These are examples of aluminum railings that were prepped incorrectly by our competitors. As you can see, the powder did not adhere to the aluminum and flaked off after only 3 months of outdoor exposure. We stripped these railings and recoated them correctly.
Tom's tips
Before dropping off your parts:
- Create an inventory list and bring it with your parts. It also helps to list them by color. This will also help us with generating a price quote.
- If you are planning a project that will use both powder and liquid on the same unit, it is always best to pick the powder color first. It is easier to match the liquid to the powder rather than vice versa. We can spray a test panel for you take to the paint store when trying to make a match.
- Using masking tape or duct tape, mark any areas or places that you do not want blasted or coated.
Before picking up your parts:
- Bring old blankets/towels when picking up your completed parts. These can be used to protect the pieces during transport. Old carpet cut into small pieces also works well if you fold them over with the carpet exposed on both sides.
