Wet/Spray coating is ideal for applications requiring a smooth, durable surface or specific visual effects.
This process is especially beneficial for parts that cannot withstand the high curing temperatures of powder coating.
We use eco-friendly, VOC-compliant paints to minimize environmental impact while ensuring a high-quality, long-lasting finish.
From aerospace to automotive, our Wet/Spray Paint Coating services support various industries needing robust protective coatings and aesthetic enhancements.
Our custom solutions are designed to protect, perform, and impress.
While it’s true that powder coating is cheaper and more efficient than using a liquid-based spray paint, powder coating is not applicable in every case.
There are a number of reasons one would choose a liquid based paint rather than powder coating:
If a part contains any rubber or plastic then it would not be suitable for powder coating because the rubber would melt during the baking process. Liquid-based paint, in this case, would be a good alternative.
Although the gap has largely been narrowed in the last few years, liquid paint is thought to deliver higher quality ‘Class A’ finishes. This is why automakers by and large still use a liquid-based spray when manufacturing automobiles, although with the advancement of powder coating finishes, this is slowly beginning to change. For Class A finishes, a solvent-based liquid paint would be the preferred coating choice.
Another factor to consider is size. If a part is too large and exceeds the dimensions of the curing oven, then a liquid-based coating would be the obvious solution. This is because liquid based paint doesn’t need a specific temperature to dry (although the drying process can be sped up by applying mild heat.)
Thin coatings (less than 6 millimeters) are difficult to achieve with powder coating. This is due to the mechanics behind powder coating; you have less control over the amount and speed at which the powder is applied to your work-piece. If a particularly thin coating is required, then a liquid based paint would be the superior choice.
Liquid-based coated piece can be ‘touched-up’ or a portion can be sanded and refinished with little noticeable effect on the finished part. Powder coatings cannot be ‘touched-up’ – generally, the previous coating will need to be completely removed, the part cleaned and then powder coated again.
