painted metal roof?

5 years ago

What product was used on the standing seem metal roof for the 'painted grip finish?' I have been looking for a product that would do just that for our current project.

Hi there:

The finish is actually paint grip. It is a process where they pre-treat the metal by galvanizing it, then the surface is treated to receive paint. Many architects in our area use this unfinished metal because it looks a lot like zinc. We like it because it is not shiny and looks like a more natrual material.

Thanks Tom!! We are so excited. The link was very helpful as I am a visual person. I am actually thinking about going forward and doing silver leaf on one of the patterned ceilings! Haven't convinced my husband yet but I think with a light romantic colour for the walls, it could be quite nice. The jousts in the corners of the rooms, would you sand those down to the wood or leave white or paint the same colour as wall or ceiling? I will post pictures with the finish products! Might try a different tactic in each room and get a vote on which you like the most. Thanks again to all the help, Hannah

I have no experience of this, but would imagine that without a suitable all purpose primer like Zinsser 1-2-3, it could be a recipe for disaster. I don't think painting with hammerite is going to give a nice smooth glossy finish. If you want a uniform metallic finish then go for metallic car paint. Spray it on in very thin layers, leave to thoroughly dry and then seal with a gloss laquer. You don't need the primer with the car paint, you just need a light sand and thorough clean. I know this works, as have done it myself.

I like the MATH mock up a lot. However one thing I picked up from the F&B How to Decorate book is that visually the ceiling starts at the line between the blue and white and in this case possibly shortens the room. Painting the pitch and beam may make the room look taller, however conversely may make the room look smaller because of the smaller ceiling area. If you see what I mean. Another perhaps more daring option AMB mentioned above is to paint the walls and ceiling all one colour. Then you don't have that visual break. What colour you choose depends on the room use and the light in the room? Is it light and bright? Is it a dark room? Perhaps if it is a dark room, go for a darker, moodier, cosy, cocooning feel: say an Inchira Blue with pale furnishings and fabrics. Perhaps MATH could use the amazing photoshop skills to show this for you? :) Good luck with it.
