How the finish is made

Four stages between bare metal and a finish that lasts.


Every job moves through the same four stages. Nothing is handed off, and nothing gets rushed at the step that decides how the coating wears.

  1. 01 Preparation

    The finish is won before the powder

    Every surface has to be clear of impurities before anything is sprayed. Depending on the item that means sanding, cleaning or abrasive blasting. The success of the whole process rests on this step.

  2. 02 Electrostatic spray

    A dry powder, electrically charged

    A solvent free dry mix of plastic resins, pigment and fillers is given an electrostatic charge and sprayed onto the surface of the item. The charge is what makes the powder wrap and hold evenly.

  3. 03 Oven cure

    Heat turns powder into a coating

    The item goes into a hot oven, which causes a chemical reaction. The powder melts and flows out into a single continuous film. This is the moment loose powder becomes a beautiful finish.

  4. 04 The finish

    Durable, smooth, built to last

    In a basic sense, the process ensures the most durable, smooth finish available. It is why powder coating outlives wet paint on gates, fabrication, wheels, furniture and architectural metalwork.

Metals and items

If it holds a charge and takes the heat, it can be coated.


Powder Coating can be used on any object or item that holds an electrostatic charge and can withstand the heat of the oven. That covers most of what comes through the roller door.

01

Mild steel

Gates, frames, brackets and general fabrication.

02

Galvanised and electroplated steel

Coated straight over the existing plating.

03

Aluminium

Extrusion, architectural sections, wheels and trim.

04

Stainless steel

Colour and protection without losing the substrate.

05

Most other steel alloys

Bring it in and we will tell you straight.

06

Garden statues

Yes, garden statues can be powder coated.

A world of colours to select from.


Colour is only half of it. The system, the finish and the metal underneath all change how a coating wears, so we work the options through with you before anything is sprayed.

Standard architectural ranges through to chromes and candy colours, matched to the system your job or specification calls for.

Colourbond The Australian architectural standard
RAL European reference colours by number
Chromes Mirror bright metallic coatings
Candy colours Deep translucent colour over a bright base

Powder coating, answered plainly.

Powder coating is a dry finishing process. A solvent free dry mix of plastic resins, pigment and fillers is electrostatically charged, sprayed onto an item, then cured in a hot oven. The heat causes a chemical reaction that melts the powder into one continuous, durable, smooth film.

Any object that holds an electrostatic charge and can withstand the heat of the oven can be powder coated. In practice that covers mild steel, galvanised and electroplated steel, aluminium, stainless steel and most other steel alloys. Garden statues can be powder coated too.

The success of the process relies on the prep work. All surfaces need to be clear of any impurities in order to create the best possible outcome. Preparation could include sanding, cleaning or abrasive blasting depending on the item.

There is a world of colours to select from, including fluros and neons, Colourbond, RAL, chromes, anti-graffiti, gloss, satin and matte. Textured finishes and candy colours are available as well.
