Rutherfordton Powder Coating and Painting | Industrial Metal Finishing
Rutherfordton operations move material fast and expect repeatable finishes that stand up to handling, weather, and washdowns. We deliver industrial painting and powder coating in Rutherfordton, NC for steel, stainless, and aluminum parts ranging from small brackets to large welded frames.
Our finishing cells operate inside ISO 9001:2015 certification and each order travels with documented pretreatment checks, gauge calibrations, and inspection results.
From Pretreat to Pass-Off: The Production Run
Clean and convert: Parts move through alkaline cleaning and staged rinses followed by iron phosphate for steel. Where programs target elevated corrosion performance with modern lean chemistries, we specify zirconium conversion coatings. Weld discoloration and scale are addressed with media blasting to set a consistent anchor profile. Masking plans use silicone caps, high-temperature tapes, and custom plugs to protect threads, sealing faces, and ground points.
Apply with control: Powder is applied using electrostatic equipment tuned for kV and flow. Gun distance, angle, and wrap are managed to reduce Faraday shadowing. Typical exterior DFT targets for polyester TGIC are 2.0–4.0 mils. Super-durable polyester supports higher UV exposure. If the print calls for a liquid system, we apply epoxy primers and 2K urethane topcoats for chemical resistance and color retention.
Verify and protect: Cure is confirmed using metal temperature probes and logged time-at-temperature. Post-cure checks can include crosshatch adhesion, impact resistance, gloss, and color against approval panels. After inspection, parts cool on soft racks and are packed with interleaves, edge guards, and kitted labels that match the assembly plan.
