Rust-oleum 255611 CV740 Dtm Alkyd Enamel 1 Gallon Black

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 255611 is a ready-to-use, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for commercial and industrial applications. Part of the CV740 System 100 VOC line, this product delivers a high-gloss, black finish with strong adhesion to bare and previously painted metal surfaces. The low-VOC formula requires no measuring or mixing and can be applied by brush, roller, or spray. It is designed to protect metal from rust, chipping, mild chemical fumes, light abrasion, and general weathering. Licensed contractors and facility maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This coating is suited for everyday commercial use on metal trim, structural steel, handrails, lockers, cabinets, and similar surfaces. The formula meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food processing facilities, making it a fit for food-service and processing environments in addition to general industrial settings. It is intended for use in the CV740 System alongside the compatible CV740 System Primer for maximum adhesion and performance.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — remove loose rust, mill scale, grease, and dirt per standard commercial coating practices.

Follow local VOC regulations and ventilation requirements, and consult the product safety data sheet for respiratory protection guidance.
