Two layers of primer and three of the coating resulted in a copper hue.

Dura Industries and Valspar teamed up to create and coat the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture’s façade. For the first time in company history, Dura said it implemented a hand-painted five-coat system. Dura’s production team hand-coated 3,600 metal wall panels in order to achieve the desired shade: a copper hue. The panels were painted with the five-coat system, described by Dura as: two layers of primer and three of the coating. The base color, African Sunrise, was selected by the Smithsonian design team. Valspar provided multiple custom colors of its Fluropon® exterior architectural coating. That was then mixed in to become part of what Dura dubbed the Artisan 3.5 coating. The five-coat system was necessary to create an even appearance on the rough surface of the sand-casted aluminum metal wall panels, according to Dura, which said it blends 70 percent of its coatings in-house. The museum is located at 1400 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20560. Image courtesy Wikipedia.org/User:Fuzheado
