We are here for all your Powder coating needs.
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that started during the 60s in the US. The process refers to the application of dry powder over metal substrates. It provides a protective film over common items such as automobile parts, household appliances, aluminum extrusions, outdoor furniture, etc.
The powder is made of polymer resins that provide a uniform finish over various substrates, including metal and non-metal components. The durability, adaptability, and longevity of powder coating make it the preferred finishing method over conventional paint.
Powder coating involves spraying dry powder onto a surface and then baking it at extreme temperatures to create a uniform and durable finish. Our experienced applicators use an electrostatic powder gun to spray colored powder. The powder is contained in pressurized air, which passes over an electrode in the gun, giving a positive charge to the powder, which adheres to the metal surface.
At Rusty Lions, we provide an exceptional finish with excellent durability. From architectural elements like railings and light poles to commercial and end-product applications like machine parts or outdoor furniture, our Powder Coating services can increase the life of your products at about the same cost as professionally applied paint.
The first step is to prepare the surface for powder coating. This may include sandblasting or chemical treatment to clean & condition the metal substrate to receive the powder coating.
Depending on your specifications, we will select the appropriate color, texture, & finish to create the desired outcome.
Our certified experts will use a spray gun to apply the electrostatically charged powder on the surface. The powder moves through compressed air and gains the charge when leaving the gun to stick to the surface.
Curing, or baking, is an essential step in the powder coating process. The part is cured inside a high-temperature oven, where the powder melts and spreads over the surface. Depending on the metal type, this step may take a few minutes to an hour.
Once cured, the part is allowed to cool off and then moved forward for packaging & shipping.

As professional tools & labor are frequently required, powder coating is usually more expensive than painting. Whether you do it yourself or pay a professional, painting may be inexpensive. In the case of powder coating, a metal double bed frame, for example, costs roughly $250 to $300 to have professionally powder-coated, which includes material & labor charges. It also includes the expense of sandblasting, which is sometimes required before applying the powder to remove the prior finish.
In comparison, painting it yourself will cost you around $50 in materials. It will cost roughly $100 to $150 to hire a professional to do it, including paint and labor. To achieve a long-lasting & durable finish, one must take into consideration the proper usage of the equipment as well as the proper application of the powders. Powder coating has become successful in making an impression of durability, affordability, and Eco-friendliness. That is why most manufacturers opt to use this technology in their products, especially in bulk production.
Powder coating at home can be challenging; if you wish to do it yourself, regular painting is the best alternative. The complexity of the powder coating operation makes it difficult for anyone who is not an expert in its execution. Powder-coating kits are available for purchase; however, they are primarily helpful for tiny objects. For smaller items, you may purchase DIY powder kits for $100 to $200.
Nonetheless, if you need to powder coat something professionally, you could pay anywhere from $100 - $500 or a charge of $55 to $75 per hour of labor. Powder coating anything large or medium-sized also usually necessitates the use of specialized equipment, whereas painting may be done & completed in the comfort of your own house or backyard.
Powder Coating is the best and modern way of surface finishing, which, unlike the traditional wet paints, uses the dry method of coating items or surfaces. On average, powder coating various car parts & accessories can cost about $2,000. The cost of Powder coating a car ranged from $1,000 to $3,000 in the US for 2019.
Although conventional powder coatings provide no evident danger to the human body, they may induce irritation and allergy when exposed to the human skin, eyes, & respiratory tract. The curing agent is much more hazardous than the resin in most powder coating resins. When formed into a powder coating, the toxicity of the curing agent is reduced to practical non-existence. Animal studies have revealed that there is no mortality or injury symptom after inhaling the powder coating, although there are varying degrees of irritation to the eyes and skin.
Powder Coating suspension or any other vehicle parts requires a similar process, which basically involves placing the powder-coated surface in an oven, then subjected to heat until it reaches its melting point. The finish is really impressive and very attractive, and the layer it creates is so sturdy, which is actually highly resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and scratches, unlike any other conventional wet paint.
The cost of powder coating varies by a great deal in the metal manufacturing industry. When calculating powder coating costs, you must consider whether to utilize a thermoset or thermoplastic product and determine the type of equipment, labor cost, etc. Hence there is no established cost as it depends on many variables; for more inquiry & more information, contact our experts today!
While powder coating demonstrates several essential & vital advantages over liquid coating, there are also some limitations to the process. These include:
The powder coating procedure begins with the removal of the tire and valve, leaving only the wheel, which is then cleaned to remove any dirt & grit before being chemically dipped to remove any old coats of paint. Following that, the powder coating is applied using compressed air. Since it is driven through a nozzle, it brushes against an electrode, which gives the powder a positive charge, resulting in a smooth coating that is cured in an oven for an exceptional finish.
The end finish greatly depend on the preparation of the surface. Preparation of the substrate or layer is vital to produce a quality coat. The surface or product which is to be coated must be free from oil traces, lubricants, and dirt particles. This is the primary step towards achieving a successful and high-quality finish. It is important to thoroughly clean the area and ensure that no chemicals or particles are present to avoid uneven coats. If correct preparation is not done, the quality of your finish might be negatively affected.
Powder coating is an excellent alternative for traditional wet painting used for automotive and other metallic materials. It is a process of application of a layer of a specially treated solid pigment in the form of a dry powder to a surface. Heat is then applied to the surface, causing it to undergo a chemical reaction as the temperature goes up. Following the chemical reaction, the powder melts & re-solidifies into a single solid surface that matches the contours of the item that is being coated.
Powder coating has more advantage over wet painting as it is cheaper, more ecologically friendly & creates a much more durable surface that is scratch-resistant. Moreover, an electrostatic coating is also applied in this process. This actually commences application by putting the powder into the target area using tribo or charging guns. Basically, a container is placed at the bottom with an air cavity where it is filled with powder for sticking a pre-heated coat to the surface, which is to be applied with the powder.
The cost of powder coating or sandblasting (a broad term that excludes other blasting processes) varies in the metal manufacturing industry. By a great deal, actually. When calculating powder coating costs, you must consider whether to utilize a thermoset or thermoplastic product. Thermoplastic is less expensive, but it is also less robust and heat resistant.
So, once again, it is dependent on the component to be coated. Do you require a more robust, heat-resistant coating? Before powder coating, components may need to be blasted. This treatment raises the expenses. The usage of specific colors also plays a role. For more inquiries & information, contact our experts today!
