Rust-oleum 255619 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 1 Gallon Pastel Tint Base

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 255619 is a ready-to-use, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel designed for commercial coating applications. This 1-gallon, pastel tint base formula delivers a high-gloss finish with strong resistance to rust, chipping, general weathering, mild chemical fumes, and light abrasion. It requires no measuring or mixing before application and can be applied by brush, roller, or sprayer. The coating meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it a practical choice for facilities with sanitation compliance requirements. Licensed painters, maintenance contractors, and commercial facility technicians are the typical installers.

This DTM enamel is formulated for everyday commercial use on metal surfaces including metal trim, structural steel, handrails, and cabinets. The pastel tint base variant allows tinting to a wide range of light colors, making it suitable for facilities that require color-matched finishes. Its low-VOC formula supports use in occupied or semi-occupied commercial environments where air quality standards are a concern. The gloss finish is easy to clean and maintain, which is a practical advantage in high-traffic or industrial settings.
