Surface
Preparation
& Pre-Treatment

The foundation every lasting finish is built on. In powder coating, finish quality is determined before a single gram of powder is applied. Inadequate cleaning or improper pre-treatment will cause adhesion failure, blistering, and corrosion regardless of coating quality. Our pre-treatment protocols align with SSPC surface preparation standards.

Our pre-treatment process at our Dunn, NC facility is systematic and thorough. Parts are processed through chemical cleaning and degreasing stages that remove oils, cutting fluids, oxides, and mill scale. If you're in Wake, Johnston, or Harnett County and have had finish failures traced back to prep issues, this is where we start the conversation.

FAQ

Common Questions
About Our Services

What types of metal parts can you powder coat?
We powder coat a wide range of steel and aluminum parts — from structural steel beams, frames, and welded assemblies to aluminum extrusions, railing systems, and equipment enclosures. If it's metal, hangs on a rack, and fits our oven, we can coat it. Parts with complex geometry, weld seams, or recessed areas are a routine part of what we process at our Dunn, NC facility.
Do you offer surface preparation, or do parts need to arrive prepped?
Surface preparation is included as part of our standard process. Parts go through chemical cleaning, degreasing, and phosphate conversion coating before any powder is applied. If your parts arrive with heavy mill scale, rust, or weld spatter that requires mechanical blasting, let us know during the quoting stage and we'll discuss the right pre-treatment for your material.
Can you match a specific RAL color or custom color standard?
Yes. We regularly match RAL colors, Pantone references, and customer-supplied physical samples. For architectural and branded projects, we produce an approval sample before processing full quantities. Once a color is approved, we document the specification so repeat orders stay consistent batch to batch.
Do you handle production runs, or only one-off orders?
Both. We work with fabricators on one-off custom jobs and with manufacturers on recurring production runs. For production customers, we set up recurring processing schedules aligned to their cadence — weekly batches, monthly runs, or whatever the workflow requires. Our Dunn, NC facility is set up for volume, and consistent quality across batches is a core part of what we deliver.
