• Preparation is important. Remove any heavy/loose rust, loose paint, paint chips, etc. so that at a minimum, surfaces are brought to a combination of tight surface rust, some bare metal, and  firmly bonded.  As almost all shipping containers have been exposed to salt, power wash with a salt remover.  Power washing alone will not remove all salts from the metal.  Even traces of salt will accelerate corrosion under all paints.
• Areas where there is rust, bare metal, or cracked paint can be spot primed, encapsulated, and locked down with Rust Grip.
• As Rust Grip has aluminum in it, is light grey with a matte finish. If you are looking for pure corrosion protection and the look new metal, Rust Grip is all you need.  It is designed to perform on its own as a 1 coating system and is fully UV stable.
• If you have a particular color in mind, you can top coat Rust Grip or clean firmly bonded existing paint with Enamo Grip. Enamo Grip which is a very hard enamel urethane can be custom tinted to any exact color specification or finish.

For older containers where the paint is aged/faded but fully intact with no rust bleeding, or peeling, Enamo Grip can be applied right over it. If the container is relatively new with some sheen, you’ll need to rough up/lightly sand the surfaces for profile and power wash.  Enamo Grip can be easily brushed, rolled, or sprayed on.

As many commercial and industrial users are very particular about the colors they use, Enamo Grip, our architectural/industrial grade enamel urethane top coat, is often custom tinted and finished to an exact specification or spectrometer matched to a competitors color/finish. We have some standard colors in stock as well.

Rust Grip and Enamo Grip are fully UV stable and highly resistant to fading, chalking, or peeling. They are designed for industrial and commercial applications under the harshest (such as marine) conditions.
