AEROSOL SPRAY
Step 1
Shake can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Remember to shake often during use. Hold can upright 10-12” from surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Continue to keep the can in motion while spraying.
Step 2
For hard to reach areas, the convenient aerosol can spray upside down to hit the lip on the underside of the truck bed sidewall.
Step 3
For best results, apply 2 coats, allowing 1-2 minutes between coats. Remove any overspray from the auto finish immediately.
Step 4
Allow 72 hours for full cure before placing objects in the truck bed.
ROLLING
Step 1
Mix thoroughly to help ensure any settled pigment is dispersed. Do not thin or tint. Apply with a high quality solvent resistant foam roller or the Rust-Oleum Truck Bed Applicator Kit
Step 2
Roll out coating evenly across the surface. A paint roller extension pole may make the job easier. First coat will be dry to touch in 1-2 hours.
Step 3
Apply the second coat after 2 hours. For maximum durability, apply 3-4 coats at the recommended coverage rate 140-160 sq.ft/gal.
Step 4
Minimum dry time of 24 hours should be allowed before placing objects in the truck bed or other areas where the Truck Bed Coating has been applied.
PAINT SPRAYER
Step 1
Read and follow all sprayer manufacturer’s safety and operating instructions before using. Stir coating thoroughly before pouring into the container. Remember do not thin the coating to improve spray performance.
Step 2
Adjust the various control options on the sprayer to achieve preferred spray performance.
Step 3
Before spraying, apply the spray pattern to a test surface. Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and allow to dry before applying a second slightly heavier coat. The first light coat provides a base for better adhesion so the paint does not run off the smooth surface or sag.
Step 4
Remember to spray parallel to the surface at the recommended distance with smooth passes at a steady speed starting and ending your spray pattern for each pass off of the surface you are coating. When spraying larger surfaces, overlap each pass by at least 50% to help ensure consistent coverage. For maximum durability, apply 2-3 coats at the recommended coverage rate.
Step 5
To prevent build up and dripping, wipe the tip of the spray gun periodically between passes.
Step 6
Minimum dry time of 24 hours should be allowed before placing objects in the truck bed or other areas where the Truck Bed Coating has been applied.
