How we work: coat by coat

A beautiful finish starts long before the spraying. Read how a job runs with us, and why preparation matters at least as much as the lacquer itself.

Check & collect

What goes into a good finish?

A durable finish is a system of layers that are matched to each other. Each layer has its own job.

2K PU topcoat Colour, gloss and protection. Hard, scratch-resistant and chemical-resistant.
Primer Provides adhesion and an even base. Specific to each material: steel, galvanised, aluminium, wood, MDF or plastic.
Zinc layer (metallising) optional Optional for outdoor steel: active protection against rust.
Substrate Degreased and sanded or blasted. A coating is only as good as what lies beneath.

Every material reacts differently to lacquer. That’s why we match the pre-treatment and primer to what comes in.

Steel & iron

Degreasing, removing rust and mill scale by sanding or blasting. For outdoor work, optionally metallising with zinc.
Galvanised steel & aluminium

Thorough degreasing and light abrading, then a dedicated adhesion primer. Without that step, lacquer peels off galvanised steel or aluminium.
Stainless steel

Degreasing and matting, followed by an adhesion primer suited to stainless steel.
Solid wood & veneer

Sanding, filling where needed and a filling primer to close the grain. Sanding between coats for a smooth result.
MDF

Extra treatment of the edges, which soak up moisture, then priming and sanding between coats for a crisp, even finish.
Plastic

Cleaning, light sanding and an adhesion primer for plastics. The topcoat stays flexible enough for the material.

We work with 2K PU wet lacquer. An honest comparison:
