Marine Epoxy Coatings

Living in Santa Barbara can bring about many challenges, including high salt levels that can be damaging to metal surfaces. For this reason, marine coatings are highly recommended for any painted wrought iron, painted steel, or painted metal that is located within five miles of the ocean. At Purple Painting, we understand the importance of using marine epoxy coatings to protect metal surfaces from rust and corrosion caused by exposure to moisture and saltwater. Marine epoxy coatings generally consist of a basecoat primer and a topcoat finish paint, both of which are two-part epoxies that cure in moist areas with the help of a catalyst. These coatings are designed to last for many years and are highly durable, making them an ideal choice for areas directly adjacent to bodies of water. It is important to properly maintain these coatings in order to ensure their longevity and prevent costly re-painting projects in the future. At Purple Painting, we offer annual inspections of rust-prone substrates around your home or building, and we can recommend which coatings need maintenance to prevent deterioration and maintain a newer, nicer looking finish for the indefinite future. In addition, we understand that recoating entire surfaces can be expensive, so we recommend treating exposed areas immediately to prevent rust from spreading throughout the entire surface. Our team of experienced painters can provide expert guidance on the maintenance of marine coatings and ensure that your metal surfaces remain protected and beautiful for years to come.
