Metal-Tec Metal Roof Paint Direct To Metal Paint
Metal-Tec Metal Roof Paint Direct To Metal Paint
Acrylux Metal-Tec™ Metal Roof Paint is a high-performance, field-applied coating engineered specifically for metal roof restoration and color changes. It combines the adhesion and toughness of a premium crosslinking direct-to-metal (DTM) coating with the long-term weathering durability expected from a roof-grade finish. Metal-Tec uses industrial-grade pigments and advanced resin technology to stand up to intense heat and constant exterior exposure, while incorporating rust-inhibitive properties to help resist corrosion. Ideal for aluminum, Galvalume®, steel, and previously coated Kynar®/OEM finishes, Metal-Tec is a dependable solution for both newly installed metal roofs and older, weathered systems.
-
For use on new or previously painted metal roofs, including aluminum, galvanized steel, Galvalume®, copper, zinc, and stainless steel.
-
Coverage will vary with surface porosity; when spraying, expect 350–400 sq. ft. per gallon.
-
Apply with a high-quality nylon/polyester brush, 3/16" woven roller, paint pad, or spray equipment. Maintain a wet edge during application, as the product dries quickly. Rinse
brushes with warm water during extended use. Two coats are recommended for
maximum durability.
Spray Application:
Airless: Use a fine-finish tip (.015"–.019") at 1500–2000 psi.
Conventional/HVLP: No thinning required for airless spray. If needed, thin up to 5–10% (12 oz./355 mL per gallon) with clean water for conventional, HVLP, or brush applications.
-
At 70 F and 50% relative humidity: Touch – 1 Hour , Recoat – 2-4 hours.
Dry times may vary depending on air temperature, wind, and humidity.
-
All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, grease, mildew, rust, loose paint, and other contaminants.
Aluminum: Clean with solvent and hand tools at minimum; for best results, blast clean. Prime the same day.
Galvanized Steel: Solvent clean, then pre-treat with an etching solution. Brush blast if passivated; remove rust and prime same day.
Galvalume: Clean thoroughly, repair damaged primer, and confirm compatibility of shop and field coatings.
Copper: Solvent clean and prime same day.
Zinc: Sand smooth, remove dust, and ensure compounds are dry before priming.
Stainless Steel: Sand or clean to open pores; treat mildew; fill, caulk, and sand smooth before painting.
Previously Painted: Allow 30 days cure (pH ≤10). For earlier coating, cure 7 days and prime with alkali-resistant primer.
Refresh and Restore Your Metal Roof
Whether you’re changing the color of a newly installed metal roof or restoring an old, worn one, Metal-Tec is the premium choice. You’re no longer locked into a single color for the life of your warranty. Trust Acrylux Metal-Tec for lasting protection and an updated look!
Industrial Tints for Color Stability
Metal-Tec metal roof paint uses high-performance industrial-grade tints engineered to maximize long-term color retention on metal roofs. Typical architectural coatings sold at standard paint stores rely on general-grade, water-based tints in their direct-to-metal paints, making them far more susceptible to early fading.
