Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile Spray White 12 oz

Refinishing a tub, sink or tile surround starts long before you spray. Rust-Oleum Specialty Tub & Tile Aerosol in White (Rust-Oleum 280882) is a one-step acrylic epoxy that dries to a smooth, glossy, waterproof finish, and Rust-Oleum says careful cleaning and surface prep are critical to how long it lasts. This 12 oz can covers about 10-15 sq ft.

How to use it

1. Remove metal drains and hardware, and remove loose paint.
2. Treat any mildew with a bleach and water solution and rinse well.
3. Scrub with an abrasive pad and an abrasive cleaner to remove dirt, grease, soap film and hard water deposits. Remove all caulk and wipe those areas with a non-oily solvent such as isopropyl alcohol.
4. Scrub with an abrasive pad and a lime-scale cleaner such as Lime-A-Way, let it stand 5 minutes, scrub again and rinse.
5. Sand the whole surface with #400/#600 wet/dry sandpaper, rinse off all residue and let it dry at least 90 minutes. Wipe with a tack cloth right before painting.
6. Open windows or run fans. Shake the can for one minute after the mixing ball rattles, hold it 10-16 in from the surface and apply 2-3 light coats, spraying horizontally and then vertically.

Always test in a small, hidden area first. Shop more Rust-Oleum, spray paint and prep and patch supplies.

Questions

How many cans do I need? Rust-Oleum rates one 12 oz can at about 10-15 sq ft. Measure the area you are refinishing, divide by that rate, and plan for 2-3 light coats.

When can I use the tub or shower again? It dries to the touch in 15 minutes and handles in 1 hour, but Rust-Oleum lists a full cure of 3 days, so wait the full 3 days before regular use.

Can I spray the drain or faucet? No. The data sheet says it is not for galvanized metal or other metal surfaces, so remove metal drains and hardware first.
