Rust-oleum 245309 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 1 Gal Aluminum

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245309 is a high-performance, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for industrial and commercial applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Part of the V7400 System 340 VOC line, this gallon-sized product delivers a high-gloss aluminum finish with one-coat coverage and dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours. With a VOC level below 340 g/L, it meets lower-emission requirements without sacrificing protection. Licensed coating applicators, maintenance painters, and industrial facility crews are the primary installers of this product.

This enamel is suited for moderate to slightly severe industrial environments where surfaces face corrosion, mild chemical exposure, chipping, fading, and weathering. It applies directly to metal substrates without a separate primer, though pairing it with a V7400 System primer is recommended for maximum performance. Typical applications include structural steel, equipment housings, pipe, and other ferrous metal surfaces in manufacturing, food processing, and maintenance painting scenarios.
