Color Application

Precision Takes Time

Applying color to 3D-printed parts isn’t just about painting — it’s a multi-step process that requires time, skill, and the right materials to ensure a clean, durable, and professional finish.

Our customers are in good hands — every painted part is handled by a team of experienced professionals with a combined total of 3 decades of industry expertise. From prepping to finishing, our painters understand the nuances of materials, colors, and finishes, ensuring that every project is treated with precision, consistency, and care. Whether it's a single prototype or a full production run, we take pride in delivering results that meet the highest standards.

Here is how we do it.

  1. Surface Preparation

    • Each part is cleaned, sanded, and primed to remove print lines and residues. This it to ensure proper paint adhesion and finish.

  2. Base Coating

    • A uniform base coat is applied to create a consistent surface for color layering.

  3. Color Application

    • We use high-quality paints (spray paint, airbrush and handbrush) for even, streak-free coverage.

    • Multiple layers are often needed for full opacity and depth.

  4. Detailing (if required)

    • Fine detailing is done by hand for logos, patterns, or color separation areas.

  5. Finishing Coat

    • A clear coat may be applied for protection (matte, satin, or gloss finish depending on the project).
