A beautiful awning over any commercial property acts like a billboard to attract the eye of potential customers. The weather and elements in Boston and nearby towns cause awnings to fade or deteriorate. Painting and repairing damage to your awning keeps your property looking sharp and sends the message that your business cares about the details.

An Investment Worth Keeping

For many commercial property owners near Boston, awnings are a long-lasting investment. The cost of replacing an awning can be expensive. Reconsider replacing your awning as it is made of metal, aluminum, vinyl, or wood and may simply need a fresh coat of paint.

Metal Awning Painting FAQs

What Kind of Paint Do You Use on Metal Awnings?

Use an oil-based paint over a premium primer. We suggest using two coats of paint. You'll want to wait until the first coat of paint is completely dry to the touch before applying the second coat of paint.

What Is the Best Primer for an Outdoor Metal Awning?

A premium primer designed for painting metal such as Rust-Oleum is the best choice for an outdoor metal awning. After gently sanding the metal surface with a 180-grit sandpaper apply the primer with a few thin coats. Allow each primer coat to dry completely before applying the next coat.

How Do You Prepare a Metal Awning for Painting?

After detaching, use a wire brush to remove stubborn dirt and areas where the metal has corroded. Patch any small holes with a metal patching compound such as Alvin metal repair putty. Allow the putty to fully cure before proceeding. Once the putty is dry, lightly sand the entire surface with 180 grit sandpaper. Use a rust treatment or other metal cleaner made to treat rust to thoroughly clean the surface. Then your metal awning is ready for painting.
