What is Painting Surface Treatment?

Painting surface treatment involves applying a coating of paint to a material to enhance its appearance, provide protection, and improve its durability. This process can involve various techniques such as spray painting, powder coating, or anodizing, depending on the material and desired outcome. It is commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing to protect parts from corrosion, abrasion, and environmental wear, while also offering an aesthetic finish.

Painting Surface Treatment Tolerances

Description General Tolerance or Standard
Coating Thickness Typically 25–150 microns (0.001”–0.006”), depending on paint type (e.g., wet paint, enamel, polyurethane, epoxy).
Dimensional Tolerance Impact Adds ±0.002”–0.005” (±0.05–0.13 mm) per coated surface; must be considered for tight-fitting components or assemblies.
Surface Smoothness Ra 1.6–3.2 μm (63–125 microinches) post-paint; dependent on surface prep (e.g., sanding, primer, base coat).
Adhesion Tolerance Cross-cut adhesion test: Class 0–1 (ISO 2409) or 5B (ASTM D3359) for high-performance paints; failure beyond this range indicates poor bonding.
Temperature Resistance Paint systems rated from 100°C to 500°C, depending on formulation (e.g., automotive, aerospace, industrial-grade).
Drying Time Tolerance ±15% variation from manufacturer specs due to humidity, temperature, and layer thickness.

Essential for optimal paint adhesion:

  • Degreasing: Removes oil, dust, and contaminants.
  • Sanding or Abrasive Blasting: Smooths the surface or adds light texture for better paint grip.

The most common method:

  • Air or Airless Spray Guns evenly apply paint in fine layers.
  • Allows for control over color, thickness, and finish (matte, gloss, etc.).

Parts are dipped into a paint bath and then withdrawn slowly:

  • Best for full coverage, even on complex geometries.
  • Ideal for high-volume production with uniform results.

After painting, parts are dried or cured:

  • Air Drying for basic applications.
  • Oven Curing for enhanced durability, adhesion, and chemical resistance.

Painting Surface Treatment at Elite Mold Tech More Than Just Color

When it comes to manufacturing, painting is not just about making a part look good—it’s about protection, performance, and perception. Whether you’re producing components for electronics, medical devices, consumer goods, or automotive applications, a quality paint job can add far more than aesthetic value.

At Elite Mold Tech, we offer industrial-grade painting surface treatments that enhance durability, resist corrosion, and meet demanding visual or functional specifications. From custom finishes to high-volume consistency, we deliver paint that performs.

Why Paint Parts in Manufacturing?

Surface painting is often the final touch before a part enters the market. It can:

  • Enhance visual appeal with color, gloss, or matte finishes

  • Protect against moisture, UV exposure, chemicals, or wear

  • Differentiate brands with specific color codes or textures

  • Improve functionality, such as reducing glare or aiding grip

  • Ensure compliance with safety or identification standards

In short, paint is both form and function. And when applied professionally, it becomes a powerful extension of your product design.

Our Painting Capabilities

Elite Mold Tech uses advanced paint booths, HVLP spray systems, and precision fixturing to deliver consistent, high-quality finishes across any part geometry.

Our painting services include:

  • Solvent-based and water-based coatings

  • UV-resistant paints for outdoor or medical applications

  • Automotive-grade finishes for high durability

  • Matte, gloss, satin, and textured options

  • Electrostatic spray painting for uniform coverage

  • Masking for multi-color or selective-area painting

We also support priming and clear coating when enhanced adhesion or surface protection is needed.

Suitable Materials & Applications

Painting can be applied to a variety of substrates, including:

  • Plastics – ABS, PC, Nylon, Acrylic, and more

  • Metals – Aluminum, steel, magnesium

  • Composite parts

  • 3D printed components
