HIGH HEAT PAINT
.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
High Heat is a tough protective enamel that renews
and protects surfaces subject to intermittent heat up to 2,000°F
(1093°C). This rust preventive formula is ideal for automotive parts.
High Heat Enamels features an advanced spray system that allows
you to spray at any angle, even upside down for those hard to reach
areas. A comfort spray tip with a wider finger pad reduces fatigue
caused by continuous spraying.

..PAINTING APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open
garage. Use when temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and
90°F (32°C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper
drying. Do not use on metal directly exposed to flames. Avoid
spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover
surrounding area to protect fr om 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. Rins e 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. W ARNING: If
you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead
dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. Contact the U.S.EPA/Lead Information
Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
PRIMING
Use of a Rust-Oleum
®
249340 High Heat Primer provides
added corrosion protection, superior adhesion and hiding and
is especially recommended for metal surfaces.
..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 8-12" from surface and spray in a steady back-and-
forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can in
motion while spraying. Apply 2 or more light coats a few
minutes apart to avoid runs and sags. Do not use near open
flame.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F and 50% relative
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to
touch in 30 minutes and dries to handle in 1-2 hours. You may
recoat anytime after 1 hour. Once dry, High Heat must be
further cured to increase durability. Allow paint to dry 1-2
hours before proceeding to the next steps below. Follow
directions accordingly. Items may emit smok e and harmless
odor at first.
ITEMS OFF THE VEHICLE
Bake at 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes and allow 30 minut es to
cool. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 30 minut es and allow 30
minutes to cool. Bake at 600°F (315°C) for 30 minutes and
then allow 30 minutes to cool. Caution: Be sure not to exceed
the heat tolerance of the least heat tolerant part.
ITEMS ON THE VEHICLE
Run the vehicle at idle for 10 minutes, then allow 20 minut es
to cool. Run vehicle at idle for 20 minutes, then let cool for 20
minutes. Run vehicle at normal operating conditions for 30
minutes, then allow vehicle to cool.
CLEAN-UP
Wipe off tip when finished. Clean-up wet paint with xylene or
mineral spirits. Properly discard empty container. Do not burn
or place in home trash compactor.
CLOGGING
