To create our bright finishes VMC Limited uses a process called Thermal Vacuum Metallisation.

Firstly, a base lacquer coating is placed onto the components which then undergo a stoving process. The parts are then placed inside a Vacuum Chamber. Once under vacuum, an electric charge is passed through tungsten filaments containing pure aluminium, which vaporises and coats the rotating work.

Finally, a protective coating of clear Top Lacquer is sprayed on creating a Lacquer-Aluminium-Lacquer "sandwich". The lacquer may be coloured to providing a limitless range of beautiful metallic finishes. The top lacquer can also be resistant to various chemicals (Alcohol, Perfume etc.). "You tell us the end use... we can supply the correct Lacquer for your requirements!"
