Rust-oleum 255609 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 1 Gallon Black Flat

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 255609 is a ready-to-use, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for commercial applications. It delivers excellent coverage and hide on bare metal surfaces without requiring a separate primer coat, though use with the CV740 System Primer is recommended for maximum performance. The flat black finish is designed for easy maintenance in demanding commercial environments. This coating meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it suitable for food-processing and institutional settings.

This coating is intended for everyday commercial use on metal trim, structural steel, handrails, and cabinets. It resists rust, chipping, general weathering, mild chemical fumes, and light abrasion. The ready-to-use formula requires no measuring or mixing and can be applied by brush, roller, or spray equipment, reducing labor time on the job. It is well suited for maintenance painters, industrial contractors, and facilities crews working on metal surfaces in commercial or light industrial settings.
