Powder Coating Information
Powder Coating Process
Powder coating is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The coating is applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." It is used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
- Part Preparation - surfaces are cleaned and prepared, usually by shot blasting.

Common Powder Coating Questions
- What can you powder coat? - Almost anything can be powder coated. As a general rule, if you can paint it, it can be powder coated. Contact us with any specific enquiries.
- Can you coat large objects? - yes. We have a 7m long oven!
- How long does it take? - many of our services are available on a same-day turn around.
- Is it better than painting? - yes. Powder coating provides a surface that is far tougher and more durable than conventional painting. A powder coated item will have a surface finish of more uniform appearance (no brush strokes!) and will last much longer.
