Rust-oleum 316519 Dtm Acrylic Enamel 5 Gal Deep Tint Gloss

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 316519 is a 5-gallon pail of 3800 System DTM Acrylic Enamel, a fast-dry, water-based finish engineered for direct-to-metal (DTM) applications indoors and outdoors. No primer is required — the coating bonds directly to bare metal surfaces and delivers a gloss finish in a Deep Tint Base. It dries in approximately 15 minutes, making it well-suited for commercial and industrial maintenance painting where downtime matters. The formula provides excellent corrosion resistance against mild to moderate environmental exposure. This product is installed by commercial painters, maintenance technicians, and facilities crews working on metal structures, equipment housings, and fabricated steel.

The 316519 is designed for use on metal surfaces in industrial, commercial, and institutional settings where a durable, water-based topcoat is required without a separate primer step. Common applications include structural steel, machinery, piping, railings, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates exposed to everyday weathering. The gloss Deep Tint Base is intended for custom color mixing. The coating meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it appropriate for food processing and commercial kitchen environments.
