Yes, if the right substrate is used and VeroMetal® is applied correctly. ASTM testing revealed no perceptible degradation, which is equivalent to a lifespan of 30 years.

No, most installers already have the required equipment, e.g. an HVLP spray system, as standard.

No, VeroMetal® can be applied in any thickness you require.

It can be applied in a single spray pass.

We recommend testing new substrates. To date, we have not discovered any substrates that cannot be successfully coated.

Obviously this depends on the operator’s skills, the substrate and the shape of the object, however 1 – 1.5 m2/kg is typical.

Yes, we offer a special training course for installers. This is a two-day, hands-on training course where you learn how to mix, apply and finish VeroMetal® correctly.

No, VeroMetal® is not a metal paint; it does not shrink.

That is correct. VeroMetal® is applied in a cold process.

Yes, VeroMetal® can be applied on flexible surfaces.
