Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 975402 is a solvent-based alkyd enamel paint formulated for rust-preventative protection on steel and metal surfaces. It delivers a gloss finish in Navy Gray and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Coverage ranges from 255 to 435 square feet per gallon depending on surface porosity and application method. With a tack-free dry time of 4 hours and a full dry time of 7 hours, this enamel is well-suited for maintenance painting tasks where controlled downtime matters. VOC content is 450 g/L. Licensed painters, maintenance crews, and industrial coating contractors are the primary installers.

This paint is designed for use on steel substrates in a range of environments, making it a practical choice for equipment maintenance, structural steel touch-up, and general metal finishing in both commercial and light industrial settings. It performs across a working temperature range of 32 degrees F to 100 degrees F. The 1-gallon can format is suited for targeted maintenance jobs and spot applications rather than large-scale production coating work.

Surface preparation is critical — remove loose rust, mill scale, oil, and contaminants before application. Apply with brush, roller, or spray equipment appropriate for solvent-based coatings. Ensure adequate ventilation when working indoors, and observe all local VOC regulations and safety requirements for solvent-based products. Allow the full 24-hour recoat window before applying additional coats.
