Krylon K00791008 Rust Preventative Paint Gloss Black 1 Gal

Product Description

The KRYLON K00791008 is a gloss black, alkyd-based rust preventative paint formulated for direct-to-metal application on industrial and commercial surfaces. Packaged in a 1-gallon pail, it covers 361 to 369 square feet per gallon and dries fully in 8 hours. The alkyd composition bonds directly to bare metal without a separate primer coat, making it a practical choice for maintenance painters, industrial contractors, and facility technicians who need a durable, corrosion-resistant finish on structural and mechanical components. Application temperature range runs from 40 degrees F minimum to 120 degrees F maximum.

This coating is rated for both interior and exterior use and is suited to structural steel, storage tanks, conveyors, ladders, bar joists, fencing, handrails, machinery, piping, metal doors, pipe racks, shelving, safety markings, and marine above-the-boot-topping applications. It also adheres to wood and metal substrates beyond bare steel, broadening its utility on mixed-material assemblies. Industrial maintenance crews and painting contractors will find it applicable across a wide range of facility and equipment touch-up and full-coat projects.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — remove loose rust, mill scale, oil, and contaminants per standard SSPC surface prep guidelines. Apply with brush, roller, or conventional spray equipment appropriate for alkyd coatings. Do not apply below 40 degrees F or above 120 degrees F, and avoid application in high humidity or direct moisture conditions. Allow full 8-hour dry time before handling or recoating.
