Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 255617 is a ready-to-use, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel primer formulated for commercial coating applications. It delivers excellent coverage and hide on bare metal surfaces without requiring a separate primer coat in standard use. The formula is engineered to meet 100 VOC compliance requirements, making it suitable for facilities with air quality restrictions. Weighing 9.09 pounds per gallon unit, it can be applied by brush, roller, or spray, giving installers and maintenance crews flexible application options on a wide range of commercial metal substrates.

This coating is designed for everyday commercial use on metal surfaces including trim, structural steel, handrails, and cabinets. It resists rust, chipping, general weathering, mild chemical fumes, and light abrasion. The flat white finish is appropriate as a primer coat within the CV740 System, and the product meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact. It is also accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it a practical choice for food-service and processing environments.
