Mike Gerst, owner of the 35 year old Gerst Painting and Contracting, announced that as a result of successful field trials, he will be offering Amerlock 400, a protectant against rust.

Gerst explained, “Amerlock 400 protects against rust on pipes, roofs, water heaters, tank exteriors and steel structures in industrial facilities. Amerlock 400 is a 2-part epoxy primer finish, which can be used as a finish on its own. Occasionally, we use a topcoat called Amershield for extended weather-shielding ability. This specialty coating system encapsulates rust on metal structures. Several of my commercial clients have chosen this added protection and I strongly recommend it to those companies that have experienced rust problems in the past.”

Gerst Painting and Contracting was formed by Mike Gerst, who started from his station wagon and now employs 32 painters, carpenters and handymen, and today is one of the most recognized names in his industry among Omaha homeowners and businesses. His company has been selected to paint over 17,500 properties.
