There are two different types of paint systems used at Bulldog Steel: Kynar and SMP. Both paints are applied to coil and sheet metal and both are a 40-year paint system. At Bulldog Steel, we use WeatherXL from Valspar as our preferred brand of SMP paint. For the Kynar paint system, we use Western States which is located in Arizona.
Kynar or PVDF paint offers ultimate protection against extreme heat, humidity, color fading, and gloss loss. This paint is considered top-quality and the most long-lasting.
On the other hand, the SMP paint system is made of silicone. The silicone in this paint helps to improve the glossiness of the steel and increases resistance to elements like heat and extreme weather.
