Questions

Industrial painting FAQ

What should I tell the painter?

Describe what the part does, how hot it gets and whether it stays outside. Send photos, sizes and your chosen colour.

How do I choose the coating?

Give the shop the material and working conditions. Ask which coating suits heat, wear and the fit of moving parts.

What should the quote cover?

Ask about stripping, surface preparation, masking and curing. Confirm whether taking parts apart and putting them back together is included.

Good to know

  • Say how hot the part gets so the shop can choose the coating.
  • No Cambridge shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
