The paint on your metal roll-up doors and metal buildings is baked on and will last for years but sun and salt air will erode the finish and dull the color. Painted metal can also chalk unless protected.
Paint that is not baked onto metal will oxidize faster, and may crack, peel, blister, chip and ruin your doors. Unless it is
absolutely necessary to paint, it is much better to refinish you baked-on finish. If your doors are already repainted, you can now seal them with Everbrite Protective Coating preventing moisture and sun damage.
What causes paint failures?
The inability to bake on the paint in the field, improper
preparation, moisture penetrating through paint to separate the new
paint from the baked on substrate and various other reasons.
But I know of paint jobs that haven't peeled or cracked.The
main reason for painting is to try and improve the image of the
facility. Since repainted surfaces will chalk and fade even faster, to
keep the facility looking new, the surfaces will need to be repainted
again. Paint over paint over paint will peel and crack. Moisture will
penetrate paint, separating the layers and eventually cause paint
failure.
This is an industry wide problem and we all know people who have
repainted metal, only to have the paint peel or fade even faster and
have cost themselves many thousands of dollars.
Sadly, the money spent on painting to improve the image of
their facility actually added to the problems and subtracted from the
bottom line.
Here are some pictures of Paint Problems.
