Metal Protection

Rust never sleeps. We stock high-performance anti-corrosion coatings and metal paints for gates, roofing, machinery, structural steel and more.

Metal protection and industrial coatings

Stop Rust Before It Starts

Metal surfaces need proper treatment to resist corrosion — especially in Queensland's coastal and humid conditions. The right primer, the right topcoat and the right surface preparation make all the difference.

We stock a practical range of metal protection products suitable for residential, commercial and light industrial use. From a rusted gate to a corrugated iron roof, we can point you to the right product.

Bituminous & Protective Coatings

Waterproofing and protective coatings for pipes, tanks, foundations and below-ground metal surfaces.

Metal Protection Questions

Ideally you'd remove as much loose rust as possible. For light surface rust, a rust converter can be used to stabilise it before painting over. For heavily corroded metal, more thorough preparation will give a better long-term result. Ask us about the best approach for your situation.
Corrugated iron roofs need a good rust-inhibiting primer first, followed by a quality acrylic roof paint or an oil-based enamel. Surface preparation — removing loose rust and cleaning off dirt — is critical. Come in and we'll walk you through the full system.
An etch primer chemically bonds to bare metal, providing superior adhesion and corrosion resistance. A standard primer relies on mechanical adhesion and may not perform as well on metal. For any bare or lightly rusted metal surface, an etch primer is the right first step.
