Does Powder Coating Work?
When it comes to providing a state-of-the-art, durable metal coating, there is no better option than powder coating. This unique process can protect vehicles, buildings and even smaller items such as patio furniture. So how does the powder coating process work? The experts at Powder Vision, Inc. in Issaquah, WA offer an inside look at their unique work process.

Part Preparation: The first step to a successful powder coating is to remove dirt, oil and other contaminants from the parts that will be coated. This typically involves sandblasting the parts and then cleaning them with an alkaline cleaner or an iron phosphate solution to prevent rusting and help the powder stick to the parts. The parts are then rinsed with clean water and dried in

    Janmar Coatings, Inc., based in Dallas, Texas, is a privately held corporation that markets its architectural paint coatings and sundries (brushes, rollers, paint removers) in over 50 counties in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Louisiana. The company produces and sells architectural paint under their brand name. They also operate a large original equipment manufacturing coatings division. The company divides into the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area and the non-Dallas-Fort Worth area. The 11 county Dallas-Fort Worth area is the major business and financial center. Their mission is to increase profit in the non-DFW and DFW category. In 2004, industry sales grew to $16 billion, with Janmar’s sales at $12 million. The net profit for the company before taxes was $1,140,000. Dollar sales had increased at an average annual rate of 4% per year over the past decade. Paint gallonage, however, had remained stable over the past 5 years. Ronald Burns said, “We have been very successful in maintaining our margins even with increased research and development, material and labor costs, but I’m afraid we’re approaching the threshold on our prices.” As a result, Janmar was now the highest-priced paint in their service area. In 2004, there were 60% net sales for paint cost of goods sold, including freight prices. Janmar is present in 200 independent stores, lumberyards, and hardware outlets. Retail outlets outside the Dallas-Fort Worth area with paint and sundry purchases exceeding $50,000 annually carry only the Janmar product line. There are 80 stores (40%) located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, 66 of which carry 2-3 competing brands. Burns discussed the DFW outlets and the effect of multiple lines has been to cause a decline in gallonage volume. The non-DFW outlets, by comparison, have grown in gallonage volume. “When you combine the two, you have stable gallonage volume,” remarked Burns. Janmar employs 8 sales representatives, all…

    Electrocoating, or e-coating, uses a system whereby a DC electrical charge is applied to a metal part immersed in a bath of oppositely charged paint particles. The metal part attracts the paint particles, forming an even film over the entire surface, until the coating reaches the desired thickness. E-coating was generally considered more cost efficient compared to traditional wet paint systems.…

You will have to double check to see if you missed any spots on the vehicle you're restoring , if you did keep sanding until the car is smooth and looks a little cloudy. After you're done you will have to start preparing to paint your dream car. “Most people will use an automotive spray gun to apply the primer and you will need to have a safety mask on when painting. Do not pour the primer directly into the spray gun cup but first place a strainer in and then pour in the primer. This strainer will get rid of any clumps or dirt that could ruin the spray gun. You may not need to use a spray gun though this ensures an even coat which is important when applying primer.”. After applying two coats of primer you will let it sit an hour to two hours to set and then come back and spray another one or two coats. “it will usually take two or three coats to cover the surface completely.
