What is powder coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where a coloured powder is electrostatically applied to metal surfaces and cured with heat, creating a smotth, durable, and portective finish.
What items can be powder coated?
We can powder coat a wide variety of metal items, including automotive parts, furniture, signage, railings, machinery parts, sculptures, equipment frames, and more. If it’s metal – we can likely coat it!
Can I ship my items to you?
Absolutely. We welcome clients from across Northwestern Ontario. You can ship your parts to us, and once the job is complete, we’ll securely package and ship them back to you.
What colour options do you offer?
We offer a wide range of colours, finishes, and textures – including matte, gloss, satin, and metallics. We have access to all the colours offered by Tiger Drylac.
How long does the powder coating process take?
Turnaround times vary based on size and quantity of items. Rush jobs may be accommodated our current workload depending on the size of the project.
How durable is powder coating compared to paint?
Powder coating is significantly more durable than traditional liquid paint. It resists chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion – making it ideal for items exposed to wear, weather, or chemicals.
How should I prepare my item before bringing it in?
Remove any rubber, plastic, or non-metal parts. Ensure the products are sandblasted prior to delivering to us.
Can you powder coat over previously painted or coated items?
Yes – but the old coating must be removed first. Your product should be sandblasted to bare metal before delivering to us, we’ll apply a new finish to ensure proper adhesion and a high-quality result.
