What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a metal finishing process that replaces traditional wet paint that requires a durable, chip-free coating. More environmentally friendly than liquid paint, the pigmented powder utilized in the powder coating process is a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer which is applied electro-statically and then cured through a baking process allowing it to form a single complete skin covering the entire metal part. This insures that your vehicle’s parts keep their color and finish for much longer than traditional wet paint.
