Utilizing custom-engineered 316L stainless steel leafing pigment, this single-component spray coating creates a hard, non-toxic, metallic finish that can be applied directly to metal. Significantly improves corrosion resistance.
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.

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.
