What is Wet Spray Painting?
Wet spray painting is a process that involves blending and applying liquid paint onto a surface through an air cannon or a specialized machine. This method creates a protective layer on the targeted surface by delivering paint particles. It can be done manually, automatically, or robotically.
This method is commonly used to apply liquid paint to finished products. Before starting the process, the surface to be painted must be thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Wet spray painting is a quick and efficient way to achieve a uniform and high-quality finish on almost any surface. A fine mist of paint is sprayed over the surface, which is allowed to dry after application.
Wet Spray Painting Treatment Process
Substrate
Substrate is the bottom layer of the material that supports the main layer. First of all, the parts are shot-blasted to resurface it, as well as to remove dirt and contaminants from metal and other industrial surfaces. Little abrasive particles are first driven toward the surface to produce a fully clean substrate for wet painting. It removes oxide and rust from the materials and offers a great surface for further chemical pre-treatments.
Pre-treatment
It is the foundation of wet spraying, a process of applying chemical preparation for various types of metal and aluminium. Not only for a long-lasting protection layer on materials, a quality and appropriate pre-treatment also prepares the materials for the wet spray painting. Therefore, the wet spray painting will stick and form a flawless layer on the surfaces. This thorough preparation and cleaning is crucial to guarantee your parts have a perfect surface that is ready to resist corrosion after wet spraying.
Spraying
After the surface has been prepped, the liquid paint is sprayed uniformly with a spray, pump, or pressured airgun. It is applied until the proper thickness is evenly covered on the product. During the process, the products being painted are frequently positioned on rollers or a turntable to achieve generally uniform coverage of the wet spray paintings.
Cure
Cure can be known as preserved through drying. More specifically, it is a process that results in a stronger, tougher, or more stable linkage of materials as a result of chemical reactions or physical activities such as drying. Therefore, some curing methods need to make sure a specific temperature and/or humidity level is maintained within the range during the curing process, while others imply the maintenance of a specific pressure for a satisfied outcome.
Inspection
Inspection is a process of examination, checking the wet spraying processes are being done properly while the finished products are served based on project requirements. At Grille Tech, inspection training includes all criteria for painting inspection and testing in painting inspection projects. As a result, the completed products’ quality is assured to match the requirements of the clients.
Delivery
Wet spraying is a quick secondary process treatment because airgun spraying is commonly used to apply a uniform coating of liquid on big surfaces and equipment. Therefore, we excel in excellent quality and always make sure on-time delivery to meet customer’s expectations.

Benefits of Wet Spray Painting
# Time saving
Wet spray painting can help you save time. This is especially true when the painting covers big areas. Wet spray painting may cover a considerable surface area in a few hours with the help of a machine/air gun.
# Applicable on most of the object surfaces
Allowing the painting of massive, heavy, and awkwardly formed objects. Wet spray painting is suitable for huge, heavy, or strangely formed things that cannot be powder coated.
# Wide range of colours selection
The availability of an endless selection of colours allows you to have greater flexibility when selecting a colour to fit your brand’s requirements. Colors may be created with a great degree of accuracy by mixing various paints together on-site.
# Ideal textured appearance
Textured specialty effects are possible. It allows you to produce a variety of gloss levels and textures, resulting in a consistent, comprehensive, high-quality finish over the surface area.
# Metallic appearance with variety of colours
Metallic and non-metallic colours can be used to create gleaming metallic effects.
#Applicable on wide range of surface materials
Wet spray painting can be utilised on a broad range of materials, including ferrous and nonferrous metals, as well as plastic and wooden components.
# Drying at high temperatures is not required
It is a method that may be used on items that cannot be heated for powder coating. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for non-heated applications because wet spray painting allows you to air-dry or bake the finished object.
# Cost-effective
A cost-effective finish is possible based on your budgetary constraints: Wet spraying provides a cost-effective solution for painting big parts.
# Protection
Lastly, paint protects the aluminium substrate from harsh environments and most importantly it is corrosion resistant.
In short, wet spray painting is a popular and widely used method of protecting your finished products. For years, we’ve used wet sprays as part of our metal surface treatment to maintain and improve our quality and productivity. As a result, while spraying wet spray to your products at Grille Tech, accuracy and precision are always well-practiced.
