Metal Options

When it comes to updating metal furniture, two types of paint ensure the most durable finishes: direct-to-metal paint (also referred to as DTM) and urethane paint. If the project requires a brushed application, it's best to choose direct-to-metal paint. For pieces in need of sprayed finishes, urethane paint — which requires wearing a protective mask and working in a well-ventilated area — is the ideal choice.
