Cellulosics or Acrylics: make your choice!


Hand Spray Painting
The technique most commonly used in the restoration of old vehicles.
For maximum precision, both for simple touch-ups to integral paintings.


Electrostatic paint
Powder-coating
Powder coating processes are non-polluting methods of application used in industry to coat and protect metal substrates.
The paint is present in the form of a thermosetting powder resin. The advantage of these processes is the absence of solvents, which is of economic, environmental, hygienic and occupational safety interest: reduced fire risk, no respiratory exposure to solvents.
In the case of powder coating, the paint is sprayed using an electrostatic gun, which carries a positive charge.
The paint takes form of a very fine cold powder that is charged (positively) by an electric field.
The conductive part to be painted carries an opposite (negative) charge; the powder, attracted by the Coulomb force, thus adheres temporarily to the part.
Then the part is passed through the oven, which allows melting and polymerization of the thermosetting powder.

This technique is suitable for parts with complex shapes and large volumes and is widely used in the automotive sector and for the treatment of metal furniture parts.
Powder coating is a resistant surface coating with a particularly glossy appearance.
The sprayed powder is a polyester base with a perfect resistance to UV rays.
For perfect tension, the powder is applied hot. Polymerisation is carried out in a tunnel or in an oven for larger parts.
Parts that are subject to chipping, such as rims and suspension elements, are powder-coated. The splash resistance is excellent and the corrosion protection is of good quality.
The aluminium rims can be microblasted and protected with a colourless powder coating.
Motorcycle frames, swingarms and wheels are originally powder-coated.
