Take a look through the photos below for detailed views of our finishing capabilities.

Benefits of powder coating

  • Yields thick, hard finish that is tougher than traditional paints.
  • Electrostatic stage greatly increases the efficiency and productivity of coating by nearly 95%, less paint is wasted and the metal object is fully coated. Powder coating has a one coat finish.
  • It creates an even flat surface, the powder is sprayed and heated without drips or application traces.

Drawbacks of powder coating

  • The thick finish it produces can be a drawback depending on your needs
  • Can be expensive for smaller jobs. Powder coating requires spray materials, electrostatic booth and an oven.

Benefits of wet paint and plating

  • Ideal for products which cannot be heated for powder coating, powder coating requires an oven while wet paint finishing does not.
  • Wet paint has a wider color selection, so if you have a custom color job wet paint is probably the way to go.
  • Produces a thinner finish than powder coating.
  • It is an economic finishing process.

Drawbacks of wet paint and plating

  • Not as durable as powder coating.
  • Can require multiple finishes to get an even, perfect finish.
