Painting with liquid spray painting products offers a wide range of solutions, thanks to the countless cycles possible, the characteristics of the paint (solvent- or water-based, mono-component or bi-component etc.).
Pre-treatment is decided by the type of material and the state of the surface, associated with cycles of series application (typically application of bases/primers + enamels and/or final protective coat).
According to the piece, the anti-corrosion or aesthetic finish aspects are privileged.
In general, solvent-based painting products require simpler treatment cycles compared to water-soluble painting products. Continuous or cell plants can be distinguished, or static plants with floor conveyors.
