Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245409 is a gloss alkyd enamel paint formulated for direct-to-metal application in both indoor and outdoor environments. It delivers a hard, durable finish in Machine Tool Gray, making it a go-to choice for industrial maintenance, equipment recoating, and facility upkeep. The 1,280 fl oz can size suits larger jobs where coverage efficiency matters. With a VOC content of 340 g/L and a coverage rate of 230 to 425 square feet per gallon, this coating is suited for professional applicators working on metal substrates, machinery, and structural steel components.

This paint is designed for use on metal surfaces in light industrial, commercial, and maintenance settings. Its direct-to-metal formulation eliminates the need for a separate primer on properly prepared surfaces, reducing labor time on equipment refinishing, machinery repaints, and facility maintenance projects. It performs across a working temperature range of 32 to 100 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of seasonal and controlled-environment applications.
