Is Powder Coating Right for You?

Powder coating uses a dry powder, sprayed from an electrostatic gun, to paint and color various surfaces. It is durable, customizable, and requires little maintenance. As a result, many people use powder coating for their projects. However, powder coating may not be necessary for all situations. Here, we discuss a few signs that can tell you if powder coating is right for your next project:

You need something that will withstand almost anything

If the object you want painted is going to be outside or deal with heavy foot traffic, you’ll need a paint job that can withstand all the wear and tear. Powder coating is twice as thick as normal paint. As a result, it’s much more durable and long-lasting.

You can’t spend a lot of money

Not only is powder coating durable, it’s also cost-effective. The materials required for powder coating are relatively inexpensive. Plus, due to its efficiency, you won’t be using up as many materials as you would with traditional painting methods.

You want a particular kind of look

With most painting methods, you’re stuck with the colors they give you. However, with powder coating, you can have virtually any color or finish that you desire. You can craft your own unique blend to ensure you get the exact look and feel that you want.

You need something low maintenance

Once powder coating is dry, you don’t have to do much else. As a result, powder coating is perfect for busy people who don’t have time to repaint or repair certain objects. The only thing you’ll have to do is clean your powder coated object a few times per year.
