.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
Plastic Primer Spray is designed to prepare
plastic surfaces to be topcoated with any Rust-Oleum
color or finish. These sprays are ideal for use on
polypropylene, polystyrene, resin, PVC, fiberglass, and
vinyl plastics such as chairs, tables, and planters. Some
plastics made of polyethylene such as Little Tikes®
children’s products are manufactured in a way that may
hinder maximum paint adhesion. Test this product in an
inconspicuous area to test for compatibility on the surface.

. APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open
garage. Use when temperatures are between 50-90ºF (10-
32ºC) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying.
Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover
surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
For new plastic surfaces, thoroughly wipe down surface
with paint thinner to promote adhesion. For aged or
weathered surfaces, remove loose material with a brush or
scraper, clean with soap and water, rinse and let dry.
Sanding may be required for glossy or smooth surfaces. If
mildew is present, wash with a bleach solution, rinse and
let dry.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO
LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS SUCH AS
BRAIN DAMGE, 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
U.S.EPA/Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or
log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Shake can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball
begins to rattle. If mixing ball fails to rattle DO NOT
STRIKE CAN. Contact Rust-Oleum. Shake often during
use. Hold can upright 10-16” from surface and spray in a
steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each
stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface
and in motion while spraying. For best adhesion, apply
one THIN coat instead of one heavy coat or multiple coats.
Do not use near open flame.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF and 50% relative
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to
touch in 20-30 minutes, to handle in 1 hour and fully dry in
24 hours. Apply any Rust-Oleum oil-based finish coat after
1 hour. Apply any latex topcoat after 4 hours. Maximum
adhesion is achieved in 5-7 days.
CLEAN-UP
When finished spraying, clear spray valve by turning the
can upside down and pushing the nozzle for 5 seconds.
Clean-up wet paint with xylene or mineral spirits. Properly
discard empty container. Do not burn or place in home
trash compactor.
CLOGGING
If the valve clogs, twist and pull off spray tip and rinse in a
solvent such as mineral spirits. Do not insert any object
into can valve opening.
