 Stops Rust

 Bright Coat Metallic Sprays are 
designed to provide a durable protective coating with 
excellent resistance to rust, and excellent resistance to 
abrasion, fading, chipping, and dulling. These sprays apply 
easily, provide excellent coverage and dry fast to a tough 
attractive finish. Aluminum is appropriate for outdoor metal 
surfaces when primed first. Gold, Chrome, and Bronze 
should be used indoors as they will tarnish if placed 
outdoors. These sprays feature a comfort tip with a wider 
finger pad to reduce fatigue caused by continuous spraying 
and the any-angle tip which allows you to spray at any angle.

PRODUCT APPLICATION 
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 70% to ensure proper drying.  Do 
not apply to surfaces that, when heated, exceed 200°F (93°C) 
or galvanized metal. Avoid spraying in very windy, dusty 
conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray 
mist. 
SURFACE PREPARATION 
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants 
by washing the surface with a commercial detergent, or other 
suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and allow to 
thoroughly dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire 
brush or sandpaper. Previously coated surfaces must be 
sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy 
finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface 
profile. 
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.

forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can 
the same distance from the surface. Keep the can in motion 
while spraying. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes 
apart to avoid drips and runs. Do not use near open flame.

humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to 
touch in 1 hour and primers may be top coated immediately.
