Rust-oleum 245485 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 5 Gal Silver Gray

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245485 is a 5-gallon container of V7400 System 340 VOC DTM Alkyd Enamel in Silver Gray with a high-gloss finish. This direct-to-metal coating delivers corrosion resistance and one-coat coverage without requiring a separate primer on clean, prepared metal surfaces. It dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours and carries a two-year rust-proof guarantee. The lower-VOC formulation (under 340 g/L) makes it suitable for industrial facilities with air-quality compliance requirements. Licensed painting contractors and industrial maintenance crews are the primary installers of this product.

This coating is designed for moderate to slightly severe industrial environments where metal surfaces face exposure to weathering, mild chemicals, and corrosion risk. Typical applications include structural steel, equipment housings, racks, frames, and other ferrous metal substrates in manufacturing, processing, and maintenance settings. It meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it a practical choice for food and beverage plant maintenance work.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — remove rust, mill scale, grease, and loose material before application.
