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.

PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open
garage. Apply when temperature is between 50- 90°F (10-
32°C) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying.
Do not apply to surfaces, when heated, exceed 200°F
(93°C). Avoid spraying in very windy and 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

carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you
