- The product is then baked with highest durability polyester powder.
- The final product is resistant to scratching, rust, and UV fading.
- Rust can occur where there are scratches or dings. Scratches should be promptly cleaned and sealed.
- High salt exposure in coastal regions may require a more consistent maintenance routine.
- Darker finishes retain more UV heat and may become warm to the touch.
Care + Maintenance
