In addition to its familiar shades of industrial gray, STEEL-IT® – the #1 toughest protective paint for metal – is now also available in black. No small thing, it took us years of chemical experimentation and testing to add black to our limited color choices without compromising the paint's exceptional durability and adhesion. In black as in gray, STEEL-IT lasts 10+ years in most environments, prolonging the life of metal surfaces, machinery, service structures, and metallic architectural designs.
