Setup
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface to be striped is clean, dry, and free of loose debris, oil, or grease.
- Shake Can: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Continue to shake occasionally during use.
- Insert into Striping Machine (Recommended): For straight, consistent 2-4 inch lines, insert the inverted striping paint can into a compatible striping machine, such as the Rust-Oleum Striping Machine #2395000. Ensure the can is securely seated.
- Test Spray: Before applying to the desired surface, perform a test spray on a scrap piece of material to ensure proper spray pattern and color.

Operating Instructions
This paint is designed for inverted spraying. If not using a striping machine, ensure the can is held upside down during application.
- Positioning: Position the striping machine (or hold the can inverted) at the desired starting point for your line.
- Application: Depress the spray nozzle or activate the trigger on the striping machine. Move at a steady, consistent pace to ensure an even coat. Overlapping slightly on subsequent passes can help achieve a uniform line.
- Line Width: The paint is designed to create 2-inch wide stripes. The Rust-Oleum Striping Machine #2395000 can adjust for 2-4 inch lines.
- Drying Time: Allow adequate drying time between coats if multiple coats are desired. Refer to the product label for specific recoat times.
- Coverage: Each 18 oz can covers approximately 300 linear feet for a 2-inch stripe.
Maintenance and Storage
- Clear Nozzle: After each use, invert the can and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the nozzle. This prevents clogging for future use.
- Storage: Store cans in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Do not store at temperatures above 120°F (49°C).
- Disposal: Dispose of empty cans and any unused paint in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. Do not puncture or incinerate cans.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
