1. Armor Poxy Metal and Steel Industrial Coating for Aluminum Finish
The Armor Metal and Steel Industrial Coating for Aluminum Finish is a high performance, one component, moisture cured polyurethane coating designed to provide exceptional protection for steel and metal surfaces in outdoor environment. This coating is well created to work as a primer and can be used as standalone coating in commercial setting. With durable aluminum finish, this coating is ideal for rusty projects or where the surface is marginalized by integrity like abrasion or corrosion. For optimal protection, many businesses in commercial sector utilize this coating.
Step 1: Prepare Your Surface
Preparation is the most important step in any coating project. Even the best coating won’t perform properly if the surface isn’t clean or smooth. Here’s how to prepare:
- Clean the surface – Remove dust, dirt, oil, and grease using a degreaser or solvent cleaner.
- Remove rust and old paint – Use a wire brush, sandpaper, or grinder to eliminate rust and peeling paint.
- Rinse thoroughly – Wipe down with a clean, dry cloth or rinse and allow to dry completely.
- Smooth the surface – For best adhesion, lightly sand shiny areas to create a slight texture.
- Apply primer (optional but recommended) – Use a metal primer compatible with aluminum finish coatings for extra bonding strength and corrosion protection.
- A well-prepped surface ensures better adhesion and a smoother, more professional finish
Step 2: Gather the Right Tools and Materials
To make your DIY project easier and cleaner, prepare all materials before you start. You’ll need:
- Aluminum finish coating (such as ArmorPoxy Aluminum Finish Coating)
- Mixing stick or paddle
- Paint roller or spray gun
- Painter’s tape and drop cloths
- Gloves, safety glasses, and a respirator mask
- Clean rags or tack cloth
- Proper safety gear is essential when working with coatings — especially in enclosed areas.
Step 3: Mix and Apply the Coating
Once your surface is ready, it’s time to apply the coating. Follow these steps carefully:
- Stir thoroughly – Aluminum coatings often contain metallic pigments that settle at the bottom of the container. Mix until you get a uniform consistency.
- Test a small area – Apply a small amount to ensure adhesion and color consistency.
- Apply evenly – Use a high-quality roller, brush, or spray gun to apply the coating in thin, even layers. Avoid overloading the roller to prevent drips.
- Work in sections – Start from one side and move consistently to maintain an even film thickness.
- Allow to dry – Follow the manufacturer’s drying time (typically 6–8 hours for touch dry and 24 hours for full cure).
- If a second coat is required, lightly sand the first coat before applying the next to ensure strong bonding and a smooth finish.
Step 4: Add a Second Coat for Durability
- For industrial or outdoor projects, a second coat is highly recommended. It provides extra protection against UV rays, chemicals, and moisture, while intensifying the metallic aluminum sheen.
- Wait until the first coat is completely cured before applying the second. This will ensure maximum adhesion and long-term durability.
Step 5: Inspect and Maintain
After your coating is fully cured, inspect the surface. It should have a smooth, reflective, and even metallic finish with no drips or dull patches. To keep it looking new:
- Clean regularly with mild soap and water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the aluminum finish.
- Touch up any scratched or chipped areas to prevent corrosion from spreading.
- Regular maintenance will keep your coated metal surfaces looking professional and performing well for years.
