Paintmaster Skip & Container Paint for Anti-Corrosive Enamel

Paintmaster Skip & Container Paint is a professional-grade, anti-corrosive industrial enamel formulated to protect steel skips, shipping containers, waste bins, and other heavy-duty metal equipment exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. Using a durable long-oil alkyd resin system combined with advanced rust-inhibiting pigments, it forms a tough, weatherproof oxide gloss coating that resists corrosion, chipping, and daily abrasion.

This high-performance enamel self-levels to a smooth, easy-clean gloss finish, giving metal surfaces a professional look while locking out moisture and environmental contaminants. It is engineered for excellent adhesion over correctly primed steel and is compatible with brush, roller, or airless spray application, allowing both small touch-ups and large industrial projects to be completed efficiently.

Ideal for use in construction, waste management, transport, and marine environments, Paintmaster Skip & Container Paint provides long-term colour retention and protection even in demanding UK weather. Manufactured under ISO 9001 standards, each batch is quality-checked for consistent viscosity, sprayability, and colour fidelity, ensuring dependable results every time.

Suitable Substrates

Paintmaster Skip & Container Paint can be applied to a wide range of properly prepared surfaces, including:

• Steel skips and shipping containers: Protects against rust and impact damage in harsh outdoor conditions.

• Metal waste bins and industrial equipment: Creates a smooth, easy-clean finish that resists dirt and moisture.

• Metal cladding and primed steel structures: Bonds strongly over compatible anti-corrosive primers for long-lasting protection.

• Concrete, brick, and timber (primed): Provides a durable decorative finish when correctly sealed or primed.

Bare or rusty steel must be treated and primed with a compatible anti-corrosive oxide primer to achieve maximum adhesion and rust resistance.
