Paint for Metal


Aerosol Can	Can

Paint metal surfaces to stop rust from starting and prevent existing rust from spreading. Scrape rusty areas clean before application. Although primer is not required for use on all materials, it can be used to prepare any surface to maximize the life and corrosion resistance of paint.

Aerosol Can—Paint in an aerosol can does not require a primer.

1 gal. Container—Apply paint in a one-gallon can with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

7 day Overall Dry Time—Paint with a 7-day overall dry time resists weather and mild chemicals once fully dry.

Safety Yellow—Safety yellow indicates caution and is often used on tripping hazards, exposed edges, and start buttons. Safety-color paint colors are approved by OSHA to color-code safety equipment locations, physical hazards, and protective equipment.

Cannot Be Sold To—Paint that cannot be sold to the listed areas exceed local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).
