This industrial-grade DTM (Direct-to-Metal) clear coat is engineered for superior adhesion and corrosion protection without the need for a separate primer. Its advanced formula provides a durable, transparent finish, making it ideal for protecting metal substrates in fabrication and MRO applications while preserving the underlying surface appearance.

  • Direct-to-Metal (DTM) Application
  • High-Durability Clear Coat
  • Excellent Corrosion & Weather Resistance
  • Industrial Performance Grade
Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

Formulated as a high-performance alkyd-based coating, this DTM clear paint is engineered to chemically bond with prepared metal surfaces. This direct-to-metal technology eliminates the need for a primer, streamlining the application process and reducing labor costs. The coating cures to a hard, non-porous film that effectively seals the substrate from moisture, chemicals, and atmospheric corrosives. Its industrial-grade composition ensures long-lasting protection and finish retention in demanding commercial and industrial environments, making it a reliable choice for asset protection.

This versatile clear coating is widely used in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) and new fabrication projects. It is perfect for sealing welded joints, protecting ornamental ironwork, and providing a final protective layer over bare metal or existing coatings. Ideal for use on steel equipment, structural components, and machinery, it guards against rust and degradation. This bulk DTM clear coat is a staple for Los Angeles industrial supply, trusted by fabricators and maintenance teams for its reliability and performance.

Specifications

  • Material: Alkyd-Based Coating
  • Standards: Meets Industrial Performance Benchmarks
  • Strength/Tensile: N/A (Coating)
  • Dimensions: Available in Aerosol Cans and 1-Gallon / 5-Gallon Pails

  • Automotive & Fleet: Touch-up and protection for chassis, frames, and underbody components.

Target Users

This product is essential for metal fabricators, welding shops, industrial maintenance crews, and MRO professionals who require a high-performance, direct-to-metal protective coating for their projects.

Finish Options

This DTM coating is available in a transparent Clear finish. Depending on project requirements, it can be sourced in various sheens, including high-gloss for a reflective look or satin for a lower-sheen, modern appearance.
