Teamac Metalcote Machinery Enamel is a high-gloss anti-corrosive paint designed to protect metal surfaces including tractors, farm machinery, and industrial equipment from rust, UV degradation, chemical attack, and harsh outdoor environments. Unlike standard paints that fail under agricultural and industrial conditions, this solvent-based alkyd enamel provides durable protection against corrosion, oils, chemicals, and heat up to 130°C.

Developed by Teamac with decades of British coating expertise, Metalcote Machinery Enamel is the professional solution for restoring and protecting metal agricultural and industrial equipment. The high-gloss finish not only provides excellent corrosion protection but also creates a professional appearance that resists dirt, oil, and grease, making metal surfaces easier to clean and maintain.

When metal tractors and machinery are exposed to rain, mud, fertilisers, oils, and UV radiation, standard paints quickly deteriorate, leading to rust, corrosion, and costly repairs. Teamac Metalcote's anti-corrosive formulation blocks rust at the source, whilst the UV-resistant high-gloss finish prevents fading and chalking, keeping metal equipment looking professional for years.

The chemical-resistant formulation withstands exposure to oils, fuels, fertilisers, and agricultural chemicals that would damage standard paints. The high-gloss finish is easy to clean, shedding dirt and oil for reduced maintenance. Heat resistance up to 130°C makes it suitable for metal engine components and equipment that generates heat during operation.

Suitable for metal tractors, farm machinery, industrial equipment, construction machinery, metal fabrications, beams, railings, gates, and metalwork. Apply over Teamac Metalcote Primer Undercoat for best adhesion and durability. Available in popular tractor colours (Massey Ferguson Red, Ford Tractor Blue, John Deere Green, JCB Yellow) and custom RAL/BS colours for brand matching.

What is Teamac Metalcote Machinery Enamel and when should I use it?

Teamac Metalcote Machinery Enamel is a high-gloss anti-corrosive paint designed to protect metal surfaces including tractors, farm machinery, and industrial equipment from rust, UV degradation, chemical attack, and harsh outdoor environments. Use it for restoring and protecting metal agricultural and industrial equipment where corrosion protection, chemical resistance, and professional appearance are critical.

What are the key benefits of Metalcote Machinery Enamel?

Metalcote provides anti-corrosive protection (blocks rust on metal), UV resistance (prevents fading and chalking), chemical resistance (withstands oils, fuels, fertilisers), heat resistance (up to 130°C), and a durable high-gloss finish that resists dirt and oil for easier cleaning. Ideal for metal tractors and machinery in demanding outdoor environments.

Do I need to prime bare metal before applying Metalcote?

Yes, for bare metal surfaces, prime with Teamac Zinc Phosphate Primer first for maximum corrosion protection. Then apply Teamac Metalcote Primer Undercoat as a basecoat for optimal adhesion and durability. This system provides the best corrosion protection and ensures long-lasting results on metal.

Can I apply Metalcote over existing paint on metal?

Yes, you can apply Metalcote over existing paint on metal if the coating is sound and well-adhered. Remove any flaking or peeling paint, lightly abrade the metal surface to improve adhesion, and clean thoroughly with Coo-Var Degreaser. For areas with rust breakthrough, treat with Teamac Rust Converter and prime bare metal areas with Zinc Phosphate Primer.

What colours are available for Metalcote Machinery Enamel?

Metalcote is available in popular tractor colours including Massey Ferguson Red, Ford Tractor Blue, John Deere Green, Landrover Green, JCB Yellow, White, Black, Grey, and other standard colours. Custom RAL and BS colours are available for brand matching. Contact our experts for custom colour options.

How do I treat rust on metal before applying Metalcote?

Remove loose rust from metal with wire brush or rust remover. For stubborn rust, treat with Teamac Rust Converter which chemically converts rust to a stable surface. Clean with Coo-Var Degreaser, then prime with Teamac Zinc Phosphate Primer and apply Teamac Metalcote Primer Undercoat before topcoating with Metalcote.

How many coats of Metalcote do I need on metal?

For best corrosion protection and durability on metal, apply 2 coats over Teamac Metalcote Primer Undercoat. Allow minimum 8 hours or overnight between coats. The two-coat system provides complete coverage, maximum corrosion protection, and a professional high-gloss finish.

How long does Metalcote take to dry?

Touch dry in 2 hours, hard dry in 8 hours at 20°C. Allow minimum 8 hours or overnight before recoating. Full cure is 7 days. Drying times may be extended in cooler temperatures or high humidity.

Can I spray Metalcote Machinery Enamel?

Yes, you can spray Metalcote using airless sprayer or HVLP spray gun. Thin with Thinners 14 (up to 10% by volume) for spray application. Ensure good ventilation and wear appropriate PPE. Brush and roller application do not require thinning - apply as supplied.

Is Metalcote heat resistant?

Yes, Metalcote is heat resistant up to 130°C, making it suitable for metal engine components and equipment that generates heat during operation. The coating maintains adhesion and appearance at elevated temperatures.

How much coverage can I expect from Metalcote?

Metalcote provides approximately 12 m² per litre per coat. A 1L tin covers 12 m², and a 2.5L tin covers 30 m². Coverage may vary depending on metal surface texture and application method. We recommend ordering 10–15% extra for surface variation and touch-ups.

Is Metalcote chemical resistant?

Yes, Metalcote is chemical resistant and withstands exposure to oils, fuels, fertilisers, and agricultural chemicals on metal surfaces. The formulation resists chemical attack that would damage standard paints, making it ideal for agricultural and industrial metal equipment.

Is Metalcote suitable for outdoor use on metal?

Yes, Metalcote is designed for interior and exterior use on metal tractors, farm machinery, and industrial equipment. The UV-resistant formulation prevents fading and chalking on metal in outdoor conditions, whilst the anti-corrosive properties protect against rain, mud, and harsh environments.

What products do I need to complete my metal machinery restoration?

We recommend using Teamac Rust Converter for treating stubborn rust on metal, Coo-Var Degreaser for cleaning metal surfaces, Teamac Zinc Phosphate Primer for bare metal, Teamac Metalcote Primer Undercoat as basecoat, and professional Brushes, Rollers and Trays for application. This complete system ensures maximum corrosion protection and professional results on metal.
