Single-Stage & Two-Stage Colors:
There are several examples when multiple coats of powder will be involved in the coating process. It's common to add an optional clear coat stage - providing a glossy finish & extra layer of protection.
Some colors require a clear coat stage:
- Chrome & Metallic Colors need a clear coat to protect them from oxidizing.
- Candy Colors require a chrome base to create the "candy" texture dimension.
Please reference this powder coat color list to choose your coating color. You'll see that each color has a name (Ex: Passion Red) & an item number. (Ex: PSS-4783). Providing us with this information helps to ensure the right color is communicated and delivered.
Note: Please read the description for your chosen color to see if it is a single-stage color or if it requires a two-stage top coat color.
- LONGEVITY: Expect your powder coated parts to maintain their appearance for a VERY long time. The thermal bonding process ensures resistance to many damaging factors and a simple cleaning process of light scrubbing with water, leaving the color intact. Enjoy vibrant colors for a long time without acquiring chemical or scrubbing damages.
- DURABILITY: Resistant to chipping, fading, scratching and typical wear. This protects it against sunlight and other environmental factors. It also protects against RUST - which is a big danger to parts exposed to the outdoor air and moisture during harsh winter conditions.
- ECO-FRIENDLY: Powder adheres to surfaces through an electrical charge, so it doesn’t require harsh chemicals or solvents. This eliminates any use of volatile organic compounds (VOC's - which are often found in traditional liquid paints) whose use is actively discouraged by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to their extreme danger to our environment.
