When the term “Powder Coating” is brought up many people are uncertain about what this type of coating actually is and how it can be applied.
First we must look at what powder coating is. Powder coating is the process in which a pigmented powder is magnetically charged, sprayed onto a grounded metal part, warmed up to over 400+ degrees, and melted down into a liquid/gel state, and hardens into a solid surface once it has met its Cure time. This particular type of coating can only be applied to bare metal or previously powder coated objects. If your item has heavy grease or paint on it, it can be sand blasted or washed off with a high temperature pressure washer with de-greaser.
Second, we must take a look as to why you may want to consider powder coating over traditional automotive paints. This coating is much stronger. it may not be bullet proof, its much more durable than paint. Powder coating has much better corrosion resistance and durability for a longer lasting coating. It is also eco-friendly and generally cheaper than expensive paint processes. With powder coating there are no harmful VOC’s or solids being used so there is no effect on the environment!
