Aluminum paint provides a shiny metallic finish and has good durability. It consists of a resin base filled with aluminum flakes. The surface must be properly prepared by cleaning and sanding before applying multiple coats of the paint using a roller, brush, or spray gun. Aluminum paint can resist weather, moisture, and chemicals, and is commonly used for painting metal roofs, siding, and manufacturing equipment. However, it has a long drying time and is only available in metallic colors.
