Don't know what country you are in, so you will have to find your own local supplier.

We send masks and other fixtures away for teflon coating and that seems to work fine for those items.

The other alternative is that we use "raw" metal tools (no coating) and strip them back to bare metal whenever there is build-up. (Overnight soak in a tank of "gunwash" and brush clean next day.) The solvent in the tank lasts for a long time with a lid on. The clean tools look great and there is not potential for paint to flake off onto other product.

Another thing that we've used for fixtures that get constant overspray onto them is to "rumble" them with dry ice. (200 or so fixtures inside a portable cement mixer with 5Kg of dry ice pellets. The cold make the coating brittle and the parts bumping into each other chips the paint away.

Here in Pittsburgh we have roving gangs of frenzied MBAs who spray paint slogans like "Stop me before I credit default swap again" on public structures. So, we use ant-grafitti coatings like this

That, or a similar product, might work for you.

Try FC1800 or FC2600. THey are soluble teflons. Solubility in flouroinert at ~ 4%. Just spay on, heat to 80'C for a while. Leaves a 10 um teflon coating. Works well.

Take a silicon oil and spray manually all tools. Silicone are release agents, and the paint will come off easily. ask the local supplier of mold release agents such as the ones used for plastic injection moulding machines.

Write to me if you cannot find any, we can supply them to you in liquid form or in spray cans.

If you are in the painting game, then you will know the challenges that silicone sprays and such pose to your process.

One of my greatest frustrations was that our injection mould shop used silicone release agents and the paint shop (under the same manager) then has to try to get Class 1 finish on those parts.

It took YEARS of frustration and experiments to remove silicone from our facility so that painting would not be adversely affected. (We now use release agents that are compatible with our paint solvent system and have very few problems now.)

Silicone has its place, but in my opinion it's not near a paint shop. (Especially in aerosol spray form.) Cross contamination onto operators hands and then onto product is the most obvious concern, followed by "Where does the aerosol mist settle?" when you spray the tools. I Imagine fish eyes everywhere.
