Questions and Answers for Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 32 oz. Ultra Cover Semi-Gloss White General Purpose Paint

A:  Thank you for reaching out, Carol. While Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Clear Coat can be applied to metal surfaces, it cannot be applied to galvanized metal or other metals with a zinc finish. We would recommend first priming using Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Universal Bonding Primer as it provides superior adhesion to zinc coated surfaces as well as prevents rusting and oxidation. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-12-oz-Universal-Bonding-Primer-Spray-6-Pack-285011/205926957 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

A:  Thank you for reaching out, Jeffery. While Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover General Purpose Paint can be applied to metal surfaces, we do not recommend applying to surfaces that will exceed 200° F. The surface exceeding this temperature will cause the paint to blister and peel. Instead, we would recommend using our Rust-Oleum Specialty High Heat Paint as it can withstand temperatures up to 1200° F. Please note our high heat paint cannot be applied to surfaces that will come in direct contact with a flame. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Specialty-1-qt-High-Heat-Flat-Bar-B-Que-Black-Enamel-Interior-Exterior-Paint-7778502/100645381 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
