Steel deck paint colors
So the hardware store where i bought the gloss black rustoleum still has the entire color range EXCEPT black. I might return the gallon i have and get my $70 back. If anyone on this boards wants it i can hold it.

Looking for images of brownstone steel decks that aren’t painted black – who has the goods? The interwebs is failing us.

Black is a classic finish for exterior iron work. Painted Iron Decks and Railings need maintenance every 6 years. This includes wire-brushing, priming and top-coating. Rust areas that appear before 6 years are easily touched up with basic-black paint. The only colors that camouflage completely are within the Burnt Sienna family. See The Barclay’s Center structure’s color. [IMG_0270](//muut.com/u/brownstoner/s1/:brownstoner:bt0y:img_0270.jpg.jpg)

just so people know. they outlawed gallons of oil base paint in NYS as of July of 2022. they allow quarts to come in (it is not that gallons are outlawed, it is by the amount of VOC’s emitted). Ben Moore stopped sending quarts to NYS pending reformulation to meet voc. I am not sure what Rustoleum has done. I am not sure if ben moore has worked around this yet.
I called Fine Paints of Europe and asked what they were doing about this and they told me they have been bypassing these laws with LA COunty for years by labeling their oil base paint “sign enamel” and will do that here as well. I wrote to ben moore and asked them if they could simply relabel their product as “sign enamel” and they said they have no intention of doing anything like that (as if i were wrong to suggest by-passing a law).
The sales rep for Ben Moore told me that it will not be long before we no longer have oil based paints.

Yes, and the wood sealers that contained linseed oil bases are not being supplied to NY distributors anymore. Brooklyn distributors can not get Rustoleum.

My understanding was some of this was still avail in nj. They are not in the same epa district.
I have a new gallon of rustoleum gloss black here if anyone needs. It was an impulse buy and i realized i am only delaying the inevitable by having it.

if you want that gallon of rustoleum you can have it for what i paid for it. here is the thing, i think it was $75.00. i bought it on impulse after i heard what happen with the laws ( i bought it in like september 22) and as soon as the laws changed the stock on the shelf shot up from like 59 to 75. i think. i really don’t want to make money off someone for something that i did not purchase to resell. if you want to give me 75 for it, ok. but i might be able to find it listed on the invoice from the hardware store or the owner might tell me what these last sold for if none are left. i think it is gloss. i was going to return it. i do want it gone though, its in my way. so let me know because i might run it back to the store. she’d probably love to have a gallon for some special customer.

Listen. I do not know how true this is but years ago someone told me glossy products are more durable. Resist water more.
Carriage: i think they still have it in jersey. We can rent a uhaul and bring bootleg paint over here and sell it on the black market 400 a gallon. Next to the drug dealers, street walkers, and loose cigarette dealers.

I’m pretty sure exterior glossy paint levels down to ‘flat’ from exposure to weather.
Methinks hawking goods on the street has its pitfalls. ‘They’ even pick up the pineapple vendors in the subway now…

You can get tackled by the police for selling loosies.
Jh, if you want this gallon it is here. It will flatten and you can add flateners to it.

Thanks all, great discussion. Stoopsitter, yes galvanized will spare you hassle of repainting, but “raw” galvinized is so rough on the feet. At least painted gives you the option of not having to put shoes on. So the trade off is a specific one.

Or, use a galvanized structure with wood or modern non wood planking surface.
