What is wet painting and what possibilities does TOS offer?

Wet painting is a surface treatment in which liquid paint is applied to a component, usually using spray techniques. The process begins with careful pretreatment, such as cleaning, sanding, or blasting, to ensure optimal adhesion. The paint is then applied in several thin layers, which, after drying or curing, provide a smooth and even finish.

The advantage of wet painting is its great flexibility. Unlike powder coating, wet painting can be applied to both metals and non-conductive materials, such as plastic or wood. There are also virtually unlimited possibilities in terms of color, gloss level, and layer thickness. This makes the technique ideal for both functional protective layers and high-quality aesthetic finishes.

At TOS, we coordinate the entire wet-painting process: from preparation and application to drying and quality control. Thanks to our collaboration with specialized partners, we can efficiently paint both small and large series. This guarantees that your products receive durable protection and the desired appearance, fully tailored to their application.

FAQ's

What is wet painting?
Wet painting is a surface treatment in which a liquid lacquer layer is applied to a product. After drying, this lacquer layer forms a protective and decorative finish. The process not only creates a beautiful, even appearance but also offers protection against corrosion, wear, and external influences. Thanks to the wide variety of lacquer types and colors, wet painting is ideal for both functional and aesthetic applications.
Wet painting is suitable for a wide range of materials. Besides steel and aluminum, it’s also excellent for coating plastics, wood, and non-ferrous metals. This makes this technique exceptionally versatile and applicable in a wide range of sectors—from industrial components to consumer products. Thanks to special pretreatments, the paint adheres optimally, regardless of the material.

The main difference between wet painting and powder coating is in the application and the end result.

  • Powder coating is generally more durable and more resistant to mechanical stress.
  • Wet painting, on the other hand, offers more flexibility, is suitable for complex shapes and materials that are not heat resistant, and allows for a high-gloss or special finish.

In short: wet painting is the right choice when versatility, detail and customisation are important.

Wet painting is used in a wide range of industries. Typical examples include machine parts, metal housings, structural components , design products, automotive parts, and furniture. The process produces a high-quality finish that meets customer requirements both aesthetically and functionally. Whether it’s industrial protection or a sleek design, wet painting offers the right solution.
