Our Radiator Restoration Process
As the leading radiator restoration company in the northeast, Metal Man Restoration is dedicated to providing our clients with unique and high-quality restoration services. Our radiator restoration process is designed to ensure customer satisfaction, with every detail meticulously taken care of.
Digital Documentation
Our process starts with taking digital photographs of the radiators for inventory and future documentation.
Hot Caustic Acid Tank
The radiators are then submerged in a hot caustic acid tank to remove paint, grime, and minor surface rust hidden on the inside and outside inner fins. Our experienced staff carefully handles the process to ensure the radiators are not damaged.
Overnight Soak
The radiators stay in the tank overnight to ensure that all the paint, grime, and minor rust inside and outside is completely removed from the radiators. Once complete, the radiators are removed from the tank, and we power wash them on the exterior to remove all cleaner and remaining paint and flush the inside of the radiators with clean water.
Chemical Stripping
The radiators are chemically stripped to assist with the paint removal and to clean the internals of the radiator.
Sandblasting
Next, the radiator is sandblasted throughout the exterior to remove all the rust and any remaining paint for proper paint adhesive.
Priming
The radiator is then primed with a PPG epoxy rust inhibitor primer to ensure that the radiator will not rust and acts as a suitable adhesive for the PPG polyurethane paint (we can match any color you choose along with providing swaths from Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore).
Polyurethane Paint
Finally, the radiator is sprayed with three coats of PPG polyurethane paint (the color of your choice) using our HVLP paint system. The result is a beautifully restored radiator that looks like new.
Color and Finishing Options
We can match any color, including Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams colors. We also offer a full line of Metallic powders which simulate a metal finish like brass, bronze, copper, and antique finishes. Another option we offer is radiator polishing and patination. We are able to polish and patina the cast iron metal on a radiator.
