Easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray equipment. Ideal for indoor or outdoor surfaces and will protect from hot tire pick up. For decorative purposes, apply our Color Flakes atop the final wet coat of DuraGrade Concrete then topcoat with DuraGrade Clear protective coating to seal the flakes in. For and ant-skid finish, simply add Tread-Tex into the coating which intended for that final coat.

We want you to experience optimum performance and enjoy the protective benefits of our coatings, so please follow our simple Application Guidelines prior to starting your project to set yourself up for success! Moisture-cured urethane coatings begin curing when exposed to air. Do not open the can until ready to use. All Rust Bullet coatings require a minimum of two coats. The surface to be coated must be completely dry, have a profile for adhesion, and the recoat time of approximately 2-6 hours must be followed. As soon as the previous coat is dry to the touch, you are ready for the next coat.

Approximate Coverage: 300-350 ft² per gallon, per coat
