In-situ coating assemblies and methods provide an aesthetically pleasing sprinkler assembly. An in-situ coating assembly includes a sprinkler body having a proximal portion and a distal portion; a thermally responsive trigger disposed adjacent to the distal portion; and an aperture shield centered about a distal portion of the sprinkler body so as to define a void between the sprinkler axis and the aperture shield. A coating inhibiting cap encloses and protects a thermally responsive trigger between the sprinkler body and the cap. The cap extends into the void and is spaced radially inward relative to the aperture shield so as to expose surfaces of the aperture shield for coating. 原位涂覆组件和方法提供了美观的喷洒器组件。一种原位涂覆组件包括：具有近侧部分和远侧部分的喷洒器本体；与该远侧部分相邻布置的热响应触发器；以及孔罩，该孔罩围绕该喷洒器本体的远侧部分定中心以便在该喷洒器轴线与该孔罩之间限定空隙。涂覆抑制帽将包封并保护在该喷洒器本体与该帽之间的热响应触发器。该帽延伸进入该空隙中并且相对于该孔罩径向地向内间隔开以便暴露该孔罩的多个表面来进行涂覆。
