METAL PAINTING

HIGH-VOLUME METAL PAINTING WITH SPECS TO MATCH

Outsourced painting can slow down production and lead to inconsistent results. At Lewis Engineering, we offer in-house metal painting to support high-volume production jobs that require speed, durability, and consistent coverage. We use custom-built fixtures and automated tools to apply paint quickly and evenly, reducing overspray, waste, and touch-up time.

Every part is painted to your specs and tested in-house using salt spray methods to confirm performance and durability.

Our metal painting capabilities are ideal for:

High-volume part painting with consistent finish
Supporting industrial and defense paint specifications
Reducing overspray and paint waste with custom fixtures
Verifying coating performance through in-house salt spray testing

We’ve developed our painting process to move fast, coat evenly, and meet the same standards we use across machining, plating, and assembly.

BUILT TO COVER GROUND

Our painting booth is outfitted with tools designed in-house to handle high volumes efficiently. From custom fixtures to automated applicators, everything is engineered to move quickly without sacrificing finish quality.

When required, we use our in-house salt spray tank to validate performance and verify that coatings meet rust-resistance and adhesion requirements.

Metal Painting FAQs

Get answers to common questions about Lewis Engineering’s in-house metal painting, production, quality testing, and quoting.

Does Lewis Engineering provide in-house metal painting?

We offer in-house metal painting services designed to support high-volume production. Custom-built fixtures and automated spray equipment allow paint to be applied quickly and evenly, minimizing overspray, excess waste paint and touch-up time.

Can parts be pre-treated with zinc phosphate before painting?

Yes, parts can be coated with zinc phosphate prior to painting. Zinc phosphate is applied in-house and is part of our paint preparation process. The coating creates a reliable base coat that helps paint adhere properly over time.

What types of metal parts can be painted?

Machine parts made of metal are ideal for our painting process. Since we support high-volume production with consistent paint coverage and a durable finish, many of our parts are designed to support industrial and defense components.

Can metal painting be combined with machining, stamping or assembly?

Metal painting can easily be combined with machining, stamping and assembly. All of these capabilities are offered in-house to minimize part handling and maximize production time.

What industries use Lewis Engineering for metal painting?

Industrial and defense industries commonly work with us to develop paint specifications and finalize finishing details. Our in-house salt spray testing can also be used to ensure coating quality.

What information should I send for a metal painting quote?

Provide as much information as possible about your part and painting requirements, including the material, estimated production quantity and desired finish. Any applicable paint, testing or performance specifications will also help our team evaluate your project and provide an accurate quote.
