Metal clad windows and doors can be refinished to look like new
Metal windows and doors can become chalked, faded and pitted with oxidization
Often the finish can be buffed out and waxed
But often they have gone too far and we need to refinish with a bullet proof coating system
We protect the glass, clean the metal cladding free of contaminants and then sand to a sound condition
Using marine filler, we fill in any voids or damage caused by oxidization and then sand smooth
The surface is spray primed with XIM UMA bonding primer tinted close to the finish color. On this project we used an airless with a 210 tip. An HVLP or air assisted airless would work as well.
The two finish coats of PPG Breakthrough satin sheen to match the original color and sheen of the windows and doors.
The owner was ticked pink at the results…..we will be back in 20 years to do it again!
