Extreme Paints Skip & Container Paint is a hard‑wearing, solvent‑based machine enamel formulated with long‑oil alkyd resins and anti‑corrosive pigments to protect steel skips, waste bins, shipping containers and heavy equipment. The high‑build oxide gloss forms a tough, chip‑resistant barrier that prevents rust while standing up to daily knocks, scrapes and severe weather.
Suitable for brush, roller or airless spray, the coating self‑levels to a smooth gloss that is easy to clean and maintain. When applied over a compatible anti‑corrosive oxide primer, it delivers maximum adhesion and extends service life on new or refurbished steel. Manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001, every batch is viscosity‑checked for consistent sprayability and colour density.
Suitable Substrates
Steel skips, bins, containers, metal cladding, prepared concrete, brickwork and sound timber. Bare or rusty steel must first receive our anti‑corrosive oxide primer.
