 first. For 
repainting a painted door, remove any loose paint and rust 
with sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Clean surface 
with soap and water, rinse and let dry. Paint a small test 
area in the corner. 
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.) 
PAINTING CONDITIONS 
Do not apply to surfaces that will exceed 200ºF (93ºC). Use 
when the temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F 
(32°C) and humidity is below 75% to ensure proper drying. 
For best results, do not apply in direct sunlight and avoid 
applying in high temperatures. 
PROTECT FROM 
FREEZING 
APPLICATION 
Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is 
re-dispersed. Thinning should not be necessary. If thinning 
is desired, use up to 5% of water. Recommend application 
with a 6-1/2" shed resistant roller with a 3/8" nap or a 
premium quality 2” or 2-1/2” angled sash, 100% nylon or 
nylon/polyester blend brush. Depending on desired final 
appearance, a high-density foam roller can also be used. 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. Two coats may be required to develop full 
color and uniformity. 
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 45 minutes, to handle 
in 4-6 hours, and can be recoated within 1 hour and is fully 
dry in 6 hours.  
CLEAN-UP 
Clean brush and other tools with soap and water. 
COVERAGE 
One quart of Rust-Oleum Door & Trim Paint will cover 2 
coats on each side of the door.
