Does that come in a satin finish, and can it be painted directly over shiny oil surfaces.

thanks

I don't recall DTM coming in satin...

and latex is fine over oil, but I would be at least scuffing and wiping

may have to give it a try

thanks

The BM that used to be Ironclad was renamed DTM and comes in a low lustre finish.

I would never put latex over oil.

I like to use marine enamel high gloss. But it's illegal to use unless your using it industrial now. Gotta find a replacement to

Doesn't DTM have the same properties as industrial enamel except it's latex instead of oil? I know its made to go over metal but I also know they sell a DTM Primer/Finish which would be good if you want to go with flat.

BM DTM or Rustoleum? Had good luck with both

It has been almost six years Dave, I think an update to how it went is due.

Could of saved me from changing my number from all the pissed off customers.


I did not bump it but now it is entertaining.

I like to color the rails of iron by grey color, it suits to my house color and I think it's a common color for railings.
