When it comes to protecting metal surfaces from corrosion and other environmental damage, powder coating provides better overall performance than wet paint. Not only is it more resistant to chipping, scratching and wearing, it is also provides superior colour retention. The thickness of powder coating also provides a physical toughness, especially when it comes to outdoor products.

Importance of Pre-Treatment:

For powder coating to provide the optimum finish, a thorough and comprehensive pre-treatment of the product needs to take place prior to coating. A comprehensive pre-treatment, when done correctly, can significantly extend the lifespan of the product coated.

Colour Choices & Durability:

Traditional fresh liquid paint jobs tend to lose their shine and “new look” quicker that those that are powder coated. Powder coating is also a more effective and efficient solution. Not only are you spoilt for colour choice, but powder coating also offers a shinier and finer finish. Perhaps the biggest advantage of powder coating is the fact that it is much more durable and wear-resistant than any conventional liquid paint.

Maintenance:

Lastly, powder coating on outdoor items requires little to no maintenance. Regular wiping, cleaning and washing won’t affect the finish.

When looking for a more durable and wear-resistant finish, powder coating may just be the solution.
