What types of metal fabrication can you powder coat?
We powder coat a wide range of fabricated metals including steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and galvanized materials. Our 10' × 10' × 30' production oven accommodates large architectural components, structural steel, industrial equipment, railings, custom fabrication, OEM parts, and marine-grade applications. We work with manufacturers, fabricators, and contractors across Tampa Bay to finish everything from precision components to oversized structural elements, all with AAMA certified products and controlled curing processes.
How long does the powder coating process take?
Turnaround time depends on project complexity, surface preparation requirements, and production schedule. Standard jobs typically complete within 5-7 business days from drop-off to pick-up. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time for thorough surface prep and curing. We provide clear timelines upfront and communicate throughout the process to support your production planning. Rush services may be available for time-sensitive manufacturing needs—contact us to discuss your specific schedule requirements.
Do you provide surface preparation before powder coating?
Yes, comprehensive surface preparation is a core part of our process. We offer abrasive blasting, shot blasting, grit blasting, and sand blasting to remove rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants. Proper surface prep is critical for coating adhesion and long-term durability. Our team carefully selects the appropriate media and blasting parameters based on substrate type, coating specifications, and performance requirements. Every surface is prepared to meet exact specifications before powder application begins.
What quality certifications do you follow?
We operate under QC Certified Program compliance and TDS (Technical Data Sheet) compliance standards, using exclusively AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) certified powder coating products. Every job undergoes final inspection before release to verify coating thickness, coverage, finish quality, and cure integrity. Our process-driven approach ensures consistent, repeatable results that meet architectural, industrial, and specialty application standards while minimizing rework and supporting reliable production schedules.
Can you handle marine-grade powder coating applications?
Yes, we provide marine-grade powder coating designed to withstand harsh saltwater environments, UV exposure, and corrosion challenges common in coastal Florida. Our marine applications use specialized coating formulations, rigorous surface preparation protocols, and verified curing processes to ensure long-term durability. With Tampa Bay's demanding marine conditions, we understand the importance of proper preparation and coating selection. We work closely with boat builders, marine fabricators, and coastal contractors to deliver finishes that perform in saltwater environments.
Do you offer pick-up and delivery services?
Yes, we provide convenient pick-up and delivery services throughout the Tampa Bay area, including Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, and New Port Richey. This logistics support helps manufacturers and fabricators maintain production flow without dedicating internal resources to transportation. We coordinate scheduling to align with your project timelines and handle parts with care during transit. Our complete service approach—from pick-up through surface prep, coating, quality inspection, and delivery—keeps your operations running smoothly.
What is your production capacity for large-volume orders?
Our 10' × 10' × 30' production oven provides significant capacity for large components and high-volume production runs. We've completed over 20,000 projects since 2017, supporting manufacturers with recurring batch work, OEM production schedules, and large-scale fabrication finishing. Our controlled processes, experienced team, and investment in quality equipment allow us to handle volume work while maintaining consistent quality standards. We partner with businesses requiring predictable turnaround times and repeatable results across production batches.
