A METHOD OF APPLYING A COATING TO A SUBSTRATE

摘要

A method is disclosed for coating a substrate in order to provide a componen t formed by the substrate with a desired aesthetic appearance. The method eliminates production steps, reduces production time and reduces production costs compared to known coating processes. This method comprises the steps o f washing a substrate with a cleaning agent, rinsing said cleaning agent from the substrate and pouring or showering a water borne adhesion promoter over the substrate. The method also includes the steps of heat flashing the substrate carrying the adhesion promoter, applying a base coat after the hea t flash step has been completed and applying a decorative coating layer onto t he substrate after the base coat has been applied. The method can also include the steps of applying a clear cover coat over the decorative coating layer a nd curing the clear cover coat to the substrate.
