Frequently Asked Questions

How do I select between alkyd, epoxy, urethane, & water-based technologies?
Urethanes deliver UV and chemical durability; water-based systems reduce VOC exposure; epoxies provide adhesion and corrosion resistance; alkyds offer economical, easy application. Selection depends on environment, durability targets, and process constraints. Whatever your conditions, FinishWorks has a solution for you. 
How important is agitation prior to spraying?
Proper agitation ensures pigment dispersion and consistent gloss, color, and cure response. Settling or agglomeration can cause appearance variation and performance issues.
What equipment considerations influence coating results?
Conventional spray supports fine finishes, airless covers large areas quickly, HVLP improves efficiency and precision, and air-assisted airless balances quality and productivity. Equipment must match viscosity and solids level. Whatever your setup, a FinishWorks metal coatings expert can assist you in optimizing your process. 
How does grounding impact electrostatic application?
Effective grounding improves transfer efficiency and prevents hazards related to FinishWorks' metal coating offerings. Operator, part, and equipment resistance to ground should measure ≤1 megaohm with conductive paths maintained throughout the system.
What role does surface preparation play in coating performance?
Removing contaminants and validating pretreatment conditions improves adhesion and reduces failure risk in FinishWorks' metal coating offerings. Even tolerant chemistries perform best over controlled substrates.
How do environmental conditions affect application?
Low temperatures increase viscosity and slow cure; heated application improves atomization but may shorten pot life. Humidity impacts water-based drying. Process settings should be adjusted accordingly for each of FinishWorks' metal coating offerings.
What are common causes of spray pattern defects?
Pressure imbalance, improper viscosity, or blocked air cap holes often create pattern irregularities. If you encounter issues while using our FinishWorks metal coating offerings, simply adjust pressures, clean components, or change tip size to correct defects.
