What is Powder Coating?
Understanding Melbourne's preferred metal finishing solution
Powder coating is an advanced dry finishing process that produces a durable, high-quality finish far superior to traditional wet paint. In Melbourne's variable climate—from hot summers to wet winters—powder coating provides unmatched protection against corrosion, UV damage, and weathering.
Superior Durability
Lasts 15-20 years with proper care, compared to 3-5 years for conventional paint
Environmentally Friendly
Zero VOC emissions, 99% material utilization, no hazardous air pollutants
Cost-Effective
Lower long-term maintenance costs and longer lifespan make powder coating the smart investment
Unlimited Colors
Thousands of color options including custom matches, metallics, and special finishes
Our Powder Coating Process
Professional metal finishing in 6 precision steps
Initial Assessment
Free evaluation of your items to determine the best coating approach, surface preparation needs, and accurate pricing for your Melbourne project.
Surface Preparation
Professional abrasive blasting in our in-house facility removes old coatings, rust, and contaminants. This critical step ensures maximum powder coating adhesion.
Pre-Treatment
Chemical treatment or primer application (if required) creates an optimal bonding surface for the powder coating to adhere to your metal substrate.
Powder Application
Electrostatic application ensures even coverage of your chosen color. The powder particles are electrically charged to attract uniformly to the metal surface.
Curing Process
Items are cured in our specialized ovens (up to 9.6m capacity) at precisely controlled temperatures. This melts and fuses the powder into a durable finish.
Quality Inspection
Thorough inspection ensures perfect finish quality before delivery. Every item meets our strict standards and your expectations for excellence.
