Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Safety cover for rotating machinery - belting cover
Japanese term or phrase: 塗装要

Coating Required
Explanation:
There are a few options here. I like the sound of "coating" because it infers that it is painted on without saying it too directly. Just a thought.

painting required


Explanation:
塗装要とは「ここで使用しているＳＳ400の材質には塗装が必要です。」という意味だと思います。仕上げの色もマンセル云々と指定していますね。
ですから、カタログでよく見る上記の簡潔な表現にしました。
