Why should a manufacturer consider switching from post-painting (painting after the parts are formed) to Prepainted Metal?
Obviously, it depends on the types of parts being produced and the manufacturing environment being used. Normally, a manufacturer cannot turn-off the lights in his plant on Friday and start using Prepainted Metal on Monday. Switching from post-paint to prepaint is a raw material, manufacturing, and product design change. It will take everyone in the manufacturing plant to embrace the necessary changes in order to make the switch successful. This includes top management, engineering, production, purchasing, marketing and sales.
