Wet paint systems
Primer and topcoat combinations for broad color choice, large parts, field repair, and specified corrosion performance.
Surface Finishing
Surface finishing and heat treatment, matched to corrosion, wear, and appearance.
JK Casting reviews surface finishing and heat treatment around the real service environment. Send drawings, 3D files, samples, or worn parts; we check substrate, corrosion, wear, masking, thickness, color, texture, inspection, and packing before coating or heat treatment.

Service environment
Finishing decisions start with exposure—not color alone.Outdoor · marine · chemical · abrasion · UV · handling damageWet paintFlexible color systems
Powder coatingDurable decorative finish
Zinc protectionGalvanizing & plating
Conversion coatingsPhosphate & black oxide
Finish families
Common options for industrial cast and fabricated parts.
The correct system depends on substrate, geometry, corrosion target, appearance, masking, repairability, and cost.
PC
Powder coating
A durable, consistent decorative coating for compatible part size, geometry, masking, and cure conditions.
ZG
Hot-dip galvanizing
Thick sacrificial zinc protection for outdoor steelwork where drainage, venting, appearance, and dimensional change are acceptable.
ZP
Zinc plating
Controlled zinc protection for smaller steel parts, fasteners, and hardware with specified passivation and thickness.
PH
Phosphate / black oxide
Conversion finishes used for appearance, oil retention, paint preparation, or moderate corrosion control.
SP
Shot blasting & preparation
Surface cleaning and profile preparation that strongly influence coating adhesion and final appearance.
Technical evidence before production
Specification inputs
Define what must be protected—and what must remain bare.
Coating problems often come from missing details at interfaces: threads, bearing seats, electrical contacts, sealing faces, weld zones, and drainage paths.
✓Substrate and pretreatment sequence
✓Coating type, color, gloss, and texture
✓Dry film or plating thickness
✓Masked threads, bores, datums, and sealing faces
✓Salt-spray, adhesion, impact, or appearance criteria
✓Touch-up, preservation, labeling, and packing requirements
Practical workflow
A repeatable finishing workflow from preparation to final inspection.
1
Clean & prepare
Remove scale, oil, rust, and contamination; create the required surface profile.
2
Mask critical areas
Protect machined fits, threads, grounding points, and other no-coat zones.
3
Apply & cure
Control material, application, film build, cure conditions, and handling.
4
Inspect & protect
Check appearance, thickness, adhesion, masking, damage, and packing protection.
Deliverables & controls
Finish requirements that can be inspected objectively.
Document the technical basis so purchasing, production, inspection, and shipment use the same requirements.
Reference system or specification
Name the approved coating system, standard, supplier system, or customer specification.
Measurable acceptance criteria
Define thickness, color tolerance, gloss, adhesion, corrosion test, or visual standard as needed.
Masking drawing
Show protected threads, bores, fits, contacts, and datum areas clearly.
Approved sample or color standard
Use a physical chip or approved sample when appearance is commercially important.
Frequently asked questions
Questions buyers ask before release.
Use these answers as a starting point. Final acceptance criteria should be tied to the drawing, purchase order, and approved technical record.
Can you match a specific paint color?+
Yes, when a recognized color reference or approved sample is provided. Color and gloss tolerances should be agreed before production.
Should machined surfaces be coated?+
Functional fits, bearing seats, sealing faces, threads, and grounding points are often masked or preserved differently. The drawing should identify them.
Can you provide corrosion-test reports?+
Where required, the test method, duration, sample preparation, acceptance criteria, and reporting scope should be defined in the RFQ.
How do you prevent finish damage in shipping?+
Packing can include separators, protective films, caps, VCI materials, custom crates, and handling instructions according to part geometry and finish risk.
