Sprayed layers of polyurethane: Using a spray gun, primer coats (preparation layers for top coat layers) and polyurethane (black shiny coating) are sprayed. When multiple layers are sprayed in succession, the finish gets thicker and thicker until the entire surface is covered with a black, shiny finish. Polyester is the most common type of plastic used in spray paint.
It is a very durable plastic that can be used for a wide variety of applications, such as furniture, flooring, carpets, upholstery, and many other applications. The polyester finish is very thin, so it is easy to work with, but it can also be very difficult to remove from the surface of the finished product.
This is why it’s important to be careful when working with this finish, as it will leave a residue that will not easily be removed by sanding or polishing.
