Rust-oleum 255616 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint Safety Yellow 1 Gal

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 255616 is a ready-to-use, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for commercial applications. Part of the CV740 System 100 VOC line, it delivers a high-gloss finish in Safety Yellow while meeting 100 VOC compliance standards. The coating bonds directly to prepared metal surfaces without a separate primer step, though pairing it with the CV740 System Primer improves maximum performance. Licensed painters, commercial maintenance crews, and facilities technicians apply this product to metal trim, structural steel, handrails, and cabinets where a durable, easy-to-clean finish is required.

This coating is suited for everyday commercial maintenance environments including food-processing facilities, manufacturing plants, and industrial buildings. It meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities. The gallon unit is appropriate for mid-scale touch-up and full coating work on metal surfaces exposed to mild weathering, light abrasion, and chemical fumes.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — remove loose rust, mill scale, grease, and contaminants per the manufacturer system guidelines.

Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces during application and drying. Follow all applicable local and federal VOC regulations and safety requirements for coating application in commercial facilities.
