AR400 Champagne Metallic is formulated to produce a smooth, metallic coverage with excellent abrasion and corrosion resistant properties. The low volatile organic compound product was created with sustainability in mind.

Our AR400 series including the new Champagne Metallic coating meets or exceeds the American Architectural Manufacturers Association 2604 standard for high performance organic coatings on aluminum extrusions and panels.
