Rust-oleum 314593 Dtm Acrylic Enamel 1 Gal Deep Tint Gloss

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 314593 is a fast-drying, water-based direct-to-metal (DTM) acrylic enamel finish designed for indoor and outdoor metal surfaces. No primer is required — the coating bonds directly to bare metal with strong adhesion and excellent one-coat coverage. It delivers a gloss finish in a deep tint base and weighs 9.09 pounds per gallon unit. The formula provides corrosion resistance suitable for mild to moderate exposure environments and meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact, making it appropriate for food-processing and federally registered Canadian food facilities. Licensed coating applicators and maintenance painters are the typical installers for this product.

This coating is suited for metal surfaces in both residential and commercial settings where a durable, water-based finish is needed without a separate primer step. Typical applications include structural steel, equipment housings, metal doors, and other exposed metal components. It applies with minimal brush drag and lays out evenly when rolled. Application is recommended when ambient temperatures are between 50 and 100 degrees F and relative humidity is below 95 percent.

Key Features

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by a qualified coating applicator or maintenance painter familiar with surface preparation standards. Clean and degrease metal surfaces thoroughly before application to ensure proper adhesion. Apply only when surface and ambient temperatures are between 50 and 100 degrees F and relative humidity is below 95 percent. Avoid application over wet, frosted, or contaminated surfaces.
