Organic coatings are polymers and resins that are applied as liquids and dry into thin protective surface films. They are valued for their variety of possible colors and textures, ability to protect substrate surfaces, low cost, and ease of application. The composition of organic coatings includes binders, dyes or pigments, solvents, and additives, and coating methods must consider thickness, production rates, costs, part size, and environmental factors.

2.  Organic coatings are polymers and resins,
produced either naturally or synthetically,
usually formulated to be applied as liquids
that dry or harden as thin surface films on
substrate materials.
 These coatings are valued for the variety of
colors and textures possible, their capacity to
protect the substrate surface, low cost, and
ease with which they can be applied.

3.  Binders, which give the coating its properties
 Dyes or pigments, which lend color to the
coating
 Solvents, to dissolve the polymers and resins
and add proper fluidity to the liquid
 Additives

4.  Composition of the coating liquid
 Required thickness of the coating
 Production rate and cost considerations
 Part size
 Environmental requirements

5.  Phosphate coat applied by dipping,
 Primer coat applied by dipping,
 Color paint coat applied by spray coating, and
 Clear coat (for high gloss and added
protection) applied by spraying.
