Wet Paint Spraying / Spray Painting

Wet Paint Spraying, also known as wet coating, is a process that applies liquid paint onto surfaces using compressed air to atomise and direct the paint. This method is used to create a high-quality finish, protect surfaces, and enhance appearance on a variety of materials.

The Electropak team of specialists are able to expertly apply paint for a wider range of applications including:

  • Vehicle Components
  • Mechanical Components
  • Box builds and Containers
  • Signs and Signage
  • Panels
Powder Coating

Powder Coating is a dry finishing process where a finely ground powder, made of pigments, resins, and additives, is applied to a surface, typically metal, and then cured at high temperature to form a durable, often corrosion-resistant finish. Unlike liquid paint, which is applied wet and requires a solvent to carry the pigments, powder coating is applied dry and doesn’t rely on solvents.

Typical applications for powder coated products include:

  • Vehicle Components
  • Busbars / Insulated Electrical Components
  • Panels, Grab Rails, Handles
  • Railing and Furniture
  • Alloy Wheels
  • Signs and Signage
  • Events
  • Insulation for Conductive Components – Busbars, Earth Bars
