Powder Coating Process
The powder coating process includes: sandblast, prime, and powder coat. These three steps ensure that your product will be protected from outdoor exposure, scratches, chips, and more.
At Smith Powder Coating, we strive to provide the highest-quality powder coating in the Utah County area. We have years in the industry and understand the importance of the three-step powder coating process. Our method ensures that the metal product will be resistant to chips, scratches, flakes, and scuffs. Powder coating will also protect the metal from rust, corrosion, and sun fade. Learn more about our powder coating process below.
Three-Step Powder Coating Process
Step 1: Sandblast
First, the metal product is sandblasted to a pure white finish. This high pressure blasting removes all impurities from the metal including: old paint, rust, and oil. Sandblasting also creates a profile on the surface (similar to sandpaper), which helps the epoxy prime better adhere to the metal.
Step 2: Primer
Second, an epoxy primer is applied to the metal product. Once the metal surface is fully coated, the product is baked at 400 degrees. This allows the primer to melt deep into the profiled metal.
Outdoor products (including site furniture, business signs, and railing) will not hold up without primer.
Step 3: Powder Coat
Third, polyester powder coat is applied to the metal. Our durable powder ensures that the coating will hold up against everyday use, UV sun rays, cracking, and more. Once again, the product is baked at 400 degrees. After the metal has cooled, you will be left with a smooth, strong finish.
