The finish an aerospace programme requires
Liquid primers and topcoats, powder coating, with masking of seats, threads and electrical contact surfaces. The part leaves finished and marked, with its inspection report: liquid and powder thickness, cross-hatch adhesion, gloss, salt spray when the specification calls for it. We paint the parts we make and, as a service, our customers' parts.
