With a broad range of paints and metal coating products available on the market, choosing a painting system and evaluating its cost effects can be challenging. We put together a guide to help you make educated decisions and save costs.
The first step to making the right selection is to consider the same types of chemistries, in any paint product comparison you do. For example, don’t compare an epoxy to a polyurethane, or a direct-to-metal to a primer or topcoat. Also, be careful in which unit the paint information is given, liters or kilograms as you should not compare them one to one. A good alternative is to make your comparisons in square metres.
Calculate the total costs and improve the production process
With the help of our guide, you can avoid mistakes and make good purchasing decisions, taking into account the entire production process and the product's life cycle.
We go through the following points in the guide:
- What should you consider when choosing industrial paints
- Coating comparisons to avoid so you don't get misleading results

The more carefully you choose the painting system and calculate the actual total costs, the more cost-effective the production process becomes. At the same time, you can also improve the quality of the final products.
