Overview
Built for the job.
A fast drying lacquer-based spray paint that provides durable indoor and outdoor protection. Resistant to the effects of weather and many chemicals. Resists abrasion and heat (250 deg F). Bare surfaces or rusted metal surfaces should first be primed with our Spruce® primers to ensure proper adhesion.
SEYMOUR® Spruce® 98-31 is a fast-drying clear acrylic lacquer spray designed for auto body finish work where rapid recoat cycles are required. Packaged in a 16 fl-oz aerosol can, it provides up to 15 sq ft of coverage per coat on compatible substrates such as aluminum, e-coat, primer and wood.
Recoat time is listed at 20 minutes when applied within the recommended temperature range of 50-90 °F, enabling efficient workflow in shop environments. The formulation offers a two-year shelf life under proper storage conditions, ensuring consistent performance over multiple projects.
Because the product is classified as flammable, carcinogenic and an aquatic toxin, use must include eye protection, chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing and a suitable respirator. Apply in a well-ventilated area and observe all H-statements (H222, H280, H315, H319, H336, H351, H361, H373) for safe handling.
