. (A special process is utilized for powder
coated parts). Edges and areas hard to reach by spraying are primed
using a brush, after which primer is sprayed on all parts.
When using zinc rich paint, overcoating with intermediate paint is
done immediately after the minimum overcoating interval time of the
paint has elapsed, in order to protect the surface from zinc corrorion
products (white rust). Surface preparation and painting are carried
out in indoor paint shops in a controlled environment. After the paint
is cured, the parts are transported to the machine shop and assem-
bled into the complete machine. Before application of further coats
of paint, the surfaces are roughened and washed to ensure good
adhesion between the paint layers. Painting is then completed.
