Rust-oleum 245380 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 1 Gal Brown Gloss

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245380 is a high-performance, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel in a 1-gallon container, formulated as a lower-VOC rust-preventative coating. Part of the V7400 System 340 VOC line, this enamel delivers a high-gloss brown finish with one-coat coverage. It dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours, making it a practical choice for maintenance painters, industrial coating applicators, and facilities teams working in moderate to slightly severe industrial environments. The formula carries a VOC content below 340 g/L, meeting compliance thresholds for many regulated job sites.

This coating is designed for direct application to metal substrates without a separate primer when conditions allow, though pairing it with a compatible V7400 System primer produces maximum adhesion and corrosion resistance. Typical applications include structural steel, equipment housings, railings, storage tanks, and other metal surfaces in industrial or commercial facilities. The formula meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food processing facilities, making it suitable for food-adjacent environments where other coatings may not comply.

Key Features

• High-gloss finish with one-coat coverage for efficient application
• Dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours under normal conditions
• Resists chipping, fading, and weathering for long-term exterior and interior durability
• Protects against mild chemical exposure in moderate to slightly severe industrial environments
• VOC content below 340 g/L for compliance with common air quality regulations
• Meets USDA incidental food contact requirements and accepted in federally registered Canadian food facilities

Compatibility

Formulated as part of the RUST-OLEUM V7400 System; for maximum performance, apply over a V7400 System primer. Suitable for use on prepared metal substrates in industrial and commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by qualified maintenance painters or industrial coating professionals familiar with surface preparation standards. Metal surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of rust, scale, grease, and loose paint before application. Follow all local VOC regulations and applicable safety codes when applying in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, and ensure adequate ventilation throughout the coating and drying process. Do not thin beyond manufacturer recommendations or apply outside recommended temperature and humidity ranges.
