The ALEXSEAL® Metallic System provides a brilliant metallic effect, great distinction of image, and long-term UV resistance.

Alexseal Metallic System consists of a 2-component metallic base coat followed by a a required 2-component clear topcoat.
This Metallic System is best suited for coating larger surface areas, where its faster drying time is an advantage in minimizing coating defects.
