STEEL-IT Returns as Supporting Sponsor of The Great American Off-Road Race 

Protect your vehicle’s critical parts with 316L stainless steel STEEL-IT

The Mint 400 today announced its continued partnership with STEEL-IT, the manufacturer of specialized high-performance metallic coatings developed to protect a vehicle’s critical parts.

STEEL-IT will be displaying its line of highly anticorrosive protective coatings at the massive Odyssey Battery Mint 400 Tech & Contingency right in the middle of downtown Las Vegas on Fremont St. East on Thursday, March 8th, and Friday, March 10th. STEEL-IT will also be displayed on race day at The Primm Valley Mint 400 Start/Finish line in Primm, NV behind Buffalo Bill’s.

STEEL-IT is applied just like paint either from aerosol cans or by using standard spray equipment. The coating has a burnished stainless steel looking finish that doesn’t chip or flake. Top teams are using a STEEL-IT to solve the shortcomings of raw steel and powder coating by providing a rugged barrier against rust and corrosion that also allows them to weld directly on the coating itself. Unseen by the naked eye, the microscopic stainless steel flakes align on the surface to form a tightly overlapping, pure 316L stainless steel barrier wall. This stainless steel shield makes materials coated with STEEL-IT nearly impervious to rust and corrosive elements while providing a durable finish that holds up under the most challenging conditions.

“Last year, STEEL-IT came to The Mint 400 and I think it clicked right away. It’s is one of those products that almost makes too much sense and its applications are endless. We put our vehicles through some of the nastiest terrains on the planet. We should all be protecting them using products like STEEL-IT and it’s rare that a single product can provide such protection, appearance, simple application, and fast repairs,” said Mint 400 CEO, Matt Martelli.

STEEL-IT supports many of today’s top desert teams such as Rob MacCachren, Billy Wilson, Luke & Dan McMillin, Camburg Racing, Brenthel Industries, Jeff Proctor and Marc Burnett. Each racer entered in the 2018 BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400 powered by Monster Energy will receive a free can of STEEL-IT to try it for themselves.
Come and visit STEEL-IT at Contingency and check out their full line of products Thursday, March 8th and Friday, March 9th at the Odyssey Battery Tech & Contingency on Fremont Street East and Saturday, March 10th at the Primm Valley Mint 400 Start/Finish in Primm, NV directly behind Buffalo Bills Casino.
