What it’s for
Benjamin Moore HP is made for surfaces that take more than ordinary wear: steel railings and gates, metal doors, equipment, block walls and concrete floors. We reach for it wherever wall paint would wear through or rust would return.
For most metal, begin with Command, a one-part waterborne urethane in gloss or satin. It is dry to the touch in 15 minutes and back in use the next day. Bare steel gets Acrylic Metal Primer first. Galvanized, aluminum and other slick metals take Waterborne Bonding Primer, or Command on its own.
A garage or shop floor is built in layers: degrease, prime the concrete, then epoxy. Epoxy yellows and chalks in sunlight, so wherever the sun reaches it, a non-yellowing urethane goes on top. Heat also shortens epoxy’s working time. A mix that lasts seven hours at 77°F lasts three at 100°F, so in a closed Arizona garage, mix small batches and begin early.
Much of the line is two-part and made for professional painters and facility crews. Tell us the surface and how it is used, and we will lay out the system: what goes first, what goes on top, and when it returns to service.
