Method for partially coating fasteners

摘要

A method for coating a metal fastener (49), comprising:
a) applying a protective plating over at least substantially all of a metal surface of the fastener to form a plated fastener;
b) vacuum coating (111, 108, 112) a portion of the plated fastener with a coating composition (60), the coating composition including a polymer material and a pigment material dispersed in a solvent; and
c) removing (130) the solvent, leaving a coating of a polymer composition including the polymer material and the pigment on the portion of the plated fastener.
