About Paint and Protective Coatings

Low-Odor Epoxy Coatings
These coatings are used in enclosed, high-traffic spaces. Thicker than polyurethane and paint, they protect against abrasion and resist moisture and chemicals. Coatings may chalk with exposure to sunlight. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
Safety-color coatings come in colors approved by OSHA to color-code safety equipment locations, physical hazards, and protective equipment. Safety red indicates danger and is often used on fire protection equipment, containers for flammable liquid, and switches on machinery.

Paint for Metal
Paint metal surfaces to stop rust from starting and prevent existing rust from spreading. Scrape rusty areas clean before application. Although primer is not required for use on all materials, it can be used to prepare any surface to maximize the life and corrosion resistance of paint.
Acrylic paint is water-based and can be cleaned up with soap and water. It’s also known as latex paint. Paint with a 7-day overall dry time resists weather and mild chemicals once fully dry.
Apply paint in a one-gallon can with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
Safety-color paint comes in colors approved by OSHA to color-code safety equipment locations, physical hazards, and protective equipment. Safety red indicates danger and is often used on fire protection equipment, containers for flammable liquid, and switches on machinery.
