PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) 
APPLICATION (cont.) 
STEP 1: Apply Base Coat in 4’x4’ sections, and maintain a 
wet edge while rolling. Do not let product puddle. Only one 
coat is recommended, however White requires two coats. 
After coating the entire floor, wait 6 hours before applying any 
necessary touch-ups. Let touched-up areas dry for 1-2 hours 
(dry to touch) and then Top Coat can be applied. If no touch 
ups are necessary, Top Coat may be applied 6 hours after 
initial Base Coat application. 
STEP 2: Apply 
Rust-Oleum Home Top Coat in 4’x4’ 
sections, and maintain a wet edge while rolling. Avoid 
applying too thick and do not let product puddle. Only one 
coat is recommended. If a second coat is desired for 
additional durability or uniformity, wait until the first coat is 
dry to touch (1-2 hours) before applying, but must apply 
within 24 hours. For vertical application, apply Top Coat in 
two thin coats. Top Coat must be abraded if recoating after 
24 hours. 
After full system cure of 7 days, if additional coats 
of Base Coat and Top Coat are desired, simply clean the 
coated floor, reapply the Base Coat and then reapply the 
Top Coat. 
IMPORTANT: Rust-Oleum Home Base Coat and Top 
Coat are required for the project.
