The RUST-OLEUM 975402 is a direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for high-performance rust prevention on bare and previously painted metal surfaces. Part of the 7400 System line, this 1-gallon, gloss-finish paint delivers a high-solids film that resists corrosion, chipping, fading, and weathering. It dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours and provides one-coat coverage under typical conditions. The 450 VOC formula meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it suitable for a range of regulated environments. It is applied by painting or maintenance contractors working in industrial and commercial settings.
This coating is intended for moderate to slightly severe industrial environments where corrosion protection is a priority. The Navy Gray gloss finish suits structural steel, equipment housings, railings, frames, and similar metal substrates exposed to weather or mild chemical contact. It pairs directly with 7400 System primers, including the Heavy Duty Rust Inhibitive Primer, Fast Recoat Primer, and Red Damp Proof Primer, for a complete system approach to metal protection in commercial and industrial maintenance applications.
Designed for use with 7400 System Heavy Duty Rust Inhibitive Primers, 7400 System Fast Recoat Primer, and 7400 System Red Damp Proof Primer as part of a complete direct-to-metal coating system.
Surface preparation is critical before application — remove loose rust, mill scale, grease, and contaminants per standard SSPC surface prep guidelines. Apply in ambient conditions that allow proper film formation and avoid application in high humidity or near-freezing temperatures. Allow adequate dry time between coats when a primer system is used. Follow all applicable local VOC regulations before use in your jurisdiction.
