There are literally THOUSANDS of other powder coating projects.

A good rule of thumb to use is to ask yourself this simple question:

“Is it metal?”

If it’s metal – it can be powder coated.

We can powder coat objects up to 24 feet long

There are some consistent patterns to be accounted for when powder coating. Your metal MUST BE CLEAN!

If it’s not clean – the powder coating job will be lousy.

So, how do you get off old paint to refurbish? Sandblasting is a start.

Sandblasting is a general term used to describe the act of propelling very fine bits of material at high-velocity to clean or etch a surface. A sandblaster shoots abrasive material at high, medium or light velocity to remove paint, dust, oil and dirt. It is used to prepare the surface for sealing or painting, and may also be used to refurbish the original appearance of surfaces.

Easier than using chemicals or a wire brush to clean
Can also be used to remove paint as well as rust build up
The added roughness gives new paint or sealant a better grip on the metal

Sand is the most commonly used material. Other materials that can be used are steel grit, copper slag, walnut shells, powdered abrasives, even bits of coconut shell.

When painting, one doesn’t want to trap dust, dirt, or bubbles in a previous layer of paint, or other imperfections under the new layer. By launching small bits of abrasive at the surface at a high, medium or light speed, all imperfections are knocked loose and can then be easily washed off, creating an incredibly smooth surface upon which to lay the new layer of paint. Sandblasting may also be used for such projects as cleaning the hulls of ships or large structures such as the Golden Gate Bridge.

Sandblasting is a great preparation method for Powder Coat. When powder coating, it is very important for the item you are coating to be completely clean of oils, dirt, paint, rust, corrosion, and damaged plating (zinc, nickel, chrome, etc.).

What is your powder coating process? Superior Powder Coating Utah

Sometimes working in the powder coating industry can be difficult. A few customers have had a bad experience at an alternative outfit and they want to know what makes your process better than what they had in the past.

The question that is typically asked goes like this:

What is your powder coating process?

It’s a great question and an awesome chance to explain the science behind powder coating.

Step 1 – Cleanliness

If you want the best possible finish with your powder coating, it all starts with CLEANLINESS. That sounds like something your mother would say right?

Obviously the process for preparing each part depends on the base material, metals and “others” – like fiberglass. Typically, the part is thoroughly cleaned to remove and oil or grease on the surface.

The next part is called “etching“. This process removes any surface oxides and makes sure there is more surface area for the powder coating to stick to. After the part is etched, the part is cleaned again.

Step 2 – Preparing part for coat application

Once the part is properly cleaned to receive coating, we move on to prepare for the coat application. Manufacturers of powder coating systems use a special blend of polymer resin. They also use requisite curatives and pigments to create each individual color and the finish your blessed heart desires.

Because the color and finish of the powder is determined at the manufacturing facility based on you order, the finished powder used on your project can not be changed or it will produce and uneven result.

(Make sure your coater uses the same powder from start to finish of your project)

Step 3 – Powder Coating Application

Say the words, “Electromagnetic properties” – sounds awesome huh?

Well, the powder that is placed inside of a powder coating paint gun charges the particles using either friction or an electrical source. Science makes the powder stick!

Next, the part that is being coated is grounded to provide an opposite charge that will attract the particles as they are sprayed. The thickness of the application will vary depending on whether the coating is external or internal, or the type of environment that the part will be used in.

The powder will continue to stick to the surface of the part as long as it is grounded, which allows for multiple sprays to cover the part. This helps with the powder coating process.

Step 4 – Curing

Once the part is completely coated it is placed in an oven which heats the coating to a minimum of 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the powder reaches this temperature it melts and flows together, forming long chemical chains which give the coating its rigidity and durability.

As it cools, the surface of the finish takes on a gel-like consistency until it reaches room temperature and is completely cured. Once again – science prevails!

Most powder coating finishes will not melt again once they have cured, meaning that they can be used in a wide range of applications and environments without cause for concern.

Powder coating is a scientifically proven finishing process. It requires specialized tools to achieve the electromagnetic charge for a strong bond.

Powder coating does offer a wide range of color and finish options – from glossy to matte. Powder coating also provides a more durable finish that is both corrosion and scratch resistant so your coating will last for years to come.

After your part has been powder coated, years later it can easily cleaned with warm soapy water and restored to its original shine within minutes.

Powder coating is a fantastic way to finish and protect parts made from nearly any material. It is suitable even in harsh environments where it may come in contact with chemicals or solvents. Your coating professional can adjust the thickness of the coating to stand up to industrial applications.

How to powder coat aluminum rims in 5 simple steps

Want to know how to powder coat your aluminum rims in 5 simple steps?

Superior Powder Coating for Aluminum Rims Process

Here are 5 steps to Powder Coating you should know before refinishing your rims:

Step 1

Bring your car over and drop it off. What color do you want your rims? Choose your color.

Step 2

Once wheels are dismounted, valve stem and weights are removed to prepare for sandblasting. The following stages must be followed to ensure lasting results. Reported problems with powder coating aluminum rims are a direct result of improper blasting or short-cutting the process. Be sure to confirm your Wheels are sandblasted to a Specification SSPC 5/NACE clean “white Metal” finish.

Step 3

The original wheels are sandblasted to a clean “White Metal” finish. This ensures a maximum powder bond. All impurities are removed before the powder is applied. This process also profiles the surface to provide for better adhesion. If your wheels aren’t sandblasted thoroughly the finish will be prone to flake or peel. Cleanliness is the most critical step of how to powder coat!

Step 4

The sandblasted wheels are statically charged and a small molecule epoxy primer is applied. After the primer is applied the wheels are heated to 400 degrees. The Primer offers a tighter mechanical bond between the top coat and the metal.

Step 5

Powdered wheels are heated to 400 degrees. After critical temperature is maintained the wheels are removed and returned to room temperature. The cooling process will harden the coating to a durable glossy finish. The powder coated wheels are returned to the body shop and mounted. Lugs are hand torqued for a final touch. Every wheel is finally inspected to confirm a perfect finish. 24hrs Later your vehicle is ready for pickup.

Superior Powder Coating guarantees your new wheels against rust or corrosion for 1 year. How awesome is that?
