How to Choose Color of Pre-painted Steel?

   

The exposure tests (8 years of exposure to the sun in SHANDONG Province) of the same paint and different colors show that the light color paint has less discoloration. The following table shows the exposure test results of different colors.

There will be color differences if you use prepainted steel sheets from different manufacturers or batches in the same construction projects. The color may look the same or similar during construction, but there will be serious color differences after several years. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to order the same batch for the same project at one time. Different batches even from the same supplier may use different paints, which will increase the possibility of color difference.

Coating Gloss

The choice of coating gloss is mainly according to the use purposes. For example, medium and low gloss color coated steel is mainly for construction uses; while high gloss color-coated steel is mainly for home appliance uses. 

 Conclusion

The color of pre-painted steel can be customized according to the RAL color card. Generally, the different colors have little difference in price. Also, you can choose different finishes, such as matte, gloss, embossed, etc. You can choose based on the architectural style, use purpose, and your preference.
