Part sizes

Small components through very large equipment.

Specified paint systems

Preparation, coat sequence and film thickness reviewed for each job.

Mil-spec painting

Coatings applied against the requirements of the specified system.

CAPABILITIES

Primers and topcoats

Primers

Primers bond the paint system to prepared metal and provide the base for subsequent coats.

Common uses

  • Prepared metal components.
  • Fabricated frames, tanks and pipe spools.

What matters for your part

Substrate, preparation requirements, compatible topcoats and primer thickness.

Epoxies & urethanes

Epoxies provide barrier protection; urethane topcoats can provide color and gloss retention outdoors. Products include PPG, Sherwin-Williams, Axalta, Hentzen Coatings and Tnemec.

Common uses

  • Process equipment and fabricated assemblies.
  • Industrial parts requiring corrosion protection and a defined finish.

What matters for your part

Coating specification, service environment, coat sequence, color, gloss and dry film thickness.

Mil-spec painting

Painting to the specified military coating requirements.

Work scope

  • Components with a military paint specification.

What matters for your part

Specification revision, required products, preparation, masking and inspection documentation.

QUOTE INFORMATION

What to include in your inquiry

Coating specification

Provide the paint specification and revision, manufacturer, primer and topcoat requirements, color and gloss.

Surface condition

Identify the substrate, existing coating, rust or contamination, and any stripping or blasting required.

Thickness & masking

State dry film thickness by coat and identify threads, fits and other surfaces that must remain unpainted.

Common questions

Can ACS paint to a customer or military specification?

ACS reviews the specified products, revision, preparation, coat sequence, masking, dry film thickness, cure and documentation before confirming the work. Supply the drawing and coating specification with your inquiry.

How is industrial paint thickness checked?

Inspection is matched to the specified coating system and job requirements. Include the required thickness for each coat and the inspection records needed at quotation.
