Powder coating is the process of applying a fine powder material to a metal substrate. The powder is given an electrostatic charge to adhere and is then baked on. It's a durable protective and decorative coating available in many colors and finishes.

Advantages

Disadvantages

• Special Equipment Required
• Surface Must Be Conductive
• Must Bake To Cure
• Thin Layers Hard To Achieve
• Changing Colors Is Harder
