Frequently Asked Questions

How does powder coating work?

Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a grounded part. The curing cycle melts the powder, fusing it to the part. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality finish.

Why is powder coating the best choice?

Powder coating looks like paint, but acts like a tough armor. It’s extremely tough, yet beautiful, cost-effective, and easy on the environment. It’s a safer, cleaner coating choice that provides a superior, lasting finish. Powder coating is resistant to corrosion, heat, impact, abrasion, fading from sunlight, and extreme weather.
