Extreme Paints Machinery Enamel Paint is a single‑pack, solvent‑based oxide gloss designed for farm equipment, construction plant, skips, silos and metal fabrications that demand lasting protection with showroom shine. The modified alkyd resin flexes with vibration while anti‑corrosive pigments inhibit rust, extending service life even in harsh outdoor environments.

Suitable for steel, galvanised iron (etched), cast machinery parts, timber crates and prepared concrete bases, the enamel self‑levels to a uniform gloss that shrugs off oil, grease and jet‑wash cleaning. Manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001 QA, it is supplied in 5 L, 10 L and 20 L tins for workshop or site application.

Suitable Substrates

Metal, corrugated iron, galvanised (etched), wood, concrete, well‑bonded coatings and most porous masonry.
