Read about the most advanced paint coatings ever formulated, giving metal homes the ultimate protection against all weather! If you aren’t looking for that rustic look and want to put a protective paint coating on steel homes. I recommend using either Rust Bullet or POR-15 coatings over the Corten Steel. These coatings were developed for maximum protection, even if rust is present to make sure people have self sustaining metal homes. It works when you apply it over rust by penetrating and dehydrating the rust until it reaches the metal. To prep the metal just scrape anything that is loose on the surface.

Superior coatings on metal homes are guaranteed to last

When building with new Corten Steel, a Rust Bullet or POR-15 protective coating will guarantee metal homes will last many years to come. They say a minimum of 2 coats for long lasting protection is all that is required. A third coat may be necessary for extreme conditions if exposed to the weather year-round. If you build a house with new Corten Steel and put a protective layer on top, it should out last any house out there. These coatings are a bit pricey, but the benefits of a long-lasting house with minimal maintenance and worries are worth it.

Rust Bullet products for your self sustaining metal homes

Rust Bullet is the recommended choice for most government applications. The Industrial coating for home applications is scratch, chip, UV, and chemical resistant and adheres to various substrates, like metal, fiberglass, wood, & concrete, can prevent the growth of mold and protect against its effects. It is fire retardant, which means it can help prevent fires from spreading and contains NO Lead, Zinc, Acids, or heavy metals.

The weather resistance is exceptional on a steel houses in all climates, including below sea water! For the ultimate protection, simply apply BlackShell or WhiteShell as a topcoat over the patented Rust Bullet Industrial to create the strongest armor tough, chip resistant protection against rust and corrosion ever formulated. BlackShell & WhiteShell are UV Resistant, scratch and chip resistant, can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed, and dries to a gloss black or white finish.  If used as a stand-alone protective coating, minimum 2 coat application required. Rust Bullet Professional Grade ProPLUS Rust Inhibitor Coating is for outdoor use only, it contains LEAD. It’s recommended for metal only and a minimum 2 coats required.

POR-15 coatings to put on self sustaining metal homes

POR-15 offers many of the same benefits as Rust Bullet. The Rust Preventive Coating is lead-free and it also has excellent surface tolerance which means it works very well on porous surfaces to make efficient self sustaining metal homes. Examples of porous surfaces are wood, fiberglass, concrete and bricks. If you apply it to a porous surface, remember that it will absorb right in and you will never get it off. You can apply this protective coating for your Home, Automobile, Marine and Industrial uses like decks, heavy equipment, trailers, HVAC pipes, for a steel i beam home and much more.

POR-15 can be used on your roof to protect the wood from moisture. Remember to also add a Roof Underlayment, so that your roof can be energy efficient. For POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating, a topcoat is required if exposed to UV light to make self sustaining metal homes. For UV protection, they say you can use any topcoat, but they also offer their own POR-15 Top Coat.
