Specialty Finishes has multiple systems in place that enable us to ensure every part meets your level of specification. We will perform any and all visual and technical inspections, and provide any documentation or certificates of compliance that you or your customers require. Read more about our service options.

We've created cosmetic quality assurance definitions, expectations and protocol to ensure quality requirements are met. Here is a list of our Cosmetic Standards:

Class A: Top Quality, Virtually Flawless

These parts have color and quality attributes that are highly visible to the end user. No immediately observable flaws or blemishes exist beyond an 18” viewing perspective for a duration equivalent to approximately one second per square foot. Typical industries requiring this cosmetic class will include aerospace, medical, dental, high tech and consumer goods.

Class B: Moderate Quality, Minor Imperfections

Parts are not in direct view of the consumer. Defects from coating manufacturing features may exist (i.e. weld spots, pems, studs, etc). Touch-ups are acceptable. Industries include military, industrial, marine and transportation.

Class C: Utilitarian, Cosmetic Appearance Not Imperative

Parts are only viewable during maintenance. Cosmetic appearance is not critical if coating has achieved 100% coverage with specified colors/materials. Industries include structural, vehicle undercarriage, shop racking and prime coats.
