Rust-oleum 245444 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 5 Gal Navy Gray

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245444 is a 5-gallon pail of V7400 System 340 VOC Direct-to-Metal (DTM) Alkyd Enamel in Navy Gray with a gloss finish. This coating delivers rust-preventative protection without the need for a separate primer coat on properly prepared metal surfaces. It dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours and provides one-coat coverage in most applications. With a VOC content below 340 g/L, it meets lower-VOC formulation requirements. Industrial painters, maintenance crews, and coating contractors use this product where durable, corrosion-resistant protection is required on metal substrates.

This enamel is suited for moderate to slightly severe industrial environments. It resists chipping, fading, and weathering, making it a practical choice for structural steel, equipment housings, tanks, and general metal fabrication. The formulation meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food processing facilities, which broadens its application scope for food-service and processing plant maintenance work.

Key Features

• Direct-to-metal formulation — no separate primer required on prepared surfaces
• High-gloss finish with one-coat coverage in most applications
• Dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours

Compatibility

Designed for use on direct-to-metal applications; for maximum corrosion performance, the manufacturer recommends starting with a V7400 System primer. Best results are achieved over clean, properly prepared metal substrates.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — remove loose rust, mill scale, grease, and contaminants before application. Apply using brush, roller, or conventional spray equipment appropriate for alkyd enamels. Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces per applicable safety and environmental regulations. Allow full cure before placing coated surfaces back into service or exposing them to chemical contact.
