Dan Keenan Paint Company has been the trusted specialist for wrought iron painting and restoration across Dallas-Fort Worth since 1992. Our metal finishing process is fundamentally different from standard residential painting: every surface must be derusted, chemically treated, and primed with a corrosion-inhibiting primer before any finish coat is applied. We work on estate gates, perimeter fencing, driveway entry systems, balcony rails, pool fencing, and decorative metalwork of all scales. Whether your ironwork needs a full restoration or a fresh top coat to extend its life, we bring the right products and technical expertise for lasting results.

Our Wrought Iron Painting Process in Arlington

We test every Arlington metal surface for coating adhesion using cross-hatch testing before and after application. This quantitative verification ensures our system meets the performance specifications of our 5-year rust-free guarantee. Our annual metal maintenance programs for Arlington properties near AT&T Stadium include seasonal wrought iron, steel, and aluminum inspections across Viridian and Interlochen traditional brick suburban homes estates. We catch early oxidation before it compromises the 1960s–2010s-era ironwork — addressing spots with targeted touch-up rather than full-system recoating. The streets around AT&T Stadium showcase some of the finest traditional brick suburban homes in North Texas. We've been privileged to maintain many of these properties, developing proprietary prep methods that preserve their unique detailing. Arlington's entertainment district commercial buildings present unique surface challenges that our experienced crews handle daily. Our iron painting process starts with mechanical wire-wheel removal of all surface rust, followed by application of a phosphoric acid metal prep solution to convert remaining rust and etch the surface for adhesion. All joints, welds, and crevices are detailed by hand with a brush before spray or brush application of a two-component epoxy primer. We allow full cure time before applying the finish coat — never rushing the process for the sake of a schedule.
