Is E coating expensive?

The cost of electrocoat is usually a high percentage of the total operating costs for an e-coater. Changes to the applied cost of e-coat can have an impact on operating costs and profits. You are in the business to make money, and profits are important.

What is an e coat of paint?

E-coating is an immersion wet paint finishing process that uses electrical current to attract the paint product to a metal surface. The E-coat process is a dipping (immersion) system very similar to what is used in metal plating except the finish uses organic paint particles not metal particles in the immersion baths.

What is an OEM e coat?

Most Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts come from the factory with a primer called e-coat. E-coat stands for Electro-deposition Coating. The part is dipped into a primer bath and the e-coat adheres to the part with the help of an electrical process. Most e-coat appears to be a glossy black coating.
