Tough, even color finishes baked onto your parts, frames and fixtures, right here in the same shop that makes them.

Powder coating is a dry finishing process. A fine powder is sprayed onto clean metal with an electrostatic charge so it wraps evenly around every edge, then the part is baked in an oven where the powder melts and flows into a hard, smooth coat.

The result is tougher than ordinary paint: it resists chips, scratches, rust and shop chemicals. Because ABS also machines and fabricates, a part can be made, finished and coated without sending it to another shop.

Powder coating works on metal that can take the oven's heat. Ask about colors and finishes for your parts.

Will coating affect my tolerances?

Coating adds a thin layer, so threads, bores and fits are masked to keep them to size.

Can you coat parts you didn't make?

Yes. Bring them in clean or as they are, and we'll talk through prep.

How durable is powder coat?

Much tougher than paint. It resists chipping, scratching, rust and most shop chemicals.
