BlueScope Steel does not recommend the use of touch up paints on COLORBOND® steel.

The manufacturing process that gives COLORBOND® steel its colour and gloss retention properties means that the surface weathers differently to air-drying paint. After weathering, the areas which have been touched up will look different and can leave a blotchy look.

For more information on this we recommend reading our technical bulletin here.
