Starting January 2026, automotive metal coatings must meet a 15-year corrosion durability requirement—up from the previous 10-year standard. That change shifts long-term risk squarely onto automotive manufacturers and their suppliers.
If a coated component corrodes within that 15-year window, liability doesn’t disappear—it comes back to you. That’s why more manufacturers are turning to Michigan Metal Coatings.
