Many epoxies and ceramics discolor, yellow, or lose gloss when exposed to UV rays over time. Powder coatings are often used as a workaround for outdoor exposure, but they come with their own limitations—especially when tight tolerances are involved.
Aegis coatings, in contrast, are designed to resist UV degradation.

Laser Marking on Thin-Film Ceramics | Tech Tip #2
Multiple layered colors of thin film paint can reveal layered colors, using laser obliteration without needing stencils.
Definition: Laser ablation or photoablation is the process of removing material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam.
Certain colors can also be exposed to a laser for altering shades, and in some cases, additional colors can be found within the parent layer of coating.
Paint & Coating Agitation Prior to Application | Tech Tip #1
Components that make up liquid paint formulations will settle. Various weights of the ingredients will need agitation prior to adding paints to spray application equipment and also prior to adding activators or hardeners.
