At 1400 Page Mill Road in Palo Alto, CA, the office building’s metal railings needed a custom-color finish that would complement the modern architecture while standing up to the elements. To achieve a seamless aesthetic and long-term durability, the project relied on DTM 1300 High-Build Primer and PC3 Solvent-Based Polyurethane, a powerful combination for color retention and metal protection.

The metal railings at the main and side entrances serve both a functional and visual purpose. The project required a custom-tinted color to blend perfectly with the building’s contemporary design.

Applying a high-performance primer is critical for achieving a durable and even topcoat; that’s why DTM 1300 High-Build Primer was used as the first layer on the metal railings.

DTM 1300 ensures that PC3 bonds properly, creating a smooth, uniform base that enhances the final color and protection. DTM 1300 fills in imperfections in the metal base to help PC3 adhere to the substrate properly.

DTM 1300 Features:

✔ Superior adhesion to metal surfaces

✔ Smooths imperfections for a flawless topcoat

✔ Enhances long-term durability and color retention

With PC3’s customizable finish, the railings were coated in a precisely matched color while benefiting from PC3’s superior protective properties, ensuring the finish would stay vibrant for years without fading or peeling.

PC3 Features:

✔ Custom tinting for a perfect color match

✔ UV-resistant formula prevents fading

✔ Long-lasting finish that resists wear & tear

✔ Durable protection against weather & environmental exposure

By combining DTM 1300 and PC3 Solvent-Based Polyurethane, the metal railings at 1400 Page Mill Road now have a custom-color finish that looks great and lasts. PC3’s advanced formula ensures that the color remains crisp, vibrant, and protected from UV rays, moisture, and daily wear.
