The right choice of paint

It is not so easy to choose a paint for the door — it must be extremely durable and reliable. You should also pay attention to the color — pollution and damage will be immediately visible on light shades. However, if a door is required furniture for a kindergarten or hospital — you can safely choose light shades that will indicate the cleanliness of the room.

Regardless of where the products will be used, attention should be paid to the UV resistance of the polymer film. After all, it is not known when direct sunlight will fall on it. METALLIC Black Sparkling VIII PE/SM polyester paint will help here. Hybrid coatings will also be a winner in this case — California Beige EP-PE and RAL9016 EP-PE-TEX — the most popular in the “Lacover” range.

Problems in covering

Frequent defects are craters, pinholes, the formation of inflows and uneven spreading. Avoiding disadvantages is actually quite simple, although the answers to each complication do not lie on the surface. It is difficult to accurately determine the cause of unevenness on the painted layer, it has to be found by trial and error. For example, a factor contributing to the appearance of craters can be excessive gas release, a substrate contaminated with grease and oxides, the effect of reverse ionization, silicon impurities, and many others. Pinholes can be caused by excessive humidity, grease and compressed moisture air of spraying equipment and silicone contamination. Influxes become a problem usually due to too high a temperature in the polymerization furnace or a very thick layer of powder.
