Which Paint Is Suitable for Metal?

Metal coating is normally a system rather than a single decorative product. Surface preparation, corrosion condition, primer compatibility, intermediate protection and topcoat requirements should be considered together.

Typical decision sequence

Identify the metal → remove loose rust/contamination → prepare the surface → select a compatible primer → select the appropriate topcoat → follow the manufacturer’s application and recoat instructions.

Why does paint peel from metal?

Possible contributors include poor surface preparation, contamination, incompatible coats, inadequate drying/curing or unsuitable application conditions. Use the Paint Intelligence Centre for defect diagnosis.
