Painting trials
- Before the trials
- During rehearsals
- After rehearsals
We collect information about the customer's needs - what are his expectations as to the appearance, touch, durability and other functional features of the paint coating. We ask what material the details are made of, in what conditions they will be used and what annual volumes and MOQ are forecast.
On this basis, we propose optimal solutions in terms of coating and type of varnishing (liquid painting, UV varnishes, automated or manual lines, metallization) to meet all requirements and at the same time select the most efficient and economical painting system.
If the project assumes additional requirements - e.g. coatings that meet the requirements of the medical industry, skin touch, resistance to UV rays, resistance to various tests (chemical, scratches, coating hardness test, etc.) - in cooperation with paint manufacturers we select paint products that have already been tested in this respect or we do these tests.
Paint tests are supervised by three specialists - Technologist, Quality Specialist and Project Implementation Specialist. The test is performed on the target painting line by a selected group of painters or operators of an automated line. There is also the possibility of the customer's presence during the trials.
Each paint attempt is marked with a number and registered, with every detail written down - from the technology, through the effect obtained and the customer's assessment. Thanks to this, we can reproduce all conditions during the target production.
Details with varnish coatings undergo our internal quality control, and then we send them to the customer with a request for evaluation. If resistance tests are needed - they are performed by a Quality Specialist according to the Customer's guidelines or are commissioned to an external accredited laboratory.
On the basis of the tests, a varnishing pattern is selected (golden sample) that needs to be accepted by the client and the final conditions for the quality acceptance of the detail are determined.
Based on the tests, we also create a valuation - having information about the consumption of varnishes, potential yields and other cost components, we are able to calculate the project and present a price offer for serial production.
After accepting the samples, price and information about the planned implementation of production in our paint shop, we prepare a technological and quality card, which is the basis for all activities related to this project.
