Process	Air spray painting Good finishing results (e.g. cars, furniture), and protection through spraying of water based zinc-silicates. Penetration is not very good and therefore the process is not suited for first coatings. Paint is atomized (comminuted in very small drops) by the air flow, and then applied on the substrate. Risk of overspraying which results in material wastes.
