This could be an easy question, but I was wondering what the proper way to handle paint on drawings. Not the thickness or dimensions, but the actual paint color and how ordering a different paint color is handled. Currently, we don't put the paint on the drawing and order the part from our sister facility and specify the color in the order. This causes confusion at times and we receive an unpainted part.
We've discussed putting the actual color on the drawing, but if a different color is needed, we'd have to create a new part number and drawing. Also discussed putting the paint scheme on the assembly drawing, but that means the individual parts couldn't be ordered painted if we needed a spare, and could cross some of the same issues in ordering parts unfinished by accident.
