General Wet Painting Process
At NAP, our wet painting process ensures optimal performance and consistency for every component. We begin with a thorough surface preparation, which includes cleaning and degreasing the metal surface, followed by surface treatments like etching or phosphating to improve paint adhesion, depending on the application and required coatings. Next, our expert aerospace painters apply high-quality coatings, including primers and topcoats, using advanced spray guns or equipment to achieve a durable finish.
As the curing process is critical, we use infrared curing ovens to dry and harden the paint, ensuring it meets aerospace standards. To further enhance protection and performance, our experts can also apply hand sealants and dry film lubricants as required. Throughout the process, we maintain strict quality control measures, inspecting each component for proper coverage, finish, and performance.
