Advantages of Powder Coating and how it works

Looks like Paint, Acts like Armor! States the Powder Coating Institute., High and Low Temperatures

Powder Coating is a new revolution to color coating that is a technically advanced way to apply an extreme protective finish to any metal. This process will show outstanding results every time, saving your product, your money and the test

of time. The powder process begins by first cleaning the part by either washing, sandblasting or beadblasting the item to a dry, bare surface. At GALAXIE we provide the sandblasting and beadblasting services. Then, a special electrostatic spray gun is used to apply a layer of powder to the positively grounded item. Once coated, the metal item is then baked in Galaxie's 25 foot oven. The heat melts the dry powder to a Gel State. The process that binds the powder to the metal is also known as the Curing Stage. Further curing of the gel will harden into an extremely tough and durable finish, which is VERY hard and has NO POROSITY... Thus making it a perfect coat! (Unlike wet paint). A Primer is also available - We use Zinc-Rich Epoxy... An anti-rust agent! Powder Coating has been around for many years and in the last 5 years, some great improvements have been made both in durability and in finishes. Features and advantages of Powder Coating:

• Powder coating can produce a much thicker coating than conventional paint without running or sagging.
• Powder Coatings produce less harmful waste than conventional paint or liquid coatings.
• Powder Coatings emit zero or a near zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making the process environmentally friendly
• There are no toxic or harmful chemicals released into the air.
• Powder Coatings produce an exceptionally high quality finish to those of liquid or wet paint, because it is applied ELECTROSTATICALLY.
• UV resistant
• Flexible
• Fade and crack resistant
• Chip and rust resistant compared to that of a wet paint.
• Can be applied to all metals. A wide range of specialty effects can easily be acquired - Textures, Antiquing, etc., for the look that you want. From a Clear Coat to Candy to a full palette of colors to choose from (Over 10,000). You can have the custom look you desire, bring in your paint chip, and we can match it! Ceramic Coating
Advantages of Ceramic Coating


Custom Bead Blasting, Sand Blasting in a 10 x 10 x 25' Oven
Ceramic Coating provides a Thermal Barrier to objects that are prone to high temperatures such as; Headers, Exhaust Manifolds, Oil Pans, Y-Pipes just to name a few

Ceramic coatings provide thermal stability along with flexibility, excellent adhesion, and superior resistance to corrosion up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. For Example:
• Engine Components
• Corrosive or Solvent Environments
• Exhaust Systems
• Sports, Marine, and RV Equipment
• Catalytic Converters

Proven Performance:
• Increase horsepower and efficiency
• Lower operating temperatures
• Increase part life by reducing friction and heat
• Save money on reduced maintenance and fuel costs
