Seeds in the Paint Film
We have a coating line in our shop. For one of our customers, we recondition equipment cabinets. When we spray dark colored topcoats, we often find defects in the form of seeds on the surface. This doesn’t seem to happen when we spray light colors. Another problem we have from time to time is dust. What must we do to get seed-free and dust-free paint jobs?

I’ve heard that some shops are coating similar cast parts with a conductive paint and then plating on top of it. Can you please tell me where can I find some information on this process.
