Our Powder Coating Services

Comprehensive in-house powder coating and surface finishing solutions for custom metal parts, fabricated assemblies, and specialty industrial applications.

Thermoset Powder Coating

We apply durable thermoset powder finishes including epoxy, polyester, nylon, and polyurethane formulations, delivering outstanding corrosion, UV, and abrasion resistance for industrial and fabricated metal components.

Blast Surface Preparation

Our blasting booth uses silica sand, steel shot, and bead blasting to prepare metal surfaces, remove defects, and optimize coating adhesion for long-lasting, high-performance finish results.

Liquid Paint Finishing

Alongside powder coating, we apply liquid paint finishes suited for specialty applications requiring precise color matching, thin-film coverage, or unique surface aesthetics on custom fabricated assemblies.

Metallic & Specialty Finishes

From metallic powder formulations to specialty coatings, we offer consultative finish planning to select the right protective or decorative coat for your project's performance and visual requirements.

Corrosion-Resistant Coatings

Engineered for demanding environments, our corrosion-resistant coatings protect agricultural, aerospace, and industrial parts from rust, moisture, and chemical exposure throughout their service life.

Low-Volume Specialty Jobs

We accommodate custom, low-volume specialty coating orders with the same precision and quality standards as high-volume runs, making us ideal for prototype, repair, or one-off fabrication finishing needs.
