Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products that are used by both industries and consumers.





The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish. Powder coating is the fastest-growing finishing technology in North America, representing over 10% of all industrial finishing applications.Okay when people say somthing like nerf bars or roof racks is powder coated what doese that mean.....?
powdercoating is alot thicker and stronger and last longer than paint, its sprayed on as a powder rather than liquid and then baked. most of the time things like nerf bars and roof racks are all powdercoated.
Powder coating is literally that ... the object to be coated is given an electrostatic charge and a pigment in very fine powder is sprayed on. Then the whole mess is baked in a kiln or oven to melt the powder into an even coat.


Paint is sprayed or brushed on and will have uneven thickness and strength. Powder coating is a continuous even coating of a given color and is very strong.
Powder coating is a dry finishing process, using finely ground particles of pigment and resin which are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a part to be coated. The parts to be coated are electrostatically grounded so that the charged powder particles projected at them adhere to the parts and are held there until melt and fused into a smooth coating in the curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high quality finish
powder coat looks more....rustic, paint is shinier (spelling?)
