FLAT BLACK, DTM (DIRECT TO METAL TECHNOLOGY), OIL BASE

Our Flat Black DTM Oil-Base paint is an industrial-grade coating engineered for direct application to metal surfaces, eliminating the need for a separate primer. Its advanced formula provides exceptional adhesion and a durable, corrosion-resistant finish, making it the ideal choice for demanding MRO and fabrication projects.

  • Industrial Grade Alkyd Coating
  • DTM (Direct-to-Metal) Technology
  • Excellent Corrosion & Weather Resistance
  • Application: Bare or Painted Metal Surfaces
Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

This high-performance, oil-based alkyd enamel is formulated with Direct-to-Metal (DTM) technology, allowing it to bond directly to properly prepared steel and iron substrates without a primer. This single-step application saves time and labor while delivering a robust, non-reflective flat black finish that resists rust, abrasion, and weathering. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, it forms a protective barrier that extends the service life of metal components, equipment, and structures. It is a staple MRO supply for any facility.

Ideal for both new fabrication and maintenance, this commercial-grade DTM paint is the go-to solution for coating structural steel, ornamental ironwork, industrial machinery, and metal fencing. Its excellent coverage and durability make it a cost-effective choice for large-scale projects and routine touch-ups. As a premier Los Angeles industrial supply, we keep this paint in stock for same-day pickup, ensuring your projects stay on schedule. Whether you are refinishing equipment or protecting new welds, this paint delivers a professional, long-lasting finish.

Specifications

  • Material: Oil-Based Alkyd Enamel
  • Standards: Formulated to meet or exceed industrial performance benchmarks for corrosion resistance.
  • Strength/Tensile: N/A for coatings; provides a durable, abrasion-resistant protective film.
  • Dimensions: Available in 1-Gallon Cans and Aerosol Spray Cans
  • Finish: Flat Black
  • Certifications: Engineered for performance consistent with MIL-SPEC requirements for industrial coatings.

Applications

  • Fabrication: Coating newly fabricated steel parts, gates, fences, and ornamental ironwork.
  • Industrial MRO: Touch-up and refinishing of machinery, equipment, and metal assets in manufacturing plants.
  • Structural Steel: Providing a protective base coat on beams, frames, and structural supports.
  • Architectural Metal: Finishing handrails, balusters, and decorative metal elements with a uniform, flat black look.

Target Users

This product is essential for metal fabricators, maintenance crews, welders, and industrial painters. It is widely used in machine shops, construction sites, and facilities management for both protective and aesthetic coating applications.

Finish Options

This product provides a professional, non-reflective Flat Black finish. Our complete line of industrial-grade DTM paints is also available in a variety of other standard colors and sheens, including gloss and satin, to meet diverse project requirements.

How to Measure

To determine the required quantity of paint, calculate the total surface area of the item to be coated. For flat surfaces, multiply Length x Width. For complex shapes, estimate the total area. A general rule for coverage is approximately 250-400 square feet per gallon, but this can vary based on application method and surface porosity. Always factor in 10-15% extra for waste and potential second coats.

Example: To paint both sides of a 50ft long by 5ft high fence panel: (50' x 5' x 2 sides) = 500 sq. ft. At 300 sq. ft./gallon, you would need approximately 1.7 gallons. It is recommended to order 2 gallons.

Order Checklist

  • Verify Coating Type: DTM Oil-Base Paint
  • Confirm Color and Finish: Flat Black
  • Calculate Quantity Needed: Gallons or Aerosol Cans
  • Select Supporting Supplies: Thinner, brushes, rollers, or spray equipment
  • Certifications Required: Specify if a Certificate of Conformance is needed
  • Specify Delivery or Will-Call at our Los Angeles warehouse
