After all the machining, tapping holes, etc. the builder has to then paint the castings. Often the castings have a rough surface. I would like to know how these rough, casting surfaces are prepared for final painting, and what kind of paint should be used to give that glossy, smooth surface?
I'm guessing that the castings are either filed, sanded, and then filled with some kind of glazing compound, then sanded again, until perfect...then, primed, and sprayed with paint. Are these paints, the kind that need to be baked; self leveling, high-gloss enamels?
Just wondering.
