When it comes to providing metal with a finish that is long lasting, visually appealing and durable, powder coating offers you benefits that regular wet paint applications simply can’t match. It is no wonder that powder coating is not only an alternative to wet paint, but considered the superior choice!

What makes powder coating the superior choice when finishing metal?

• Better Durability:
  The powder coating process uses electrostatic charge to bond the coating directly to the metal. This ensures maximum durability against abrasiveness. Wet paint on the other hand dries to form a shell that can be removed with enough abrasion. This shell layer is prone to chipping, peeling and flaking as the surface painted isn’t always completely cohesive.
• Longer Lasting:
  Powder coating simply lasts longer than wet paint. It will not break down when exposed to dirt, dust and UV light and allows your item to keep its bold, bright colour.
• Outstanding Performance:
  The truth is that regular paint makes metal surfaces look nice but cannot offer any real degree of protection. Powder coating on the other hand is able to stop physical abrasion. In addition, when coating in done after a comprehensive pre-treatment process, it offers a whole host of other benefits including resistance to corrosion, moisture and other destructive elements.
• Real Value:
  There are a number of factors that one needs to consider when looking to measure the real value of powder coating. These include: the low material cost of powder, the speed of production and fast turn-around times. When calculating return on investment, one also has to take into consideration that the overall longevity of the powder coating finish far outweighs that of wet paint.
