PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open
garage. Use when temperature is between 50ºF (10ºC) and
90ºF (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 PREP ARA TION
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, c lean
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 dr y .

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 and not a
heavy coat or multiple coats. Do not use near open flame.
