GRAY, DTM (DIRECT TO METAL TECHNOLOGY), INDUSTRIAL GRADE

This industrial-grade gray paint utilizes advanced Direct-to-Metal (DTM) technology, allowing it to be applied directly to prepared metal surfaces without a separate primer. It delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and a durable finish, making it a cost-effective solution for MRO, fabrication, and equipment refinishing projects.

Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

Formulated as a high-solids, alkyd-based coating, our Gray DTM paint provides a robust protective barrier in a single application. The direct-to-metal chemistry ensures excellent adhesion to properly cleaned steel and iron, creating a tough, flexible film that resists chipping, fading, and abrasion. This industrial-grade formulation is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including moisture, mild chemical exposure, and temperature fluctuations, making it a reliable choice for long-term asset protection in the Los Angeles area.

Ideal for both new fabrication and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO), this DTM coating simplifies the painting process, saving time and labor costs. Use it to protect structural steel, machinery, equipment, metal fencing, and ornamental ironwork. Its durable gray finish is perfect for industrial settings, offering a clean, professional look while delivering critical corrosion protection. This is a go-to product for welders, fabricators, and maintenance crews needing a high-performance, commercial-grade coating.

Specifications

  • Material: Industrial-Grade Alkyd Enamel
  • Standards: Formulated for MIL-SPEC Performance Criteria
  • Strength/Tensile: N/A (Excellent Adhesion & Abrasion Resistance)
  • Dimensions: Available in 1-Gallon Cans and 12-oz Spray Cans
  • Finish: Durable Gray (Satin/Gloss Finish)
  • Certifications: Industrial Quality Certification

Applications

  • Fabrication: Finishing newly fabricated steel parts, frames, gates, and ornamental iron.
  • MRO: Touch-up and recoating of industrial machinery, equipment, and structural components.
  • Construction: Protecting structural steel beams, columns, and metal decking from rust.
  • Equipment: Refinishing heavy-duty vehicle chassis, trailers, and industrial equipment.

Target Users

This product is primarily used by professional fabricators, welders, maintenance technicians, and painting contractors for projects requiring fast, durable, and effective metal protection. It's a key item in any MRO supplies inventory.

Finish Options

This product is available in a standard industrial gray. Depending on inventory, both satin and high-gloss finishes may be available to meet specific project requirements. For other colors in our DTM line, please contact our Los Angeles sales team.

How to Measure

To select the right quantity, calculate the total square footage of the surface to be painted. A typical gallon of this DTM paint covers approximately 250-400 square feet per coat, depending on surface porosity and application method. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of rust or grease before application for optimal adhesion.

Example: Specify '10 Gallons, Gray DTM Industrial Paint' or '1 Case (12 cans), Gray DTM Spray Paint'.

Order Checklist
