Powder coating is significantly more durable than conventional paints. It is extremely resistant to chips, abrasion, heat up to 400 F , UV light, fuel and chemicals - up to 10 times more durable than ordinary paint. Powder coating eliminates runs, drips and sags common with paint finishes. Also, corrosion resistance properties are difficult to achieve with other methods or materials . Wide selection of colors available including OEM, translucent, and metallic.
Powder coating is environmentally friendly, there are no solvents or hazardous material used .
Because the powder adheres electrostatically, it must be applied to a very clean surface. It will not cling well to old paint, primer, most metal fillers or rust. The coated parts are cured in an oven at 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 20 minutes or more. Any materials that cannot withstand this time and temperature exposure must be removed before coating. This would include foam insulation, rubber, plastic, bushings, paper or gaskets.
