Yes, You Can Paint Steel Buildings: A Guide to Exterior Painting with Sherwin Williams Products

Hello from the team at Colorful Concepts Painting! One question we often hear from our customers is, "Can you paint steel buildings?" The answer is a resounding yes, and today, we're going to explain how we do it using Sherwin Williams' Pro Cryl Primer and Sher Cryl top coat.


Steel buildings are renowned for their durability and strength, but that doesn't mean they can't benefit from a fresh coat of paint. A high-quality paint system not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your steel building but also adds an extra layer of protection against the elements.

The Process of Painting Steel Buildings:

  1. The first step in our process is applying Sherwin Williams' Pro Cryl Primer. This rust-inhibitive primer is designed specifically for steel surfaces, providing excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance. It's the perfect foundation, ensuring that the top coat adheres properly and enhances the overall durability of the paint system.

  2. After the Pro Cryl Primer has dried, we apply the Sher Cryl top coat. This high-performance acrylic coating is known for its excellent color and gloss retention, making it ideal for exterior applications. It's resistant to moisture, UV rays, and corrosion, ensuring your steel building looks great for years to come.


At Colorful Concepts Painting, we're committed to using only the best products to deliver the best results. With Sherwin Williams' Pro Cryl Primer and Sher Cryl top coat, we can provide a paint system for steel buildings that not only looks fantastic but also stands the test of time.
