What Clients Are Saying
Surface Preparation You Can Trust
Proper surface prep plays a major role in finish performance. Our media blasting process removes rust, mill scale, and failed coatings, creating a clean surface that promotes strong powder adhesion. Freeport customers often seek out this step to extend the life of their metal parts.
Common items prepared with media blasting include:
Tractor hitches and cultivator frames
Aluminum rims and motorcycle swingarms
Ornamental benches and patio sets
Structural railings and stair treads
How the Powder Coating Process Works
Powder coating creates a thicker and more even film than traditional paint and can last up to twenty years when applied correctly.
ground and mark
Parts are grounded and protected in sensitive areas.
electrostatic spray
Charged powder is applied evenly for full surface coverage.
cure cycle
Parts bake at approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit to form a durable coating.
cool and inspect
Each item is inspected for adhesion, gloss, and film thickness before release. Customers from Freeport value this final check for consistent quality.

Every customer receives the same level of preparation and finish quality, regardless of location or order size.
Parts are documented upon arrival, with photos and job details recorded. During blasting and coating, key variables such as media type, air pressure, and film build are monitored. Before curing, ground continuity and application targets are verified.
After curing, sample panels are tested for adhesion, hardness, and gloss. These records allow repeat projects, including those from Freeport, to be matched to previous specifications.
