Painting, galvanizing, etc.
Stainless steel, steel and aluminum can all be painted.
Painting jobs are outsourced, depending on the application (wet paint, powder coating, KTL treatment, etc.).
(Steel) galvanizing is also outsourced.
Pros:
- Corrosion resistance combined with aesthetics.
- A varied choice of colours.
Cons:
- Constitutes an additional cost; stainless steel is often a good alternative to painted steel in terms of cost.
- The result is that there is a layer, which, once breached by e.g. a scratch, loses its resistance to corrosion locally
