Colored Metal Sheet

Our colored metal sheets feature substrates including galvanized steel, galvalume steel, cold-rolled steel, and aluminum. These high-performance decorative metal materials are produced through roll coating or composite organic film (PVC/PET) processes, followed by high-temperature curing.

Boasting strong decorative appeal, corrosion resistance, ease of processing, and low maintenance requirements, these panels retain the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of their base materials while enhancing both protective performance and aesthetic appeal. They find extensive applications across multiple sectors including construction, home appliances, automotive, transportation infrastructure, electronics, and furniture.

Features

Our colored metal sheet products incorporate two distinct manufacturing processes: roll coating or organic film lamination. Each process yields a different product, with characteristics outlined below:

Pre-painted Metal Sheets

• Exceptional Durability: The coating exhibits strong adhesion to the metal substrate, offering robust corrosion resistance. Combined with the surface paint layer (particularly PVDF coating), it delivers superior weather resistance and corrosion resistance, ensuring a service life exceeding 20 years.
• Flexible Color Customization: Supports the full RAL color chart with custom color options. Offers a wide range of gloss levels—from high-gloss to semi-matte to full-matte—to meet diverse aesthetic requirements across industries.
• Excellent Processability: Retains the substrate’s original mechanical properties after pre-painting, featuring good ductility. Can undergo bending, stamping, shearing, and forming operations without compromising the paint coating.
• Ideal for Large-Scale and Outdoor Applications: Provides a comprehensive solution for large industrial plants, public building roofs and facades, appliance housings, and other applications demanding weather resistance, processability, and cost control.

Laminated Coated Metal Panels

• Realistic Surface Finish: Composite PVC, PET, and other high-performance organic films can replicate wood grain, stone patterns, leather textures, matte finishes, mirror effects, and more. These textures offer strong dimensionality with zero color variation for exceptional realism.
• Exceptional Scratch and Chemical Resistance: The surface film achieves a hardness rating of 3H or higher, offering outstanding scratch resistance. It is also waterproof, moisture-resistant, and resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, making it suitable for high-frequency use scenarios.
• Diverse Textured Surfaces and Functional Films: Capable of producing brushed, embossed, and 3D patterns with pronounced tactile depth. Functional films like antibacterial or anti-fingerprint coatings can be laminated to meet specialized requirements in medical, laboratory, and high-end appliance applications.
• Exceptional stability: The film is bonded to the substrate via high-temperature, high-pressure lamination. It exhibits broad temperature tolerance, resisting shrinkage or deformation from thermal fluctuations. The film itself possesses excellent anti-aging properties, offering a longer service life than pre-painted metal panels.
• Ideal for Premium Decor: An excellent choice for subway interiors, branded retail stores, high-end office spaces, hotels, and custom furniture where unique aesthetics, durability, easy cleaning, and indoor environmental standards are prioritized.

How to choose between these two options?

• If the project has a limited budget and requires large-area coverage, pre-painted panels (especially HDP grade) typically offer better value for money.
• For achieving special visual effects like wood grain, stone patterns, or 3D textures, laminated panels deliver more realistic results, stronger decorative impact, and greater durability.
• Although laminated metal panels have a higher initial cost, their exceptional durability and maintenance-free properties reduce long-term expenses in high-end projects.

Colors and Film Types/Patterns

Popular Colors

Colors are primarily based on the RAL color chart, with common options including Cement Gray, Signal Blue, Traffic Red, Deep Gray Black, Pearl White, Silver Gray, and Champagne Gold.

Our best-selling colors include RAL 3009, RAL 3020, RAL 5005, RAL 7016, RAL 7033, RAL 7035, RAL 9002, RAL 9003, RAL 9006, RAL 9010, etc. If your desired color is not available in the RAL chart, we offer custom matching. Please mail us a sample, and we will produce the film based on your color reference.

Paint and lifespan

Paint type	Service life
PE	7-8 years
SMP	10-12 years
HDP	15+ years
PVDF	20+ years
1. The top and back paints can be different. 2. Moreover, Wanzhi commonly adopts twice the painting for a double-sided. 3. If you have special requirements, please let us know.

Color sheet metal substrate and characteristics

Substrate Type	Core Advantages	Key Performance Characteristics	Best Application Scenarios
Galvanized Steel (GI)	The king of economy and versatility, achieving the optimal balance between corrosion resistance and cost.	The zinc coating weight typically ranges from 30-275 g/m², providing excellent corrosion resistance.	Industrial factory roofs, warehouse walls, appliance casings, building interiors in dry environments, and general storage structures.
Galvalume Steel (55% Al-Zn)	Superior corrosion and heat resistance, providing 2-6 times the overall protection life of galvanized steel.	The aluminum-zinc alloy coating (55% Al, 43.4% Zn, 1.6% Si) combines the weather resistance of aluminum with the sacrificial protection of zinc.	Coastal/industrial area building roofs and exterior walls, highly corrosive environments (livestock farming, chemical industry), and heat-resistant components (chimney linings).
Aluminum Sheet (Al)	Extremely lightweight and weather-resistant, inherently rust-resistant, and easy to form into complex shapes.	The density is only 1/3 that of steel, and common alloy grades include 3003, 3004, and 5052, each with varying strength and formability.	High-end building curtain walls, hotel ceilings, vehicle interiors, and weight-sensitive mobile equipment.
Cold Rolled Steel (CR)	Excellent flatness and formability, providing an ideal substrate for deep processing and perfect paint finishes.	No coating is applied; the surface is clean. A wide range of yield strengths is available.	Appliance panels requiring deep drawing (refrigerator doors, washing machine drums), indoor furniture, and as core material for composite panels.

Tips for extending its life

1. Correct installation: During loading and unloading, avoid damage to the product paint film, surface contamination, and collision.

2. Reasonable storage and transportation: During storage, avoid violent sliding between layers to avoid scratches. In addition, the use environment should be away from corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents.

3. Daily maintenance and care: Regular cleaning to remove dirt and chemicals. Do not use corrosive detergents when cleaning. If rust spots appear, they should be scraped off, brushed, or sprayed quickly, and the surface should be kept dry.

4. Material and process optimization: When selecting materials, the use environment should be fully considered, and surface treatment should be performed during processing, such as spraying anti-corrosion paint, which can increase the sealing, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and rust resistance of metal parts.

5. Avoid high temperature: High temperature may cause the color of colored metal plates to change or fade, so it should be avoided as much as possible.
