How Rhino Shield Works
Rhino Shield isn’t paint. It’s a high-build ceramic coating engineered to last 25 years. It works because of what’s in it and how it’s applied.Here’s how the system protects your home from the ground up.
Step 1: Detailed Inspection and Prep
We start by inspecting every inch of your exterior. Then we:
- Power wash and clean all surfaces
- Repair cracks and damaged areas
- Scrape and remove loose material
- Sand and mask to protect surrounding features
Proper prep is critical. Without it, no coating will last.
Step 2: Flexible Primer Application
Next, we apply a waterproof, elastic bonding primer. This isn’t just a sealant, it’s designed to move with your home.
- Fills cracks up to 1/16"
- Penetrates and bonds to wood, stucco, brick and more
- Stays flexible through seasonal expansion and contraction
This primer is the foundation for long-term adhesion.
Step 3: Thick Ceramic Finish Coat
Once the primer sets, we apply our ceramic finish coat. This is what separates Rhino Shield from traditional paint.
It goes on 8–10 times thicker than latex paint. The formula includes:
- Ceramic microspheres (manufactured by 3M) for reflectivity, thickness, and insulation
- Urethane and acrylic resins for strength and flexibility
- UV-blocking pigments for fade resistance
The result is a rubber-like membrane that bonds to your home, and stays put.

It looks like fresh paint, but performs like armor.
Why It Works So Well
It comes down to chemistry and process.
Rhino Shield was developed by chemists who believed paint wasn’t built to last on exteriors. Their solution combined the strength of ceramics with elastomeric resins that stretch, flex and breathe.
Unlike paint, which sits on the surface, Rhino Shield becomes part of the structure. That’s how it protects your home year after year.
Works on Any Surface
Rhino Shield can be applied to almost any exterior:
It conforms to your home and cures into a durable, seamless coating.
