.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
Epoxy Paint is a one step epoxy coating that does
not require a primer. It gives the appearance of a tough baked-on,
porcelain-like finish that provides excellent corrosion resistance. It
is suitable for use on metal, aluminum, fiberglass and plastic.
Epoxy Paint 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 wider finger pad reduces fatigue
caused by continuous spraying.
