Applications
High-Gloss PU Paint for Metal
Star PU Paint Aurelia
A two-component polyurethane paint for metal, concrete, and wood — high gloss, long-term colour retention, and strong resistance to weather and chemicals.
Star PU Paint Aurelia is a two-component polyurethane paint for metal, concrete, and wood that combines high gloss, long-term colour retention, and strong resistance to weather and chemicals. Built for fabricators, contractors, and facility owners who need a finish that lasts, this PU enamel paint delivers a hard, durable topcoat over structural steel, machinery, gates, and decorative metalwork.
Unlike ordinary enamels, its polyurethane paint for metal formulation resists chalking and fading even under harsh sun and industrial exposure, giving surfaces a factory-fresh look for years, not months.
Key Performance Benefits
- Two-component polyurethane system — a base and hardener combine to form a tough, cross-linked film with superior durability.
- High-gloss, colour-retentive finish — keeps its shine and shade long after ordinary enamel paints turn dull and chalky.
- Chemical and weather resistance — withstands rain, UV exposure, mild acids, oils, and everyday industrial chemicals.
- Excellent abrasion and impact resistance — holds up on high-traffic equipment, railings, and machine housings.
- Fast surface drying, dependable recoat window — speeds up production schedules without compromising film integrity.
- Multi-surface adhesion — bonds reliably to primed metal, concrete, and properly prepared wood.

The Problem
The Hidden Problems That Damage Metal Without Proper Protection
Fading, corrosion, and poor durability all shorten the life of unprotected metal. Star PU Paint Aurelia is engineered to solve all three.
Fading & Loss of Appearance
Continuous exposure to harsh sunlight, UV rays, rain, and changing weather conditions causes ordinary paints to lose colour, become dull, and develop chalking over time. This affects the appearance of metal structures and increases the need for frequent repainting.
Rust & Corrosion Damage
Bare or poorly protected metal surfaces are highly vulnerable to moisture, humidity, chemicals, and industrial pollutants. Corrosion can weaken the metal structure, reduce service life, and lead to expensive repairs or replacement.
Poor Durability Under Daily Use
Conventional paints often lack the hardness required for industrial and outdoor applications. Regular abrasion, impact, scratches, and chemical exposure can cause peeling and surface damage, leaving metal exposed to further deterioration.
Benefits
6 Reasons Aurelia PU Paint Delivers Superior Metal Protection
Star PU Paint Aurelia combines long-lasting gloss, corrosion protection, chemical resistance, wear resistance, faster project turnaround, and multi-surface versatility — everything fabricators and facility owners need from a metal topcoat.
Long-Lasting Gloss and Colour
Because Star PU Paint Aurelia uses a polyurethane resin system instead of a standard alkyd enamel, it resists UV breakdown far better than conventional coatings — less fading, less chalking, and a surface that still looks freshly painted years after application, reducing the frequency and cost of repainting.
Stronger Protection Against Corrosion
The dense, cross-linked film formed by this PU paint for metal blocks moisture, oxygen, and airborne salts from reaching the substrate. Applied over a compatible anti-corrosive primer, it forms a complete barrier system that significantly extends the service life of steel structures exposed to humid or coastal environments.
Resistance to Chemicals and Industrial Fumes
Factories, workshops, and processing plants expose metal surfaces to oils, solvents, and mild chemical splashes daily. Star PU Paint Aurelia's tough resin chemistry resists these substances better than ordinary enamels, keeping equipment looking clean and protected instead of stained or degraded.
Tougher Surface That Resists Wear
High-traffic areas such as staircases, railings, gates, and machine frames get knocked, scraped, and scuffed constantly. The hard film of this PU enamel paint for metal resists abrasion and minor impacts far better than soft single-pack paints, keeping the protective layer intact for longer.
Faster Turnaround for Projects
With a manageable pot life and predictable recoat window, contractors can plan spray, brush, or roller application without excessive downtime between coats — helping fabrication shops and site painters stick to project schedules while still achieving a professional, factory-grade finish.
Versatile Use Across Substrates
Because Star PU Paint Aurelia adheres well to primed metal, concrete, and properly prepared wood, project managers can standardise on one topcoat across multiple materials instead of juggling separate paint systems for each surface type.
How to Apply
Method of Application
Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, and contaminants. Remove rust or loose coatings through proper surface preparation, repair damaged areas with a compatible primer, and apply Star PU Paint Aurelia only over a suitable primed surface for maximum adhesion and protection.
Mixing
Mix the base and hardener components in the recommended ratio and stir thoroughly until a smooth, uniform mixture is achieved. Allow the mixture to rest if required and use within the specified pot life for optimum performance.
Application
Apply Star PU Paint Aurelia using airless spray, brush, or roller depending on the surface area and requirement. Maintain the recommended coating thickness, apply additional coats within the recoat window, and allow the coating to fully cure before exposing it to heavy use, moisture, or chemicals.

What Our Customers Say
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PU paint for metal used for?
Star PU Paint Aurelia is a two-component polyurethane topcoat used to protect steel, iron, and other metal surfaces from rust, chemicals, and weather while providing a high-gloss, long-lasting finish.
Is Star PU Paint Aurelia the same as regular enamel paint?
No. Unlike single-component enamel, Star PU Paint Aurelia is a PU enamel paint that cures through a chemical reaction between base and hardener, giving it superior durability, gloss retention, and chemical resistance compared to ordinary enamels.
Can PU paint for metal be applied directly on bare steel?
No. For best results, it should always be applied over a compatible anti-corrosive primer, since the primer provides rust protection while the topcoat delivers gloss, colour, and surface protection.
How long does polyurethane paint for metal take to dry?
Surface drying typically occurs within a few hours at room temperature, though full curing of this polyurethane paint for metal can take several days depending on humidity, temperature, and film thickness.
Can this PU enamel paint for metal be used outdoors?
Yes. It is specifically formulated to resist UV exposure, rain, and temperature swings, making it well suited for outdoor structures, gates, railings, and industrial equipment.
What surfaces besides metal can Star PU Paint Aurelia be applied to?
While it is widely used as a PU paint for metal, Star PU Paint Aurelia also adheres well to properly prepared concrete and wood surfaces.
How is PU paint for metal applied?
It can be applied by airless spray, brush, or roller, with airless spray generally recommended for large areas to achieve a smooth, even film at the correct thickness.
Does PU paint for metal require a specific mixing ratio?
Yes. The base and hardener must be combined in the manufacturer-specified ratio and mixed thoroughly before application to achieve proper curing and performance.
Why does polyurethane paint for metal cost more than standard enamel?
Its higher cost reflects the two-component chemistry, superior gloss retention, and stronger chemical and abrasion resistance, which reduce repainting frequency and long-term maintenance costs.
How many coats of PU enamel paint are recommended for metal surfaces?
Most applications require one to two coats of this PU enamel paint over a suitable primer to achieve the recommended dry film thickness and full protective performance.
