..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are
between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and humidity is below 85% to
ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces that will
exceed 200°F (93°C). Do not use on galvanized steel.
SURFACE PREPARATION
ALL SURFACES: Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and
chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a
commercial detergent or other suitable cleaning method.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. All
surfaces must be dry at time of application.
..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)
STEEL: Scrape and wire brush or power tool clean to
remove loose rust, scale and deteriorated previous
coatings. Use 7769 Rusty Metal Primer for sound rusted
or clean metal before application of a finish coat. 7780
White Clean Primer is best for clean metal but may be
used on sound rusted metal as well.
PREVIOUSLY COATED: 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. The Stops Rust Enamels are compatible with most
coatings, but a test patch is suggested.
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
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
Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment
is re-dispersed. If necessary, thin the material with
acetone. For brush or roller, thinning is not normally
required. For air spray, thin up to 15% with acetone. Do
not thin with gasoline, lacquer thinner, turpentine, etc. For
airless spray, thinning is not normally required. Apply with
a good quality brush, roller or spray gun.
Brush: Use light, even strokes Excessive brushing
reduces film thickness and protection.
Roller: A ⅜” nap roller should be used on rough surfaces.
Cover approximately one square yard at a time. Roll away
from previously coated area and work back to it for a
uniform appearance. Use a brush on crevices and sharp
edges.
Spray Gun: Follow spray gun directions carefully. Always
keep the gun ten to twelve inches from the surface and in
motion while spraying.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F (21°C) and 50%
relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures.
Dries to the touch in 2-4 hours, to handle in 5-9 hours and
is fully dry after 24 hours. Recoat after 24 hours. Do not
apply Clear Enamel over Stops Rust Bright Coat Finish or
Aluminum Finish.
CLEAN-UP
Clean brush and tools with mineral spirits.
