Metallic Coatings for Polished Look
Posted on April 15, 2020
Dress up your building with a more special color than traditional white, black or gray. Whether it’s a subtle sparkle or a statement piece, a metallic finish could be the perfect piece to complete your building’s look.
Here are projects where our team used metallic coatings for a polished look.
Because of their finish, metallic paints require a specialized application technique. These paints are made to be used both inside and outside. They also can contain textures for an added look in the finish. Our team has extensive knowledge of the best practices for a long-lasting and great-looking finished project.
Businesses have had success incorporating metallic paint finishes in various areas of their paint job. These include aluminum storefronts, railings and other architectural elements of the design. When these colors are professionally and successfully applied, they give off a modern and professional appeal with luxurious quality.
Storefront Refacing
In a full storefront painting, it’s important to get an even coating and beautiful finish. To achieve this, our crew used specialized applications from a low-nap roller and fine finish spray tip to a high volume, low-pressure sprayer.
For this project, in particular, it was important to assess the existing substrate and surrounding areas. The office building had a budget and timing requirements to adhere to. We worked within their schedule and allowed for the office building to remain open, with minimal impact on working hours.
Brewery Update
Our team was happy to add metallic paint to the metal railings on a large brewery patio. Because the project is high-touch and outside, we had to ensure that the paint would hold up to the hands and elements the outdoors can bring with it.
For this project, we applied the paint over a previously finished metal. There were some areas of rust that were repaired and prepared before the paint was applied. The harsh Colorado exterior exposure had to be taken into consideration to allow the paint to remain intact for several seasonal cycles.
