Will Corten metal damage clothing?
I want to use Corten in an area with heavy pedestrian traffic. Will Corten (or other self-rusting metals)damage clothing / outerwear?

Yes (unless you like a deep orange-brown). Runoff also stains concrete, stone, stucco, etc. United States Steel Corp. recommends not using COR-TEN® steel sheet for roofing and siding. Another product, COR-TEN AZP Prepainted Galvalume® duplicates the color of aged COR-TEN®.

Regarding your concerns over the Corten, we have just finished coating a fence in Ranco Mirage ,Ca. It is Corten . We duplicated the color with a Ceramic based material. There is no danger of transfer of the color to anything .
