Wet painting is the application of liquid paint to the surface of a component. First, the component is thoroughly cleaned to remove any contaminants that may prevent adhesion between the paint and the component's surface. The liquid paint is then applied to the component, usually via a spray gun, before being air-dried or baked in order to cure the paint.
Unlike other coating methods, wet painting may require multiple coats to ensure a quality finish. However, it is a cost-effective process with fast turnaround times, which makes wet painting a popular choice for many applications.
Wet painting can be used on a wide range of materials including both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood and plastic. It is an ideal option for large structures, as well as those that cannot be exposed to heat, due to the fact that liquid paint can be air-dried.
