We paint oversized industrial parts, technically demanding orders and smaller products in repeated B2B production. The process may include blasting, metallizing, paint system design, quality control and output documentation.
Painting capacities
We don't judge capacity only by the maximum length or weight of the part. For each order, we deal with the painting process: handling, hanging, pre-treatment, painting, drying, quality control, documentation and shipping. Thanks to our facility near the D5 motorway in Pilsen, we also manage the reception and handling of oversized loads.
We paint oversized industrial parts as well as repeated B2B series of smaller products. For series, we deal with the hanging method, production batching, shade repeatability, inspection and packaging so that the result is stable across the entire order.

For heavier or irregular parts, we suggest handling in advance. We use standard operating capacity, column jacks, our own fixtures and facilities for solving atypical products.

Nine paint booths and four separate drying ovens help keep orders flowing smoothly. Drying does not unnecessarily block paint booths, which is important for large parts and regularly repeated series.

Pretreatment and subsequent operations
Before painting itself, we deal with the material, surface condition, degreasing, blasting, or metallizing or other technological steps. Thanks to the continuity of pre-treatment, painting, quality control and other production operations, we reduce the risk between the individual steps of the order.
Depending on the type of project, we can also follow up with industrial bonding, welding, assembly, final assembly or production of fixtures for atypical parts. We can deal with selected further modifications, for example machining, in cooperation where it makes sense for the overall course of the order.
Proper preparation of the material prior to painting is critical to the adhesion, longevity and resulting quality of the paint system.
For parts with high durability requirements, painting can be combined with metallizing or another anti-corrosion system.
For selected orders, we can follow up with further production operations, so that the customer does not have to pass the part between several suppliers unnecessarily.
It is important not to wait too long after blasting. That's why we follow up with our own blasting with a primer within 8 hours to minimize the risk of unwanted oxidation, delays between suppliers and loss of surface quality.
Technological reason
Self-blasting and painting in one operation reduces the risk of waiting between processes and gives more control over the result.
What materials do we paint?
For each material, we deal with the correct pre-treatment, suitable base, required environment and follow-up tests. The goal is not just to apply paint, but to create a surface treatment that will hold, protect and meet the specifications.
Steel, cast iron, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized surfaces, magnesium and non-ferrous metals. The key is the correct pre-treatment and the choice of an anti-corrosion base.
ABS, polycarbonate, PMMA, PP/EPDM, polyamide, PVC or PUR. Adhesion, surface activation and a suitable primer are decisive for plastics.
Fiberglass and carbon laminate for technical applications where porous surface preparation, fillers and UV protection are important.
MDF, chipboard and solid wood, where sealing of absorbent edges, surface preparation and desired appearance are important.
Glass surfaces as well as 3D printed parts where wet painting helps to unify the surface, cover the layers after printing or create the desired design and protective effect.
Coating systems and application technology
We choose the coating system according to the material, the required service life, the corrosive environment, the customer's internal regulations and subsequent inspection. For the application itself, we use a proven application technique and paint pumps, which help maintain uniformity, speed and repeatability of the result.
For industrial painting, we use proven spraying equipment and technology for stable application of paint systems.
They help speed up application, maintain process quality, and better handle larger parts and repeated series production.
Tests and inspection
For demanding industrial parts, inspection is part of the process, not the last step before shipping. We measure and document the parameters that determine durability, appearance, adhesion, layer thickness and the fulfillment of customer requirements.
Thickness measurement verifies that individual layers correspond to the proposed coating system and job requirements.
For repeated orders and visible parts, we monitor the stability of appearance, measurement and traceable record.
Cross-cut and pull-off tests show whether the coating adheres as required.
Durability tests help demonstrate the suitability of a coating system for demanding environments and long-term corrosion protection.

We manage the order as a follow-up process from verification of the specification through pre-treatment and painting to measurement, report, packaging and shipping.

Fields and Typical Uses
Wet painting makes the most sense where it is not enough to just "paint" the part. The customer needs the right paint system, repeatable shade, surface protection, result measurement and assurance that pre-treatment, painting, drying and packaging will take place in the correct sequence.
Standards, repeatability, auditability, bonding, welding and documentation.
Durability, customer requirements, measurements and verifiable quality.
Large structural units, corrosion protection and logistics.
Repeat orders, larger parts, repeat production and stable cooperation.
Accuracy, process cleanliness, quality control and documentation for specific technical fields.
Visual and technical parts, where the accuracy of execution, shade stability, cleanliness, control and documentation are decisive.
Wet painting reference
With wet painting, it is important to see not only the finished surface, but also the specification, material, required coating system, method of handling, quality control and documentation. We therefore prepare references as technical examples of specific types of orders.
Rail technology
Sample order where paint system, shade repeatability, layer measurement, documentation and readiness for customer audit are the deciding factors.
Repeated B2B series
An example of an order focused on suspension, production batching, quality repeatability, shade control, packaging and long-term cooperation.
Heavy engineering
Demonstration of a solution for a large part, where handling, production passage, drying, measurement and safe shipping need to be thought through in advance.
Anti-corrosion protection
An example of an order where wet painting is followed by pretreatment, possibly metallizing, and the result is documented by measurements, tests and reports.
Customer prescription
Example of cooperation where the customer solves the standard, internal regulation, documentation, traceability of the process and the qualification of the supplier.
Certification
For demanding jobs, a good look is not enough. It is important to document that the supplier meets the required standards, processes and industry requirements. Certifications help with technical approval, customer audits and long-term cooperation.
