush, roller, and other tools with mineral spirits. Dispose of soiled rags properly.
CLOGGING
If the valve clogs, twist and pull off spray tip and rinse in a solvent such as mineral spirits. Do not insert any object into can valve opening.
PAINTING CONDITIONS
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 85% to ensure proper drying. Priming is not recommended. Do not use on metal directly exposed to open flame or in direct contact with food, such as a grill grate. If using sprays, avoid application 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.
