Paints for Metal Surfaces
In case of painting metals, selection of the right type of paint and preparation of the surface is very vital to the durability of the paint job.
- Machinery: High quality urethane is usually used for machinery painting due to its good adherence quality and long lasting durability. Epoxy is also used if a touch of sheen is required. In certain cases where there is extreme exposure to heat, open flame or moisture, additives are used to make the coat more resistant. The coat can also be made resistant to harsh chemical exposure. In any case, these two paint options are preferred by commercial painters for machinery surfaces as compared to normal paints.
- Pipes and ceilings: Some commercial spaces have open ceilings with pipes and wiring that are not visually pleasing. For these spaces, commercial painters can help the ceiling look better. Usually, for these paint jobs an acrylic paint is suggested. For dry wall that can be sprayed upward for a uniform finish covering both the ceiling part as well any pipes and wiring. These paints have mild moisture resistance properties that make them suitable for surfaces like PVC, metal and wood.
