Applications
- Mixing: Stir thoroughly, making sure no pigment remains on the bottom of the can.
- Thinning: Thin with water only if necessary.
- Application Considerations: Spray recommended. Do not apply when overnight freeze, rain or dew is forecast. NOTE: During conditions of high humidity or moist air, allow for a much longer cure time. Warm air, moving over the substrate, will promote drying and improve cure time when less than optimum application conditions exist. On a derusted surface the application of a dry film thickness of at least 2 mils is recommended.
- Theoretical Coverage: 572 ft2 /gallon at 1 mil dry, assuming no application losses. Coverage will vary depending on color, the surface texture and application technique.
Cleanup
Use soap and water.
Where to Use
For use on equipment, machinery and metal structures.
Preparation & Priming
- Surface Preparation: Apply only over clean, dry and properly cured surfaces that are free from form release agents, cutting oils, dirt, grease, loose foreign matter and frost. The substrate shall be thoroughly degreased in accordance with SSPC-SP1 standards. All burrs should be removed and sharp edges or rough weld seams should be ground down. All rust and mill scale should be removed as required by SSPC-SP6 surface preparation (minimum).
- Primer Coats: For maximum performance use Anchor #2700 Series Waterborne Acrylic Primers or #B7911 Gray High Solids Alkyd Primer. For deep and accent bases, a primer is required to achieve maximum durability, adhesion and corrosion properties. However, some situations may allow for this product to act as a direct-tometal coating.

Safety & Health
- Safety Information
- Vapor harmful. Contains: dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether. Vapor harmful. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Causes eye irritation. Harmful if swallowed.
- Keep away from heat and flame. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross-ventilation. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headache or dizziness or if air monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist levels are above applicable limits, wear an appropriate, properly fitted respirator (niosh approved) during and after application. Follow respirator manufacturer’s directions for respirator use. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep out of reach of children.
- If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. Lead is toxic. Exposure to lead dust can cause serious illness, such as brain damage, especially in children. Pregnant women should also avoid exposure. Wear a niosh-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a hepa vacuum and a wet mop.
