.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
High Heat is a tough protective enamel that
renews and protects surfaces subject to intermittent heat up to
2,000°F (1093°C). This rust preventive formula is ideal for
automotive parts. High Heat Enamels 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.

..PAINTING APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open
garage. Use when temperature is between 50°F (10°C)
and 90°F (32°C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure
proper drying. Do not use on metal directly exposed to
flames. 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.
WARNING: If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may
release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD
DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN
DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a
HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to
protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead
Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log onto
www.epa.gov/lead.
PRIMING
Use of a Rust-Oleum 249340 High Heat Primer provides
added corrosion protection, superior adhesion and hiding
and is especially recommended for metal surfaces.
..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
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 8-12" 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 to avoid runs and
sags. Do not use near open flame.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F and 50% relative
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to
touch in 30 minutes and dries to handle in 1-2 hours. You
may recoat anytime after 1 hour. Once dry, High Heat
must be further cured to increase durability. Allow paint to
dry 1-2 hours before proceeding to the next steps below.

allow 30 minutes to cool. Bake at 600°F (315°C) for 30
minutes and then allow 30 minutes to cool. Caution: Be
sure not to exceed the heat tolerance of the least heat
tolerant part.
ITEMS ON THE VEHICLE
Run the vehicle at idle for 10 minutes and then allow 20
minutes to cool. Run vehicle at idle for 20 minutes, then let
cool for 20 minutes. Run vehicle at normal operating
