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
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.

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.
