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

This industrial-grade red Direct-to-Metal (DTM) paint provides a robust, single-coat solution for protecting metal surfaces. Its advanced alkyd formulation offers excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance, streamlining MRO and fabrication projects by eliminating the need for a separate primer.

  • Direct-to-Metal (DTM) Technology
  • Industrial Grade Alkyd Formulation
  • Superior Corrosion & Weather Resistance
  • Steel, Iron & Metal Equipment
Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

Formulated as a high-solids, oil-based alkyd coating, this industrial red DTM paint is engineered for maximum durability. The direct-to-metal technology ensures a strong molecular bond with properly prepared steel and iron substrates, creating a barrier that resists moisture, mild chemicals, and abrasion. This composition provides a long-lasting, protective finish that meets the performance criteria for demanding industrial environments, making it a reliable choice for protecting valuable metal assets.

Ideal for both new construction and maintenance, this versatile coating is the go-to solution for welders, fabricators, and MRO teams in the Los Angeles area. It is perfectly suited for refinishing industrial machinery, protecting structural steel components, and coating ornamental ironwork. Its ease of application saves significant time and labor on projects ranging from large-scale fabrication to routine touch-ups on commercial hardware.

Specifications

  • Material: High-Solids, Oil-Based Alkyd
  • Standards: Meets Industrial Performance Benchmarks
  • Strength/Tensile: N/A (Liquid Coating)
  • Dimensions: Available in Aerosol Cans & 1-Gallon / 5-Gallon Pails
  • Finish: Red, Gloss Finish (Other colors available)
  • Certifications: Industrial Quality Import/Domestic

Applications

  • Fabrication: Applying a durable, protective finish to newly fabricated steel parts, frames, gates, and ornamental ironwork.
  • MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Operations): Touching up or recoating industrial machinery and heavy-duty vehicles to prevent rust.
  • Structural Steel: Protecting I-beams, angle iron, and other structural components from environmental corrosion.
  • Safety & Industrial: Using a vibrant red color for safety marking on equipment, hazard areas, and fire protection systems.

Target Users

This product is essential for fabrication shops, welding contractors, MRO technicians, and facilities maintenance teams who require a reliable, high-performance coating for metal protection.

Finish Options

This product is a gloss red finish. We also stock a comprehensive line of industrial paints in various finishes, including matte, satin, and high-gloss, and a wide spectrum of colors such as black, white, yellow, and gray to meet any project specification.

How to Measure

To ensure proper coverage, calculate the total square footage of the surface to be painted. A typical gallon of industrial DTM paint covers approximately 250-400 square feet per coat, depending on surface porosity and application method (spray, brush, roll). Always prepare the surface by removing loose rust, scale, and contaminants.

Example: Project: 500 sq ft steel frame. Requirement: 2 Gallons for one full coat. Specify: 'Red DTM Industrial Paint, 1-Gallon, Qty: 2'.

Order Checklist

  • Product: Red DTM Industrial Paint
  • Color and Finish: Red, Gloss
  • Quantity: Aerosol Cans, 1-Gallon, or 5-Gallon Pails
  • Surface Preparation: Verify surface is clean, dry, and free of grease
