As temperatures drop, now is the time to finish any exterior painting projects before winter arrives. We have limited availability to refinish your fence, porch, or stairs in Chicago and ensure they’re protected against harsh weather. Proper metal refinishing procedures are key to the longevity of the finish.
Choosing the right paint and application conditions is crucial for long-lasting results. Many metal enamels need temperatures of at least 40°F for 24 hours to cure, while Sherwin Williams Corothane works in temperatures as low as 25°F. Using improper paints in cold weather often leads to peeling and flaking in just a few months.
Why Metal Grinding Matters
One essential step before any priming or painting is metal grinding. Properly grinding the metal removes any rust or loose particles, creating a smooth, even surface. This process is crucial for the primer and paint to adhere well, extending the life of the finish and preventing rust from quickly returning. Skipping this step can result in a poor bond and an uneven finish, diminishing the look and durability of your investment.
