Description
A superior-quality one-package coating, Silver-Brite® Aluminum Paint is formulated with 325-mesh leafing aluminum pigment, petroleum resin and select oils to produce a chrome-like, uniform appearance.
Material Use:
Silver-Brite® Aluminum Paint is a high-quality, one-component, general-purpose aluminum enamel designed for both interior and exterior applications. It is formulated with 325-mesh leafing aluminum pigment, petroleum resin, and select oils to provide a chrome-like, uniform metallic finish. This product is ideal for use on properly prepared steel, concrete, masonry, primed galvanized metal, and aluminum surfaces. It offers excellent resistance to weathering, moisture, and dry heat up to 400°F (204°C), making it suitable for industrial and commercial environments.
System Components:
Silver-Brite® Aluminum Paint is typically used as a topcoat in a multi-layer system. Depending on the substrate, it is applied over a compatible primer or block filler. The system may include:
- Primers: Kem Bond HS, Kem Kromik Universal Metal Primer, DTM Wash Primer, Galvite HS, ProMar 200 Zero VOC Latex Primer, Loxon Concrete and Masonry Primer
- Block Filler (for concrete block): Pro Industrial Heavy Duty Block Filler
- Topcoat: 2 coats of Silver-Brite® Aluminum Paint
Applications:
This product is recommended for a wide range of applications including:
- Structural steel and piping
- Bridges and fences
- Refineries and industrial facilities
- Siding and storage tanks (exterior)
- Insulated pipe and ductwork (interior up to 130°F/54°C)
- Concrete and masonry surfaces

- VOC Content: 451 g/L (3.76 lbs/gal)
- Finish: Aluminum sheen
Special Notes:
- Do not tint this product.
- Do not apply more than 1.5 mils DFT per coat to avoid blistering and peeling.
- For best results, apply to cool surfaces between 60°F–90°F (16°C–32°C).
- Stir gently before use; do not shake or over-agitate to avoid a mottled appearance.
- Stripe coat welds, crevices, and sharp angles to prevent early failure.
- For spray application, use a 50% overlap and consider cross-spraying to ensure uniform coverage.
- Surface preparation is critical for performance. Follow SSPC and ICRI standards for cleaning and profiling.
- For galvanized metal, allow to weather for 6 months or perform brush blasting if chromates/silicates are present.
- Clean tools and equipment with compliant solvent immediately after use.
- Rags and waste soaked with this product may spontaneously combust; dispose of properly in a sealed, water-filled metal container.
