    Answer This Question

    A:  Thank you for reaching out, Susan. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel can be applied to interior metal surfaces that will not be exposed to high levels of moisture. After applying we recommend not using the fixture or shower until the paint has fully cured for at least 3 days. The direct light exposure or humidity of the shower could hinder the curing process and leave a tacky finish on the surface. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

                  A:  Thanks for reaching out, Scott. Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Paint is a solvent based alkyd coating that dries to a very hard film. Solvent based paints cannot be applied to plastic, they will not adhere, and since plastic can be flexible, the hard film may crack. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6
