A metallic coating is a type of coating that contains a metallic powder or inert mixture. It is applied to equipment that requires a shiny or glossy appearance and protection from sunlight, corro-sion, and oxidation. Metallic coatings can be applied using a sprayer, roller and brush. The coating forms a corrosion-resistant protective layer that can withstand harsh environmental conditions by changing the surface properties of the material on which it is applied
