..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are above 50-
90ºF (10-32ºC) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper
drying. Do not apply to surfaces that will exceed 200ºF (93ºC).
Do not use on galvanized steel.
SURFACE PREPARATION
FOR NEW PRE-PRIMED STEEL OR WOOD DOORS:
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by
washing the surface with a commercial detergent or other
suitable cleaning method. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and
allow to fully dry. All surfaces must be dry at time of application.
PREVIOUSLY COATED: Remove loose paint and rust with a
wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Clean
with soap and water, rinse and let dry. The Stops Rust Door
Paint is compatible with most coatings, but a test patch is
suggested.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any
surface, you may release lead paint 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 on to www.epa.gov/lead.
..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-
dispersed. If necessary, thin the material with xylene. Thin no
more than 5% by volume. Use a 6½” shed-resistant roller with a
⅜” nap or a high quality brush with flagged (split) ends. For best
results, use the roller to paint the entire door or paint the
recessed edges of raised panels and then use the roller for the
remaining flat surfaces.
One coat may be enough to fully cover both sides of the door.
For new and existing doors, we recommend painting the door off
the frame to allow the paint to dry completely before hanging. If
painting a hanging door, do not close the door until the paint is
fully dry to prevent it from sticking to the door frame.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F (21°C) and 50%
relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures
and higher humidity. Dries to touch in 1-2 hours, dries to
handle in 4-6 hours, and can be recoated within 1 hour or after
24 hours, and is fully dry in 24 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Clean brush and other tools with lacquer thinner or xylene.
COVERAGE
One quart of Rust-Oleum Door Paint will cover 2 coats on each
side of the door.
