Warning!
Removing existing paint from surfaces by means of sanding, scraping, or other mechanical means may create dust or particles containing lead. Avoid creating dust or other debris. BREATHING OR EATING LEAD-CONTAINING DUST OR DEBRIS CAN CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN.

Special properties
Guardcoat enamels stop rust formation and have excellent weather resistance. They provide excellent gloss and toughness, and can be used effectively on interior as well as exterior metal and wood. Hundreds of custom colors are available in our tint bases.

Where to use
Guardcoat enamels are truly all purpose in their application. At home for both interior and exterior uses, Guardcoats are equally adaptable in homes and in commercial/industrial settings. No. 472 Flat Black has even been formulated for use on wrought iron and other surfaces requiring no light reflectance.

Surface preparation
Surfaces to be painted must be clean, smooth and free of dirt, dust, mildew, grease, flaking and chipping paint, and other surface contamination. Cracks, seams, holes and nail holes should be filled with putty or caulking compound and allowed to dry. Slick or glossy surfaces should be dulled by sanding. All bare wood, metal and other surfaces should be coated with an appropriate primer before applying Guardcoat.

Application
Apply only when the air temperature and that of the surface to be painted are above 45 degrees F. For best results, do not apply in direct sunlight. Avoid painting late in the day when dew or condensation are likely to form or when rain is threatening. Stir thoroughly before using.
