®
High Performance Wheel enhances the look and
color of automobile wheels and helps prevent the formation of
rust. It is suitable for use on plastic hubcaps and wheels made of
aluminum or steel. High Performance Wheel 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 50-90°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) or galvanized metal. Avoid spraying in very windy
and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect
from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Wash the surface with a commercial detergent, or other
suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and dry
with a clean cloth. Thoroughly wipe down the wheel
surface with Rust-Oleum Wax & Tar Remover. Remove
loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper.
Lightly sand smooth and glossy surfaces. For best results,
use Rust-Oleum Adhesion Promoter or sand surface with
#1000 grit sandpaper.

release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD
DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN

respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a
HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to
