Rust-oleum 314388 Dtm Acrylic Enamel 1 Gal Navy Gray Gloss

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 314388 is a water-based, direct-to-metal (DTM) acrylic enamel coating in Navy Gray gloss finish, sold in a 1-gallon unit. It bonds directly to bare metal without a primer, delivering excellent corrosion resistance in mild to moderate exposure environments. With a 15-minute dry time and smooth rollout, it suits high-throughput field or shop applications. At 9.09 pounds per unit, it is sized for standard brush, roller, or spray application by coatings professionals and maintenance trades on indoor and outdoor metal surfaces.

This coating is suited for industrial maintenance, commercial facilities, and institutional environments where metal surfaces need durable protection without the extra step of priming. It performs indoors and outdoors, covering structural steel, equipment housings, ductwork, railings, and similar metal substrates. The gloss finish sheds dirt and moisture, making it a practical choice for food-processing facilities and federally registered Canadian food facilities, where it meets USDA incidental food contact requirements.
