Painting & Silk Screening

Painting & Silk Screening

Liquid painting, primer systems, clear coats and silk-screened graphics for parts where appearance, colour accuracy or printed identification matters.

Systems
Primer plus topcoat, single-stage, clear coat
Colour
RAL, Pantone, NCS or matched to a physical sample
Appearance
Matte, satin, semi-gloss and gloss
Graphics
Silk screening, pad printing and laser marking

How we hold this quality

Colour matching

Colours are matched to a code or a physical sample and approved before the batch runs, so repeat orders stay consistent.

Primer systems

Aluminium, steel and plastics each need the correct primer for the paint to adhere and stay adhered in service.

Printed detail

Logos, part numbers, scales and legends can be silk screened or pad printed on flat, curved and recessed surfaces.

Touch-up support

Touch-up paint can be supplied with the shipment so small transport marks do not turn into a rework job.

Painting gives the broadest control over colour and appearance of any finish we offer, and it is often the only option when the part is plastic or includes heat-sensitive components.

Where painting wins

Complex geometry that powder coating struggles to cover evenly, precise colour matches, soft-touch and textured surfaces, plastic parts, and assemblies that combine several materials.

Graphics and identification

Painted parts can be finished with silk-screened logos, scales, warning marks and part numbers, then clear coated for durability. If the marking has to survive solvents or abrasion without a printed layer, laser marking is used instead.

FAQ

Painting & Silk Screening — frequently asked questions

When is painting better than powder coating?

Painting suits complex geometry, heat-sensitive parts, plastics and precise colour matches. Powder coating is harder wearing and more economical on simple steel and aluminium shapes.

Can you print logos and markings on my parts?

Yes — silk screening and pad printing cover flat and curved surfaces, and laser marking is used where the marking must be permanent and cannot be a printed layer.

How do I get a consistent colour across batches?

Approve a physical sample from the first batch. We keep that reference on file and match subsequent batches to it rather than to a screen or a photograph.
