Painting & finishing

In-house painting and finishing for fabricated assemblies and repair work.

Plan the finish before fabrication ends

Finish requirements are reviewed with the build so surface preparation, handling, access, color, and cure time are not left until the end.

Useful questions

Can Barnes paint a fabricated assembly it builds?

Barnes identifies in-house painting and finishing as part of its connected fabrication capability. Send the drawing, size, use, color, and finish requirements so the current project fit can be reviewed.

Which coating systems are available?

Share the requested finish, use, preparation, size, and handling requirements. We confirm the coating plan from those project details.
