Cut Costs, Not Corners: Are Finishing Operations Your Key to Labor & Cost Efficiency?
Aaron Wagner, Global Segment Director, Heavy Equipment, Sherwin-Williams General Industrial
The manufacturing industry continues to face labor challenges.
a s experienced workers near retirement, the skills gap left in their wake is proving difficult to fill. Skilled trades are in short supply, with many companies struggling to hire and retain qualified candidates.
Demand is also down. In industries like heavy equipment, short-term improvements remain uncertain. While some indicators like falling interest rates suggest a potential rebound, the debate continues as to whether these sectors will bounce back sooner or later, making it impossible to predict.
Cyclical markets like these can pose a greater risk to small businesses and job shops than larger corporations.
To remain in business and profitable, small business owners may need to adjust operations and find creative ways to manage costs while times are slow.
This is the time to look at your current processes.
a s leaders at Sherwin-Williams like to say, “focus on what you can control.” Instead of stressing about the cyclical nature of the market, think about what you can do now to be better prepared when it comes back.
» How can you reduce operational costs now while times are slower, in turn increasing profitability for the future?
» Is there an opportunity to reduce complexity and labor needs so you’re better prepared when the market ramps back up?

» a re there hidden bottlenecks or inefficiencies that you can streamline to increase capacity and profitability going forward?
There are many ways to approach this sort of ‘efficiency audit.’ For now, we’ll focus on one area: the paint line. While paint may seem like a tiny portion of your overall operation, the finishing process can significantly impact operational costs, specifically when it comes to labor and throughput.
Breaking down total applied finishing costs.
Total applied costs measure everything it takes to put the paint onto the part. This goes beyond the price of paint to factor in elements like labor, application speed, dry times, rework, waste, material and energy usage and, most importantly, throughput.
Today’s industrial coatings offer a lot of variety. There are formulas to meet all types of challenges, from faster dry times to reduced labor and more. Identifying bottlenecks now, while times are slow, is a great way to utilize down time and advance efficiency so that you’re ready when the market circles back.
For example, we had a customer that was facing significant challenges meeting supply demands. They had a complex finishing process and limited time to train crews, which led to quality issues and rework. Once we
understood their challenges, we recommended Duraspar Industrial Performance (IP) – a liquid coating known for its application efficiency.
The ready-to-spray formula and easy application of Duraspar IP improved their first pass yield and reduced defects by 50%. Faster cure times cut their baking cycle by 30% and the extended pot life reduced material consumption and waste. By making this one simple switch, this customer cut their finishing cycle time in half, from 48 hours to just 24 – proving that even small adjustments to

the finishing line can drive substantial improvements across multiple areas of operation.
Pay attention to coatings content.
Coatings selection should be based on your shop’s specific application and performance needs. While it’s easy to go with the lowest price per gallon or pound, it’s also just as easy to overspend on attributes that you may not need. Finding the best solution requires knowing what’s out there and what questions to ask.
Whether you use liquid or powder, the quality of your coatings has a big impact on the overall cost of your paint line. Spending a little bit more up front can lower your total applied costs by saving significant amounts of time and labor.
If you're using liquid coatings, formulas with a higher solids content can bring multiple benefits. With these formulas, painters can usually reach the appropriate film build in less passes, meaning you’ll buy less paint and spend less time applying it. Less solvents can also mean less VOCs, which can help companies meet sustainability regulations.
Pigment selection can also affect coating costs and performance – an important factor to consider if you’re exploring a new color or palette. Certain pigments cost more than others, depending on things like hiding strength, uV-resistance and organic content. Often, we recommend customers go with a shade slightly darker than their original choice, because the hiding strength can end up saving significant material, time and labor in the end.
Ensure optimal efficiency. ultimately, throughput depends heavily on the speed of your finishing line, so efficiency is critical. For powder coatings operations, that translates to transfer efficiency, which is substantially influenced by proper grounding. When parts are grounded, the surface attracts negatively charged powder particles and helps them stick evenly for a smooth, quality finish, delivering a faster application and reducing the need for rework.
all powder coating booths should have a grounding wire connected to an outside copper pole reaching six feet underground for this reason. Without proper grounding, the powder will cloud the spray booth instead of being attracted to the parts. This not only wastes product and affects the quality of your film builds, but it extends
application time and means filters will need to be changed prematurely. all of this leads to an uneven finish and additional rework, requiring unnecessary money, time and labor. Most importantly, proper grounding is essential for the safety of your crew.
Particle size and the specific gravity of your coating will also affect how the powder charges. If the particles are too fine or coarse, they will have trouble being charged and either fall to the floor or escape into the filter. If you’re using a powder reclamation system, particles will break down and get smaller the more they cycle through. If you’re not using a reclamation system, proper grounding is even more critical.
Measure film thickness.
For liquid and powder, film thickness – or the right amount of paint left on the surface with each coat – is a key factor to reducing waste and optimizing dry times.
There are tools to help you measure film thickness, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Dry film thickness gauges are relatively inexpensive – around a couple hundred dollars each – and they are good, accurate tools. However, measurements with this tool can only be taken once the paint is dry, so this type of testing can slow operations.
Measuring wet film thickness is another option. This tool is similar to a ruler. It is very affordable but requires you to dig into the paint while it’s wet. To avoid ruining a part, you may need to test measurements on a scrap piece of material prior to coating your parts.
a more technologically advanced type of film gauge uses lasers to measure without impacting the surface of the paint. These top-of-the-line tools work on wet or dry/ cured coatings, however they can run between $15,00020,000 each. Many small businesses lean on their coatings

supplier to bring these tools on-site during testing to help dial in processes.
Explore new formulas and technologies.
Industrial coatings have come a long way. If you’ve been using the same formula for a few years, now might be a good time to explore alternative solutions. new technologies can enhance both the quality and efficiency of your operations while working easily within your existing setup. These advanced formulas may have a higher price tag, but as stated before, the efficiency improvements gained can end up benefiting profitability in numerous ways.
Some new coatings formulas can eliminate an entire step in your finishing operation. For example, we have a Dust-on-Dust powder coating formula that allows the primer and topcoat to cure together in one step. This not only enhances efficiency and reduces energy usage, but it delivers better adhesion between the coats, strengthening durability and corrosion protection. new liquid formulas can also help speed up your finishing line. One of our newest solutions called Durapeak is a rapid cure coating that performs like a traditional polyurethane. We recommended Durapeak to a customer that was struggling to meet increased demands. Their cure cycles were creating bottlenecks, and the wet paint was causing quality issues during storing and transporting.
By switching to Duraspar High Speed epoxy primer and Durapeak topcoat, the customer increased first-pass yield by 30%. They reduced their repair needs by 30% and cut the time to repair by 20 minutes per part. all of this led to a 20% increase in capacity, allowing them to keep up with demand and position themselves for growth.
Identify the best partner.
Some coatings suppliers function more like partners than salespeople, even for small businesses. Being fully entrenched in the coatings industry, these experts can help educate you on the latest technologies and give specific advice on what would work best for your operation. act now, while times are slow, so you can streamline processes and achieve higher profit margins before demand returns. When it does, your operations will be ready to reach new heights.
