Looking to paint metal? Look no further! If you are lost and unsure which metal paint is best for your project you are in the right place. In this article we go back to basics and discuss metal paints and the ranges available.
It’s essential to use specialised formulated paint for the right type of metal. What is it you are looking to paint? Does it rust? Is it galvanized? Is it a barbecue? Or is it something else entirely? Each type of metal substrate has different requirements and therefore different paints to withstand the circumstances.
Another question to ask yourself is how long you want your coating to last. Also ask yourself what exactly you are expecting the paint to do. Do you want the coating to last for years to come? Does the metal paint need to prevent rust? Do you just want to provide a decorative coating?
Heat Resistant Metal Paint – suitable for barbecues, fire pits, chimineas
Decorative Steel Coatings – for metal features, exposed metalwork, metal garden features and more
Street Furniture Painting – for example railings, metal benches and garden bistro sets
Whichever type you choose, you still need to do the correction preparation for it to last.
