Surface preparation
Remove contaminants and create the cleanliness and profile required by the selected coating system.
Wet-painted parts to the selected finish.
Choose an available colour and gloss for an eligible part, and keep the required preparation, masking and paint system with the production order.

Match the finish to its actual use.
Wet paint can be selected when the part needs a particular available colour, gloss or a coating route suited to its geometry. The chosen finish remains attached to the same cut and formed part through checkout.
State the exposure, cosmetic faces, masking and any documented coating requirement. Metalldel confirms whether the available preparation and layer system fit the submitted part.
State the substrate, service environment, colour, gloss, required system or standard, and surfaces that need masking.
Build only the layers the exposure and specification require.
02Bond
Primer
Promote adhesion and provide the first protective layer appropriate to the substrate.
03Build
Intermediate coat
Add barrier thickness or specific protection where a multi-coat system requires it.
04Finish
Topcoat
Provide the specified colour, gloss, weathering and final surface characteristics.
Available materials for wet painting.
Loading current material availability…
Available colours, gloss grades and final system suitability are confirmed during configuration.
Choose wet paint when the specification needs coating flexibility.
Geometry
Complex or assembled geometry
Liquid application can suit parts that cannot accept a powder-cure cycle or need local repair and touch-up.
Protection
Specified protective system
Use primers and topcoats selected for a documented exposure or customer coating specification.
Lifecycle
Appearance and maintenance
Choose colour and gloss with future touch-up, recoating and service access in mind.
A controlled path from prepared steel to packed paintwork.
Confirm the specification
Review substrate, preparation, coating layers, colour, gloss and environment.
Prepare and mask
Clean the part and protect threads, interfaces and areas that must remain bare.
Apply and cure
Spray each approved coat within its film-build, drying and recoat requirements.
Inspect and protect
Check agreed appearance and coverage before packing the cured part for delivery.
Ordering a wet-painted part
What finish information should I provide?
Include colour, gloss, service environment, visible faces and any required coating system or performance requirement.
When should I choose wet paint?
Use it when the specified finish, multi-coat system, repairability or part geometry makes wet application the suitable route.
Which areas should be masked?
Mark threads, electrical contacts, fitted surfaces and other areas where coating thickness would affect function.
Can painting stay in the same fabrication order?
Yes, for eligible parts. Metalldel keeps the selected finish with the geometry, material and quantity through production.
Match the paint system to the part's real environment.
Configure an available finish or send the coating specification for technical review.
