Paint Line System Review Checklist

Use this paint line system review checklist to assess and improve powder coating operations from end to end. Capture company details and system goals, then review pretreatment steps, substrate type, stages, dry off oven time and temperature, chemical supplier, and quality assurance. Evaluate application with booth and equipment vendor, reclaim settings, number of guns, gun and pump condition, hose and booth condition, touch up, environmental room, powder storage, line speed, conveyor, carriers and hooks, and first pass transfer efficiency. Verify cure with oven type, dwell time, temperature, and profiling. Inspect quality by checking defects and reject rates. Document powder coating chemistry, product codes, cure schedule, end use, required physical properties, packaging, and sample details. Perform tests for color and gloss, appearance, film thickness, particle size, salt spray, hardness, impact, and adhesion. Conclude with observations and recommendations to reduce defects and improve throughput.
