Paint harling is an extremely durable external finish used for the protection of the steelwork of steel-clad houses most notably in Scotland. Paint harling consists of the surface being cleaned and prepared, before being covered with a thick coat of paint composed of paste white lead, stand oil and gold size. While this coat of paint is still tacky, paint-coated granitechips are thrown onto the surface and the whole allowed to dry hard. Research Paint Harling
