STEEL-IT Polyurethane Aerosol – Black, 12 oz Can (1012D)

STEEL-IT 1012D Polyurethane Aerosol is a black, stainless steel-filled topcoat designed for spray application where durability and corrosion resistance are critical. Formulated with 316L stainless steel pigment, it delivers long-lasting protection against rust, abrasion, UV rays, chemicals, and moisture. This aerosol version provides the same resilient, weldable metallic barrier as brush-grade STEEL-IT coatings, making it ideal for touch-ups, repairs, and projects requiring a sleek black satin finish.

Key Features

  • 12 oz aerosol with stainless steel-filled polyurethane formula.
  • Black satin finish for an attractive protective coating.
  • Resists corrosion, UV, chemicals, abrasion, and moisture.
  • Weldable coating suitable for TIG and MIG welding after full cure.
  • Convenient spray application for touch-ups and small projects.
  • Durable performance in industrial, automotive, marine, and construction environments.
  • Improves corrosion resistance over 4–6 weeks after application.

Applications

  • Touch-up coating for STEEL-IT polyurethane systems.
  • Repairs and maintenance for automotive, motorsports, and marine equipment.
  • Industrial machinery and structural steel protection.
  • Food processing, agricultural, and construction applications requiring a durable black finish.
  • Field use where spray application is faster and more practical than brush application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the 1012D different from the gray version?
The 1012D delivers the same stainless steel-filled protection as the gray 1002D but with a black satin finish.

How many coats should I apply?
Four coats provide a total 6 mils DFT. For harsh conditions, six coats are recommended.

What surfaces can it be applied to?
Steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, brass, plastics, and fiberglass.

Is the coating weldable?
Yes. After a 7-day cure, the coating can be TIG or MIG welded and touched up with aerosol spray.

How do I prepare the surface?
Surfaces must be grit-blasted or sanded to a rough profile, cleaned of rust, oil, and debris before application.
