Claims7
A method for covering a component with an anodic paint comprising:
- spraying a liquid onto a surface of the component, the liquid being laden with metallic pigments;
- polymerizing the sprayed liquid in order to obtain a protective layer on the component;
- and
- compacting the protective layer in order to obtain an anodic paint layer by sand-blasting involving directing at least two jets of sand toward the component, the jets being oriented convergently and meeting at a focal point,
- wherein the focal point is positioned upstream of the component such that the paint is not damaged and its cosmetic integrity is preserved.
