Question 1

What can be powder coated?

Accepted Answer

Powder coating is best suited for any electrically conductive metal object that can withstand the heat of the curing oven, including steel, aluminum, and brass. Ex. Industrial Fabrications, Architectural Signage, Metal Fencing, Gates, Railings, Retail Displays, Aluminum Extrusions, Wheels, Trailers, Patio Furniture, etc.

Question 2

How does powder coat compare to liquid paint?

Accepted Answer

Powder coating creates a significantly thicker and harder layer of protection.

Question 3

What is powder coating?

Accepted Answer

Powder coating is a durable, eco-friendly finishing process that involves applying a dry powder electrostatically to a metal surface, which is then cured in a heat oven. It's more resilient than liquid paint, oLering superior resistance to chipping, fading, and corrosion, and it has significant environmental advantages, producing little to no hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Question 4

What are the benefits?

Accepted Answer

It creates a thicker, more resistant finish that is harder than liquid paint and protects against scratches, chips, fading, and corrosion. Powder coating’s inherent resilience leads to superior performance in harsh conditions and resists degradation over time.

Question 5

What colors do you offer?

Accepted Answer

There are hundreds of colors available. We have 150 colors in stock, this provides a faster turnaround and more competitive pricing. If you are interested in a color that we don’t stock, we can order it. This process normally takes 3-5 days. If you have something that you need color matched, we can send a sample to a lab for an additional charge.

Question 6

How long does powder coating last?

Accepted Answer

A properly applied and maintained powder coating can last for 15 to 20 years or even longer, especially in outdoor conditions, though its lifespan is influenced by factors like the quality of the coating, the pretreatment process, the specific environmental conditions it's exposed to (e.g., harsh sun, salt, chemicals), and ongoing maintenance.

Question 7

How big are your ovens?

Accepted Answer

8x8x25 
10x10x30

Question 8

My parts need to be sandblasted, how much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost to sandblast is $125.00 per hour. Sandblasting time varies significantly, ranging from a few minutes to several days, depending on factors like the size of the area, surface condition (rust, paint, layers), the type of material being blasted, and the complexity of the item’s design.

Question 9

What is your typical turnaround time?

Accepted Answer

We prioritize Industrial jobs and work within your timeline. Individuals can expect a lead time of 1-1/2-2 weeks depending on the color, size of the project, etc.
