Manufacturer of premium & economy range paints — Fiona & Fesco

Finishes for Wood, Metal, Doors & Grills

Doors, window grills, gates, furniture and structural steel all need a different kind of protection than a wall — corrosion resistance, gloss durability, and in the case of wood, a finish that respects the grain. Our Fesco wood and metal range covers the full sequence: primer, undercoat and topcoat, for both new metalwork and refinishing projects.

Buying guide — the right sequence

  1. New or rusted metal (grills, gates, structural steel): Start with Fesco Red Oxide Metal Primer for general anti-corrosive protection, or Fesco Zinc CH. YL. Metal Primer where stronger corrosion resistance is needed.
  2. Topcoat for metal: Fesco High Gloss Enamel for a durable, scratch-resistant shine.
  3. Industrial or utility metal surfaces: Fesco Black Japan for a quick-drying, hard-wearing black finish.
  4. New or bare wood (doors, frames, furniture): Fesco Wood Primer White seals the surface first.
  5. Finishing wood: Fesco Clear Varnish to enhance and protect the natural grain, or High Gloss Enamel for a solid-colour finish.

Frequently asked

Yes — always prime bare or rusted metal with an anti-corrosive primer (red oxide or zinc chromate) before applying enamel; skipping this step significantly shortens the finish's life.

Both are anti-corrosive metal primers; zinc chromate yellow primer generally offers stronger corrosion resistance for harsher exposure, while red oxide is a dependable general-purpose choice. Our team can advise based on your specific application.

Fesco Clear Varnish is suited to wood surfaces requiring a protective, natural-look finish — check the product page for specific interior/exterior recommendations before exterior wood application.
