Powder for metal coatings comes in many different colors, textures, and looks. They are essentially liquid coating in a powdered form. Powders are made from mostly polyester and urethanes which give them their durability and UV resistance from fading, however, there are epoxies and hybrids as well. Most are just a single-stage application. Some are two-stage or colors that require a clear coat.

Depending on the condition of your project it’s important to know which powder will work best for you. Watch this video playlist to learn it all in just a few minutes!

Can you powder coat over anodized aluminum?

Yes, you can powder coat over anodized aluminum.

In most cases for new anodized aluminum, a light sanding of the surface and acetone wipe will suffice.

However, older anodized aluminum will most likely need abrasive blasting. You can then powder coat to color, put in the oven for curing, then put in service.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” show_divider=”off” hover_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_divider][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ hover_enabled=”0″]

How long does it take for the powder coat to dry?

Powder coated items do not dry like traditional paint.

Once an item is prepped (abrasive blasted then treated with a metal prep solution) it is then placed into one of our ovens.

When the item reaches its target temperature, the powder flows out and generally cured in 15-30 minutes.

Once the item is out of the oven and cooled, it can be put immediately back into service.
