Discover The Right Paint To Get The Job Done Right

As you can see, this isn't just another sheet offering—it's a complete solution built on stock, speed, and reliability.



We highlight how our different profiles, finishes, and services come together to create a roofing solution that performs efficiently, installs reliably, and most importantly, protects your investment.

The Principles Behind NJR Steel Paint


The core principle of NJR Paint is simple: Maximum Protection, Minimum Prep. Our paints are engineered for the unique challenges of steel surfaces and are made for the elements.


 We provide a system that delivers a fast, clean, and reliable finish, ensuring your steelwork is protected against corrosion and weathering, extending its lifespan and maintaining its look.

A Range for Every Steel Surface


We offer a full spectrum of coatings to suit just about any steel surface or job type, giving you the flexibility to choose the right solution:

Solvent-Based Coatings are traditional, tough, and durable for reliable, long-term protection.



Water-Based Coatings provide modern options for various applications.


We also carry 2-in-1 Combo Paints—the ultimate solution for speed and performance.

The Pro-Steel 2-in-1 Advantage


Our flagship combination product is the Pro-Steel 2-in-1. It's the ultimate time-saver:


  • One Coat, One Product: It combines a powerful anti-corrosion primer with a durable enamel topcoat. Job done.


  • Cuts Prep Time: It bonds straight to bare steel, significantly reducing the time and effort required for preparation.


  • Long-Lasting: This is ideal for outdoor steelwork like fencing, gates, trailers, and frames, providing reliable, long-lasting protection.

Specialised Coatings Built to Perform


Beyond our general-purpose range, we stock specialty coatings designed for specific needs:


For preparing smooth, difficult-to-paint surfaces, we offer Metal Etch Primer, which ensures maximum paint adhesion on substrates like galvanized steel.


If you require a robust, traditional rust barrier, our Red Oxide Primer is the industry standard for an anti-corrosion base layer. Finally, our range of Vibrant Topcoats provides the finishing layer—durable, attractive, and weather-resistant colour for your structures.

The Strength of the System


A finish is only as strong as its foundation, which is why we offer a full range of coatings—primers, specialty coatings, and topcoats—designed to work together seamlessly.


Whether you choose a simple Pro-Steel 2-in-1 application or a multi-stage system using a specialty primer followed by a durable topcoat, our products ensure there are no weak spots in your steel's protective layer. Our paints are formulated for fast, clean, reliable application, making your job easier.

We recently wrapped up our NJR Made of Steel DIY Challenge, and we were absolutely blown away by the incredible creativity and craftsmanship that South Africans brought to the table. We asked you to show us what you could build, and you truly delivered. One thing, in particular, became crystal clear: South Africans love to braai. It’s no secret that the braai is a core part of our national identity. It’s where we gather, where we celebrate, and where we share stories.  This passion was the undeniable theme of our competition, with the vast majority of entries being some form of a custom-built, one-of-a-kind DIY braai. From complex smokers to portable wonders and everything in-between, the entries made the entire competition feel uniquely South African. We at NJR Steel were incredibly impressed by the ingenuity and passion that went into every single project.

It was a "Ride For A Purpose," a powerful initiative dedicated to championing the incredible work of Seeds of Africa . This wasn't just about cycling; it was about community. It was about channeling the determination and endurance of a cycling race directly into the hands of those building a better future.

Re-roofing a Landmark: NJR Delivers Engineering Precision at NWU Auditorium NJR Potchefstroom was recently commissioned by North-West University (NWU) to solve a persistent leak in the auditorium roof—a complex task due to the very low pitch of the existing structure. Rather than replace the roof entirely, the team opted to erect a new roof structure over the old one. This solution ensured minimal disruption to ongoing activities inside the auditorium. In the absence of an appointed architect, NJR joined the design team directly, offering both product expertise and technical input. Our proposed light steel truss system was reviewed and approved by the project’s structural engineer. The project posed significant engineering challenges. The 40-year-old auditorium had no CAD documentation—only original paper plans. The building’s large, kite-shaped roof spans 70 metres diagonally and 35 metres across the shorter axis, with perimeter wall heights reaching 12 metres.
