Application and Aerosol Safety
Sweep away loose contaminants before application. Shake the can for one minute after the mixing ball is heard, invert it, and hold it 4 to 10 inches above the surface. Keep the can moving to prevent buildup and protect nearby property because overspray can travel a significant distance.
Read and follow the current product label and Safety Data Sheet for ventilation, ignition control, personal protective equipment, storage, transport, cleanup, and disposal. Marking paint identifies a location; it does not locate underground utilities or replace required 811/One Call procedures, site plans, or other project controls.
Select the Color Required by the Project
Do not choose a marking color by visibility alone. Utility owners, contractors, and project specifications may assign colors to particular services or work stages. Confirm the required color and exact Rust-Oleum manufacturer part number before ordering, especially when distinguishing standard, safety, alert, APWA, and fluorescent shades.
