The Finish System
Valspar WeatherXL Painted Metal
From homes to commercial buildings, our metal panels come in a wide range of lasting colors to match your vision. Metal Warehouse Inc. finishes its painted panels in the Valspar WeatherXL system, a factory-applied metal coating known for holding its color in the North Texas sun and weather.
WeatherXL is a silicone-modified polyester (SMP) coil coating applied in two coats over a pre-treated substrate. It is engineered for strong resistance to scratching, chalking, fading, and weathering, and is available in a wide palette that runs from bright white to jet black, including solar-reflective (SR) formulations that meet ENERGY STAR and LEED criteria.
