See moreHow a steel coating job goes
The same four steps on every piece, whatever the size.
Look at the steel
What it is, where it lives and how it fails today: rust, peeling paint, chemical splash, or bare metal that has not been protected yet.
Prepare the surface
Coatings hold or fail on the prep. Rust, mill scale, oil and old paint come off down to clean, profiled metal.
Prime
A primer goes on bare steel to bond to it and slow rust from starting underneath the finish.
Topcoat and cure
A hard, washable topcoat in the color you choose, left to cure fully before the steel goes back to work.

Why San Antonio steel needs a lasting finish
Bright sun, heat and the odd hard storm are what steel sees here. A coating that was prepped and primed properly holds its color and its protection far better than a quick coat of paint.
- Holds color in the sunA urethane topcoat is chosen for UV exposure, not just looks.
- Seals out moistureA primer bonded to clean steel keeps rust from getting under the finish.
- Ornamental and plainGates, railings and brackets get a clean, even finish.

Questions about steel coating
What is the best coating for outdoor steel in San Antonio?
A two-coat system is common: epoxy primer on clean steel, then a UV-stable urethane topcoat. The primer bonds and seals, and the urethane holds color and gloss in strong sun.
Can you coat ornamental iron and gates?
Yes. Gates, railings and brackets can be prepared, primed and finished. Send photos so the quote reflects the condition of the metal.
Do you coat ranch steel like pipe gates and pens?
Yes, ranch and farm steel is one of the main kinds of work. See the ranch and farm steel page for what to send.
Do you serve the towns around San Antonio?
Yes. That includes New Braunfels, Boerne, Schertz, Seguin, Helotes, Cibolo, Converse and Universal City. Ask if yours isn't listed.
Does old rust have to come off first?
Yes. Rust and mill scale are removed to clean metal before priming, because a coating applied over rust doesn't stay.
