Why Powder Coat?
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a dry powder and then cured under heat to form a hard, durable finish. Powder coating provides a more durable and long-lasting finish compared to traditional liquid coatings, which can easily chip, peel, or fade over time. It is also resistant to scratches, corrosion, and UV damage, making it ideal for use on automotive vehicles.

Our Powder Coating Process
-
Surface Prep.
The surface of the part to be coated is cleaned and prepared to remove any dirt, oils, or other contaminants that could affect the adhesion of the powder coating.
-
Powder Application.
The powder coating is applied to the part using an electrostatic gun, which charges the powder particles and applies them evenly to the surface.
-
Curing.
The coated part is heated in an oven or infrared heater to melt and cure the powder coating onto the surface.
-
Inspection & Finishing.
The cured part is inspected for quality and then finished, which may include sanding, buffing, or applying a clear coat to enhance the appearance and durability of the coating.
