Spray painting uses atomized paint to create smooth, even coatings on metal and plastic surfaces. It is widely used for CNC machined parts, sheet metal components, plastic housings, and 3D printed parts. Unlike powder coating, spray painting cures at lower temperatures, making it suitable for plastics, composites, and mixed-material assemblies. The coating is also much thinner - typically 15-80 μm per coat - which helps minimize dimensional impact on precision parts.
Spray painting also offers excellent color flexibility. We support RAL, Pantone, and custom color matching, including metallic, pearlescent, soft-touch, and gradient finishes. It is often the preferred choice for prototypes, consumer products, and assemblies that require consistent color across different materials.
Design Note: Spray painting adds 15-80 μm per surface - much thinner than powder coating. For precision CNC parts, we recommend masking threads, press-fit bores, and mating faces. Please mark masking areas on your drawing, or our engineers will advise based on your part geometry.
We paint metals, plastics, and mixed-material assemblies - a wider range of substrates than powder coating or anodizing can handle.
Aluminum
Applications
CNC housings · Enclosures · Brackets · Heatsinks
Finishes
All types - gloss, matte, metallic, soft-touch
Notes: Chemical conversion or light sandblasting for adhesion. Painting is preferred over powder coating when thin coatings or plastic-to-metal color matching is required.

Before and after comparison of our spray painting work on real parts.
Spray Painting and Powder Coating are common finishing methods for CNC parts. The best choice depends on your material, coating thickness requirement, and application.
| Feature | Spray Painting | Powder Coating |

| Color Flexibility | Unlimited custom matching | RAL standard + limited custom |
| Specialty Finishes | Metallic · Pearlescent · Soft-touch · Gradient | Matte · Gloss · Texture · Wrinkle |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good to excellent (with primer system) | Excellent |
| Best For | Plastics · Prototypes · Thin coatings · Multi-color | Metal production parts · Enclosures · Outdoor |
Choose spray painting when your parts are plastic, require ultra-thin coatings, need exact color matching, or involve multi-material assemblies. Choose powder coating for metal parts that need maximum durability and corrosion protection. Xmake offers both processes - our engineers will recommend the right finish for your application.
Contact usXmake integrates spray painting with CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, and other finishing processes in one streamlined workflow.
Surface preparation, primer selection, and paint application are coordinated with machining tolerances from the start. Color consistency and film thickness are verified per batch.
No outsourcing delays. Parts move directly from machining or 3D printing to painting on a coordinated schedule, with turnaround as fast as 7 business days.
