Abstract: A method of manufacturing painted profiles from metallic strips and a corresponding machine. The method includes the following stages: a) providing a spool with a first material; b) providing a spool with a second material; c) making the first and second materials pass through together in such a way that the coat of primer of the first material and the coat of paint of the second material are juxtaposed and in mutual contact, while the assembly of materials undergoes heat and pressure; d) optionally, detaching and eliminating the film from the assembly of materials; e) shaping the assembly of materials continuously, keeping the assembly of materials, possibly without the film, at a temperature that is essentially the same as that applied in stage c) until stage e) is completed. The machine includes means for carrying out said method. Applicable to painting metallic strips by transfer, before continuous shaping.
