Steel-It Steel Gray 12oz Aerosol Can 1002D
STEEL-IT 1002D is a steel gray 1K polyurethane aerosol in a 12 oz can with 316L stainless leafing pigment for metal, fab, and plant equipment. It goes direct-to-metal so crews can protect steel and aluminum that need UV, washdown, and later weldability.
- Protects steel, aluminum, and fab work against corrosion, abrasion, salt spray, and harsh chemicals.
- Stays weldable after a full cure so TIG or MIG can cut through the finish without stripping the part first.
- Holds up outdoors with UV resistance on equipment that sees weather and washdown.

STEEL-IT 1002D Steel Gray Polyurethane Aerosol - 12 Oz
STEEL-IT 1002D is a steel gray one-component polyurethane aerosol in a 12 oz can loaded with 316L stainless leafing pigment. It goes direct-to-metal on steel, galvanized, aluminum, and fab work that needs corrosion and UV resistance, and after a full cure the finish stays weldable for TIG or MIG touch-up with the same steel gray aerosol on plant and fab equipment.

Key Features
- STEEL-IT 1002D is the 12 oz steel gray polyurethane aerosol with 316L stainless leafing pigment.
- Direct-to-metal placement covers steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and common fab substrates.
- The cured film resists corrosion, abrasion, UV, moisture, salt spray, and harsh chemicals in a hard metallic finish.
- A full 7-day cure keeps the finish weldable for TIG or MIG with aerosol touch-up of the same finish.
- Plant equipment that sees high-pressure washdowns and detergents keeps a finish that does not chip or flake.
- Interior and exterior work both get UV and weathering resistance on the finished part.
- STEEL-IT 2213 Epoxy Ester Precoat under the aerosol adds corrosion resistance when welding is not planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
What metals and jobs is STEEL-IT 1002D made for?
STEEL-IT 1002D is the steel gray polyurethane aerosol for motorsports, automotive, architecture, packaging, machinery, industrial maintenance, agriculture, aerospace, marine, and DIY fab work. The TDS names steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, nickel-plated steel, copper, brass, plastic, and fiberglass, for interior and exterior service where UV and weathering resistance matter.
What film build does the aerosol system need for a steel gray STEEL-IT finish?
The STEEL-IT TDS calls for four coats of steel gray polyurethane aerosol at approximately 1.5 mils DFT each for 6 mils total DFT. For particularly harsh conditions it recommends six coats for approximately 9 mils total DFT. Two aerosol coats at approximately 8 mils wet film each, applied 30 to 60 minutes apart, target approximately 3 mils DFT.
What temperature and humidity window applies when spraying STEEL-IT 1002D?
Apply only when ambient and substrate temperatures are 50 F to 100 F (10 C to 38 C), relative humidity is less than 85 percent, and the substrate and coating stay at least 5 F (2.75 C) above the dew point. Cure at ambient temperatures of 50 F to 120 F (10 C to 49 C). Full cure is 5 to 7 days after the final coat.
What cure time is required before welding through STEEL-IT 1002D?
The TDS allows TIG or MIG welding after a full 7-day cure. Seamless touch-up uses the same steel gray polyurethane aerosol. When welding is not planned, STEEL-IT 2213 Epoxy Ester Precoat under the polyurethane topcoat or aerosol significantly improves corrosion resistance.
Which other STEEL-IT packs match this steel gray polyurethane chemistry?
Live sisters in the same steel gray polyurethane family are STEEL-IT 1002Q (quart) and 1002G (gallon) for liquid brush or spray work. The matching black aerosol is STEEL-IT 1012D in a 12 oz can. Manufacturer documentation still labels the aerosol family 1002B; this steel gray aerosol is sold as 1002D.
What coverage and can weight does the steel gray aerosol TDS list?
The aerosol column lists approximately 14 oz per can (397 g) and approximately 7.5 sq ft per can at 3 mils DFT on smooth, non-porous surfaces assuming 20 percent overspray loss. VOC for the aerosol is listed as CA MIR less than 1.25. Maximum in-service temperature on the cured film is 200 F (93 C). Solids by weight for the aerosol are 26 percent plus or minus 2 percent.
