PAINTING CONDITIONS 
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open 
garage. Apply when temperature is between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC) 
and humidity is below 85% to ensure efficient use of the product. 
Do not apply to an area that, when heated, will exceed 120°F 
(49°C). Avoid spraying in windy, dusty conditions. Cover 
surrounding area to protect from spray mist. 
 APPLICATION 
Shake can well before using and often during use. Hold can 
upright 12-16” from the surface and apply a light, thin, even coat 
to cover the surface. Additional coats provide increased 
protection. Wipe off excess with a clean cloth if the coating is too 
heavy. Re-apply every 1-2 years for indoor uses and every 6 
months for outdoor uses.  
PAINTING 
If surfaces are to be painted in the future, remove Rust Inhibitor 
from the surface with a solvent such as acetone or mineral spirits 
prior to painting.
