That's the word I couldn't remember..........
And explains why all 50 are red!
Quote:
Process: A method of application rather than a paint. An automated system of painting on a production line such as automotive manufacture. Involves the dipping of the whole item in an acidic solution containing diluted paint (5%) which etches and applies the paint. There is no electricity or charge involved, and in this way is similar to electroless plating. Used most often in high volume manufacturing, where the same colour is used for long periods.
Mostly used as a primer for other top coats to be applied.
Strengths: Low cost, gets in the difficult areas of objects, uniform thickness.
Weaknesses: Long runs of one colour, unsuitable for jobbing, limited finishes available.
Durability: On its own 1 year. (always has a top coat)
Cost: £5 sqm
Health and Safety: Factory controlled
Environmental: Factory controlled
