Direct to Metal Paints

Direct to Metal Paints

Direct to metal paints bond directly to metal surfaces without the need for primers or extensive surface preparation. These coatings protect metal from corrosion, moisture, and weather exposure while delivering long lasting durability. As a result, projects save time, labor, and material costs.

US Specialty Coatings manufactures a complete range of DTM coatings designed for ferrous and non ferrous metals. These paints adhere strongly to steel, iron, galvanized metal, and previously painted metal surfaces. Custom formulations and color matching are also available to meet project specifications.

Water Based Direct to Metal Coatings

DTM WB Water Based
This non flammable, low odor acrylic coating offers excellent durability and fast drying performance. It resists water absorption, rust, corrosion, and exterior weathering. Because it contains very low VOCs, crews safely use it for interior applications without impacting air quality. Available colors include white, black, yellow, neon yellow, orange, and custom options.

Solvent Based Direct to Metal Coatings

DTM SB Solvent Based
This one component polyurethane coating delivers a tough, self curing finish on properly prepared metal and previously painted surfaces. It dries quickly and resists corrosion without flash rusting. Although solvent based, it maintains relatively low odor and VOC levels compared to similar products. This option offers cost efficiency and ease of use. Available colors include white, trailer white, tan, black, and custom colors.

Aerosol Direct to Metal Coatings

Duracoat DTM Aerosol
This fast drying enamel acrylic coating comes in convenient aerosol spray cans. It cures to a tough, flexible finish that resists water, cracking, chipping, and weather exposure. Crews use it for both interior and exterior metal applications where portability and ease of application matter.

Reliable Metal Protection Solutions

Direct to metal paints support industrial, commercial, and maintenance applications where strong adhesion and corrosion resistance are essential. In addition, these coatings reduce downtime by eliminating primer steps.

These solutions deliver dependable protection and performance for metal structures, equipment, and surfaces exposed to demanding conditions.
