Product Description
A single package topside alkyd enamel for use on primed steel and metal, wood, aluminum, or fiberglass. Originally developed for pleasure and commercial boats, the properties of this marine enamel make it also ideal for onshore or offshore oilfield equipment, farm machinery, and plant maintenance operations. Duralux Marine Enamels withstand repeated washings, resist oil and gasoline, and hold up to the discoloration effects of harbor gases. Due to computer monitor color calibration differences, color swatches may not accurately represent the actual paint color.
