Ford Transit Paint Process-Kansas City Assembly Plant

The two-wet monocoat paint process reduces the paint application process from three layers to two and drying cycles from two to one, including a single co-bake processing of the monocoat and primer surfacer. The process uses a new paint formula that combines color with the properties of a clear coat. Removing the need for a separate clear coat application increases overall paint efficiency and reduces energy use and the physical space needed for paint operations.
