What color can I use to touch up the frame?

Touching Up with RAL 7016 Anthracite Gray Metal Paint

The Ekodome frame is a metal paint in a matte finish called RAL 7016 Anthracite Gray.

Touching up your Ekodome framework with RAL 7016 Anthracite Gray metal paint can be a straightforward process to address potential scratches and normal wear and tear.

However, it's essential to note that the color application in the factory involves a unique powder coating process. As a result, the outcome of a touch-up may not perfectly match the original color due to variations in application methods.

For the best results, consider using this guide for occasional touch-ups rather than aiming for a complete color makeover. Testing the paint on a smaller, less visible area before applying it to the entire framework ensures you are satisfied with the color and finish.

• Choosing the Right Color:

RAL 7016 Anthracite Gray is a sophisticated and versatile color choice that complements the sleek and modern design of Ekodomes. This color not only adds a touch of elegance but also seamlessly blends with various surroundings.

• Metal Paint Selection:

When it comes to touching up the Ekodome framework, it's crucial to opt for a metal paint that matches the specifications. RAL 7016 Anthracite Gray is readily available in various forms, including sprays and bottle-brush options.

• Matte Finish Appeal:

Choosing a matte finish ensures a subtle and non-reflective surface, contributing to the contemporary aesthetic of Ekodomes. The absence of gloss provides a smooth, even appearance, making it an excellent choice for touch-ups without compromising the original design.

• DTM (Direct-to-Metal) Option:

Consider a DTM (Direct-to-Metal) paint option for your touch-up project. DTM paints are designed with anti-corrosive properties, eliminating the need for a primer beforehand. This simplifies the application process and ensures a durable, long-lasting finish.

• Compatibility with Metal Surfaces:

DTM options are versatile and can be applied directly to the aluminum surface of Ekodomes. This versatility streamlines the touch-up process, allowing you to revitalize your Ekodome framework with ease.

• Application Process:
  • Surface Preparation: Clean the framework surface thoroughly to remove any dust, dirt, or contaminants. Ensure the surface is dry before proceeding.
  • Test Application: Before applying the paint to the entire area, test it on a smaller, less visible area to see how it looks. This step ensures that you are satisfied with the color and finish before applying it to a larger area.
  • Application: Follow the instructions on the chosen RAL 7016 Anthracite Gray metal paint product. Whether using a spray or a bottle and brush, apply the paint evenly across the framework, covering any areas that require touch-up.
  • Drying Time: Allow the paint to dry completely according to the product guidelines. Ensure proper ventilation during the drying process.
  • Enjoy the Refreshed Look: Once the paint has dried, step back and admire the refreshed look of your Ekodome framework, now seamlessly integrated with the timeless Anthracite Gray hue.
