The invention discloses a metal epoxy protective paint which is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 40-45 parts of urethane acrylate, 30-42 parts of amino resin, 40-45 parts of E-12 epoxy resin, 6-8 parts of trimethylolpropane triacrylate, 1-2 parts of styrene, 2-3 parts of enclosed type isocyanate (TS280), 2-3 parts of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, 3-4 parts of calcium naphthenate, 10-12 parts of titanium dioxide, 6-8 parts of kaolin, 2-3 parts of iron oxide red powder, 1-2 parts of copper powder, 2-3 parts of zinc powder, 4-5 parts of benzoin dimethyl ether, 9-12 parts of ethyl acetate and 3-4 parts of dispersing auxiliary. According to the dispersing auxiliary, the optical performance is improved, so that the paint is uniformly dispersed, and the stability of the paint is maintained. The metal epoxy protective paint has extremely strong corrosion resistance, rust resistance and saline-alkaline resistance, is high in hardness, resistant to scratch, simple in preparation process, overcomes the defects of the traditional epoxy paint and is especially suitable for back face protection of a metal plate.
