Arc Mercy Community San Francisco, CA

At Arc Mercy Community in San Francisco, CA, protecting and maintaining the appearance of their facility’s metal gate and entrance was a top priority. As a high-traffic area exposed to the city’s variable weather, the metal surfaces needed long-term protection that could also deliver a polished, professional look. That’s why the project team selected a proven coating system from Precision Coatings Inc., DTM 1600, as the primer and PC6 as the topcoat.

DTM 1600 was the perfect choice for the first step in the process. It’s a low-odor, waterborne urethane bonding primer designed to deliver strong adhesion to metal, masonry, and more. Plus, its corrosion-resistant properties and UV resistance make it ideal for busy environments exposed to the elements. Using DTM 1600 ensured the PC6 topcoat would bond tightly to the metal, helping extend the life of the finish and reducing long-term maintenance needs.

Once primed, the team applied PC6, a waterborne urethane topcoat. This product is known for its low odor and low VOC formula, making it a great choice for use around occupied buildings. PC6 offers superior UV protection, color retention, and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and weathering. Not only does it shield the metal gate and entryway from everyday wear and tear, it also gives the entrance a crisp, professional finish that will look great for years to come.

By pairing DTM 1600 with PC6, Arc Mercy Community achieved a long-lasting, professional-grade finish that enhances the property’s appearance while standing up to San Francisco’s demanding environment.
