Coated Metals Group, Madison, Wis., announced the unveiling of its latest color: Western Rust. Western Rust is a double-passed Kynar product that is meant to replicate the aesthetic properties of related products such as Corten-A606 and CRCQ Cold Roll. A few of the advantages that Western Rust has are its 20-year warranty, substantial cost savings and the simple fact that it does not rust. Western Rust is currently offered in 24-gauge full-strength Kynar, however, custom gauges and widths are available based upon quantity.
