DMR Gutters Pre-painted Colors for Aluminum Sheet Metal Page

Any product is only as good as it's weakest link, and that would be the paint finish. The aluminum sheet metal I get is pre-painted with these colors as described above in this photo copy. It has a baked on enamel finish that is better than anything that could be painted on afterwards. Even better than the touch-up paint they sell us for these. They can be painted to match your house, but we do not have access to a primer coat gutter metal.

I feel it should be a matter of customer service to offer the color of pre-painted gutters and downspouts that would look best on your house. I would rather that you were happy with the results when I am finished, so the new gutters look like they were meant to go on your house, so I do not charge extra for alternative colors.

Concerns You may want to consider:
Most gutter contractors only stock gutter parts for a gutter coil with Gloss White on one side and a Satin Musket Brown on the other side. This is so they only have to stock these 2 colors in the downspouts parts and just flip the pre-painted gutter coil around for the color side of choice to be on the outside of the gutter.

(a) They usually will not offer any other colors, or they will compel you to go with their slim selection by charging you a lot more for alternative colors. This is to save them the trouble of making a special trip to their supplier to get the right color for you, but it does not cost them any more for those parts.

(b) For some odd reason most gutter contractors get the high gloss white. It is the only color that is made in high gloss. The other colors are all satin paint. More like most house or trim paint.

(c) Many Homeowners have been well trained to choose white, claiming it is a good match for any house trim color you may have, but light colors will show the build-up of mildew more readily than a darker color.

(d) These paints can be painted over, but it would require a lot of added labor and cost to paint the new gutters the color you want. For touch-up it is recommended to use a light bodied spray paint, as opposed to a thick and lumpy house paint. Years latter it is not going to leave such a thick peal, which may be more trouble and costly to scrape smooth than it is to replace the gutters. We can sell you cans of matching paint, but it will fade much faster than the original paint:
