Painting of composite parts
In our own paint shop we paint and finish carbon, glass fibre and forged carbon parts – from surface preparation to the top coat. Parts leave us ready for assembly.
What we paint
Order painting together with the part or as a separate service.
- Visible carbon and forged carbon – a clear coat brings out the fibre structure and protects the surface
- Colour-painted parts – coloured paints on carbon and glass fibre composites
- Gloss, matt or satin finish
- Parts after 5-axis CNC machining – with finished edges and holes
How painting works
We inspect the surface after every step – preparation matters most, because paint shows every flaw in the laminate.
- Surface preparation: degreasing, sanding and filling the pores of the laminate.
- Primer – for colour-painted parts.
- Colour coat, or a clear coat for visible carbon.
- Sanding between coats and polishing – depending on the required finish.
- Inspection of the coating and preparation of the part for shipping or assembly.

Questions and answers
Do you paint forged carbon parts?
Yes. A clear coat brings out the marbled structure of the chopped fibres and protects the surface. The finish can be gloss, matt or satin.
Can painting be ordered together with the part?
Yes. The part goes through moulding, CNC machining, painting and inspection at our plant and leaves ready for assembly.
Do you paint visible woven carbon?
Yes. On visible woven carbon parts we use a clear coat that brings out the weave and protects the laminate.
