How to apply metallic pink to stainless steel?

Surface preparation This step may include polishing, grinding, or sandblasting the steel to create a smooth surface, which promotes better adhesion of the coating. An acid solution, such as phosphoric acid, is usually used to etch the metal slightly, ensuring that the coating will adhere effectively. After cleaning, a primer is applied to the surface of the stainless steel. This step enhances the adhesion of the metallic pink coating and prevents corrosion, as stainless steel, although rust-resistant, can still benefit from additional protection. A primer designed for metal surfaces is usually used, which also helps to create a smooth and consistent base for the finish.

This involves spraying a fine powder containing metallic pigments onto the prepared surface. The powder is then placed in an oven and heated to cure, forming a smooth and durable metal layer. The pigments used in the powder give the stainless steel a metallic pink hue, which can be adjusted to achieve different shades according to specific requirements. For more flexibility, high-quality metal paints containing metal powders, such as aluminum or titanium, are sprayed onto the surface. These paints can be mixed with pink pigments to create the desired effect. After application, the paint is cured by heating or air drying to harden the finish.

Once the metallic pink coating is applied, the abstract cherry blossom tree sculpture will undergo a curing process that uses heat to fix the coating, ensuring that it adheres properly and is durable. This process also ensures that the coating is less susceptible to chipping, fading, and environmental factors. Depending on the type of coating, this may involve baking the abstract cherry blossom tree sculpture in an oven or using a curing chamber.
