After 25 years of service life, the factory-applied coating on the metal roof at Central Middle School in Dobson, North Carolina, had begun to flake and peel off. To avoid further damage to the roof, the school embarked on a repainting project using NeverFade^® Exterior Paints with Kynar Aquatec^®, a PVDF-based paint featuring super-strong carbon-fluorine bonds that do not break down under exposure to the elements.

NeverFade^® Metal Restoration Topcoat is engineered for coated or uncoated ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. It resists the harmful effects of UV degradation such as fading, erosion, and chalking. It also safeguards against salt spray and corrosion, protects against a wide range of abrasions, and has exceptional resistance to algae, mold and fungal growth, dirt pickup, and stains. It is water-based and low in VOCs, meeting SCAQMD Rule 1113.

APV offers a 15-year product-and-labor guarantee that NeverFade^® will not fade by a Delta E of five or higher. Transferable to future building owners, the guarantee is unique to the architectural coatings industry.
