Prepare the metal
Existing coatings, corrosion and contamination need to be addressed so the powder can be applied to a clean, suitable surface.
Durable finishes for suitable metalwork
Service 03
Powder Coating
Give suitable metal parts, components and fabrications a durable, consistent finish matched to the item and your project requirements.
01
About the service
A consistent finish made for suitable metal parts.
Powder coating applies a dry, electrostatically charged powder to a prepared metal surface. The item is then heated so the powder flows and cures into a continuous finished film, producing an even and durable surface without a conventional liquid-paint application.
It is well suited to many metal parts, frames, brackets and fabricated components where a consistent colour and finish are important. Suitability still depends on the material, construction, exact dimensions and ability to tolerate the curing process, so the complete item is reviewed before the work is confirmed.
Common applications
- Metal parts and components
- Fabricated items
- Frames and brackets
- Suitable commercial metalwork
Apply the powder
Dry powder is electrostatically applied to the item, allowing it to cover suitable faces, edges and detailed areas before curing.
Cure the finish
The coated item is heated so the powder flows and cures into a continuous finished film.
02
What the work involves
The complete item has to suit the coating process.
Powder coating is a heat-cured process. Material, dimensions, construction, existing finishes and the required appearance all need to be considered before an item is accepted.
Material suitability
The substrate must be suitable for preparation, electrostatic application and the heat used during curing.
Item size and geometry
Overall dimensions, enclosed sections, overlapping joins, deep recesses and complex shapes can affect preparation, hanging and coating access.
Existing coatings and corrosion
Old paint, powder, rust and contamination may need to be removed before the new finish can be applied.
Hanging and contact points
Items need practical locations for handling and electrical contact. Small witness marks may remain where the part is hung during coating.
Colour and finish availability
Colour, gloss and texture options depend on the selected powder range and the project requirement, so they are confirmed before work begins.
03
Job assessment
What determines whether an item is suitable?
Exact dimensions and clear photos matter because the whole component—not just the visible face—must move through preparation, coating, curing and handling.
Exact dimensions
Length, width and height are needed to confirm the item can be safely handled through the process.
Material and construction
Identify the metal type, wall thickness and any mixed materials, rubber, plastic, fillers or sealed cavities.
Surface condition
Photos of corrosion, old powder, paint, grease and damage help establish the preparation required.
Quantity and consistency
For multiple parts, provide quantities and note whether every item is identical or varies in condition.
Colour and finish
Include a colour code or sample where possible, along with the preferred gloss or texture.
End use
Explain whether the part will be used indoors, outdoors or in a demanding environment so the requirement can be assessed.

Powder coating suitability cannot be confirmed from colour alone. Send the complete item details so the team can assess preparation, fit, curing and finish together.
Include these details
- Clear photos of every item and its current surface
- Material and exact length, width and height
- Quantity and whether the items are identical
- Current paint, powder, rust or contamination
- Colour code plus gloss or texture preference
- Intended use and required completion date
