How Are Parts Prepped For Powder Coating?
Depending on the condition the part is received, it will first need to be stripped of all coatings down to the bare metal. We will need to degrease the item before running it through our sand blaster. If the part arrives already powder coated, we will need to chemically strip the coating before it can be sandblasted. The reason for this is because powder coat is so tough that sandblasting will not remove it. We will then pre-bake the part to release any gas pockets in the metal. Then the part will be cleaned one last time before being coated.
