Is it possible to obtain painted material that is finished on all sides?
A majority of our standard pre-finished material is finished on one side only. There are a few items, including white baked enamel and dark bronze/black painted, that are finished on both sides. On these items, masking is typically available on one side only. The cut edges of the material will be unfinished. With custom painted orders, it is possible to get close to full coverage in some cases. This is considerably more costly and labor intensive. No matter what, the painter will have to rack the material somehow. It is critical that an exact location for racking holes/rack marks is provided in order to ensure accuracy. On all architectural metals, there is typically some point on the part that will need to be fastened to something else, resulting in a condition in which some of the material is not exposed. These locations must be specified in order to provide some sort of anchoring point for the paint line. 100% full coverage on all exposed faces and edges of a part without rack marks
