        Answer This Question

        Hi Kami, thanks for the question. After scraping the loose paint and preparing the surface, I'd recommend priming the lintels first with our Metal Primer 432 before applying the Direct to Metal Paint.

          Do you have to use a primer if painting over existing paint
          ByJul 31, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi Joe, thanks for the question. If you're going over an existing paint, a separate primer isn't required. If the existing coating is glossy, I'd recommend scuff-sanding it first to help with adhesion. If you have additional questions about your project, please reach out to us directly. Our customer care team is happy to help. -Ronald

            Will be using a pressure pot type sprayer. What is the thinning recommendations?
            ByJul 31, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi Grouchy, thanks for reaching out with your question. As it turns out, we don’t recommend thinning our Direct-To-Metal Paint. Instead, we recommend using it at its packaged consistency. If thinned, it can affect the product's performance and overall longevity. I would also like to mention that when applying this coating, we recommend using a brush, roller, or an airless sprayer with a .013-.017 tip and a 60 mesh filter. Have a great day! -Angie

                  Insurance reinstated.
                  I'm not sure why there are some bad reviews? I used it on my garage doors, shed, & barn roofs. They look great & I was able to take nice pretty pictures so our California insurance company could reinstate us after canceling for a rusty roof shed :(

                    Coverage was great, I didn't have to thin before going through the sprayer. Adhered perfectly to prepped metal surface. Winter salt trucks will really show me how well the paint works or doesnt.

                    Hi Ger, thank you for your review and for sharing pictures of your project. That is not typical, and we want to help get your project back on track! As this is out of the ordinary, it's best to eliminate factors that could be impacting the finish. I recommend letting the surface dry until sandable to remove any loose coating or texture on the surface. Scuff sand any bare glossy metal before making sure that it's clean, clean of any residue, and dry. Our Multi-Surface Primer can be used for enhanced adhesion before painting. Your project's success is important to us, and we want to help. Please reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and further assist. Our Customer Care team hopes to hear from you soon! -Lina Behr

                      Used Behr DTM with a paint sprayer, with the proper spray tip the paint was applied easily and is adhering well.

                      Hi Junk, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint was watery and did not cover well. That's not typical, as it should have a creamy consistency and typically covers in two coats. We appreciate you sharing your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance. Our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Giovanna Behr

                        Excellent. We were surprised on how little we used to brush paint our old 16ft trailer.
