Rust-oleum 315510 Dtm Acrylic Enamel 1 Gal Safety Orange

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 315510 is a water-based, direct-to-metal (DTM) acrylic enamel coating in Safety Orange gloss finish, part of the 3800 System line. This fast-drying formula goes on bare metal without a primer, delivering excellent corrosion resistance for surfaces exposed to mild to moderate environments indoors or outdoors. It dries in approximately 15 minutes and provides strong one-coat coverage. The coating applies with minimal brush drag and lays out evenly when rolled. Licensed contractors, industrial painters, and maintenance trades use this product on metal structures, equipment, and fabricated components.

This coating is suited for direct-to-metal applications on interior and exterior surfaces where corrosion protection and color coding are required. Safety Orange makes it appropriate for safety marking, equipment identification, and compliance applications. It meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it viable for food processing and commercial kitchen environments where metal surfaces require a durable, compliant finish.
