Decisions to make early
Choose the finish around the base material, intended environment and appearance. Specify visible faces, colour references, texture and any areas that must remain uncoated.

BEFORE YOU ENQUIREQuestions,
Questions,
answered.
Is a colour name enough to specify a finish?
A physical sample or an agreed colour reference is more useful. Also specify the intended texture and gloss, because surfaces with the same colour can look different under different lighting.
Which areas may need masking?
Identify threaded holes, electrical contact points, precision mating surfaces and other features that must remain free of coating. The masking requirements should be clear in the brief.
A CLEAR START
What to share.
