Rust-oleum 245406 Alkyd Enamel Paint High-gloss White

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245406 is a high-gloss alkyd enamel paint formulated for durable, hard-wearing finishes on both interior and exterior surfaces. Supplied in a 1,280 fl oz can, this enamel delivers a coverage rate of 230 to 425 square feet per gallon depending on surface porosity and application method. With a VOC content of 340 g/L, it is suited for professional trade applications where a tough, gloss finish is required. The paint bonds directly to metal without a separate primer coat in many applications, making it a practical choice for HVAC equipment housings, mechanical room components, structural steel, and similar trade surfaces. Licensed contractors and maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This alkyd enamel is rated for both indoor and outdoor use, with an approved working temperature range of 32 degrees F to 100 degrees F. It is well suited for direct-to-metal applications in commercial and residential settings, including equipment enclosures, piping, ductwork exteriors, conduit, and other metal substrates common in mechanical and electrical trades. The high-gloss finish resists moisture and provides a cleanable surface that holds up under regular maintenance cycles.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — remove loose paint, rust, grease, and contaminants before application. Apply within the approved temperature window of 32 degrees F to 100 degrees F and avoid application in high-humidity conditions that can affect cure. Allow the full 24-hour recoat window before applying additional coats. Follow local VOC regulations before use, as the 340 g/L VOC content may restrict application in certain jurisdictions.
