Paint Failure on Metal Steps

The paint on these metal stairs has failed. In many cases, metal stairs can be high wear areas and paint durability can be an issue because of abrasion. In this case, the paint had an adhesion failure. The causes of adhesion failure can be due to improper metal preparation or due to the wrong paint being used. In majority of cases, poor metal prep is the cause.

We recommend Picklex 20. It is a good quality metal prep that works on new or existing metal.
