Prototype not only has certain skills and knowledge in the designing and making, but also have some common sense in post processing for painting.
When painting for prototype, it should go through the process of polishing. When we polish the product, we should consider the smoothness of the product, whether the corner of the parts clear and make sure the adhesive traces not exposuring. After finished polishing, we should do the ash treatment. Only we finish this step, can we start to paint. According to the international standard, the pantone number is required in painting. For the pantone number is designed for the global countries, which set a standard for the color regulation. The price of the pantone costs nearly 1000 yuan. Generally, it is necessary for professional injection factory to have one. So it is also necessary for customers to know the pantone, thus customers only need to provide the pantone number when the parts need to paint.
However, it is difficult for some prototypes to paint, such as steel, pp material, etc. For the paint is not easy to paste, when you touch them, the paint will come off. So the prototype with PP material is not easy to paint.
Only we grasp the common sense of the painting for prototype, can we make prototypes which satisfy the needs of customer.
