PRODUCT APPLICATION 
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE 
STARTING PROJECT 
Whether over bare or previously coated concrete, proper 
surface preparation is critical to performance. Allow new 
concrete to cure for a minimum of 28 days. Before coating, if 
necessary, use a wire brush or sander to remove any loose 
or unsound concrete or masonry. Remove grease, oil, salt 
and other contaminants with Rust-Oleum Heavy-Duty 
Degreaser or Rust-Oleum Cleaner & Degreaser (sold 
separately). Scrub spots thoroughly with a stiff bristle brush 
or broom and wipe up excess cleaner with rags or paper 
towels to keep contaminates from spreading. Rinse 
thoroughly with fresh water. Repeat as necessary until 
completely clean. 
Bare Concrete Surfaces: For proper penetration and 
maximum adhesion, use Rust-Oleum Concrete Etch or 
Rust-Oleum Clean & Etch (sold separately). Follow label 
instructions carefully and allow the floor to dry completely. 
Wipe your fingers over the clean, dry surface. If you see any 
dust or powder on your fingers, repeat scrubbing and rinsing 
until the floor is clean. 
Previously Painted, Stained or Sealed Concrete 
Surfaces:  Use a wire brush to remove any loose or peeling 
paint, stain or sealer. To ensure proper adhesion, scuff sand 
the entire surface and clean with a solvent such as acetone.

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 
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. 
APPLICATION 
Rust-Oleum Clear Finish Floor Topcoat is ready to use. Do 
not thin. Apply only when air (ambient) temperature is 
between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC) and the relative humidity is below 
85%. Do not paint outdoors if rain is expected within 48 hours. 
If using more than one gallon, intermix (box) all cans of the 
same product to ensure gloss uniformity. Stir thoroughly 
before applying. NOTE: Painted floors may be slippery when 
wet. If desired, mix in Rust-Oleum Anti-Skid Additive (sold 
separately). 
Use a brush or edger to trim the perimeter and hard-to-reach 
areas. Use a long handled extension pole and a high quality 
⅜” nap roller cover to apply an even coat of Rust-Oleum 
Finish Floor Topcoat onto the surface. Apply in 4’x4’ foot 
sections and maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks and 
gloss differences. Continue applying in 4’x4’ sections until 
complete. Only one coat is necessary. If a second coat is 
desired, wait 4 hours before applying the second coat in a 
direction perpendicular to the first. Occasional touch-up may 
be necessary for areas subject to heavy vehicle traffic. 
DRY & RECOAT TIMES 
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF and 50% relative 
humidity. Dry times increase at cooler temperatures. The 
surface should be ready for light foot traffic in 24 hours. FOR 
FULL CURE AND VEHICLE TRAFFIC, ALLOW 5 DAYS. 
CLEAN-UP 
Wash tools and equipment with warm water and a mild 
detergent immediately after use. Properly dispose of all soiled 
rags and protect unused product from freezing. 
COVERAGE 
Each gallon contains enough material to cover approximately 
150-250 square feet over bare concrete and 300-400 square 
feet over coated concrete. Additional product may be required 
depending on surface conditions.
