Most industrial paint manufacturer are designed to facilitate the painting of ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. Iron, steel, aluminum, tin, and galvanized substrates all require slightly different preparation methods. You should ensure that you are familiar with these methods before applying industrial coatings in your next project.

Steel is one of the easiest metal surfaces to paint. Before starting any painting work, you should always ensure that all rust, grease, debris and other foreign harmful substances are removed. The object to be painted should be reduced to bare metal. This can be done by manual or power tool cleaning, solvent degreasing or sandblasting. Fine sandpaper can also be used. Etching primers can be used, although their popularity has declined in recent years due to their ineffectiveness. Most general-purpose industrial primers will exhibit excellent adhesion (whether self-etching or not), as long as the surface is properly prepared to accept the coating. Before laying the topcoat, some users prefer to sand the objects that are now primed to ensure that their topcoat has the smoothest substrate.

Aluminum is sometimes a metal that is difficult to paint. In order to best prepare the aluminum surface for painting, a pickling or degreasing agent is usually used to etch the surface. Once the surface is etched, the paint will flow into the micro cracks created by washing and provide excellent adhesion.

Plastics and acrylic resins can usually be coated with industrial paint manufacturer company, but the response to some products may vary, depending on the solvent used in a given product formulation. Water-thinning paints are usually the best choice for these surfaces because they are less likely to cause damage to the painted objects. When spraying acrylic resin, the use of primer is very important because it can block light from passing through the material and increase the hiding of the topcoat.

The translucency of certain acrylic resins is most pronounced when painted in bright colors-traditionally they have poor hiding power due to the nature of pigments. A thick layer of primer will provide better adhesion to the topcoat while virtually eliminating any light filtering that may pass through the acrylic substrate. As is the case with most plastic and acrylic coating projects, it is strongly recommended that you apply the coating on "test points" to determine its effectiveness and rule out any compatibility issues that may exist with the object.
