Finish – Traditional Black:

Traditional black coating provides an attractive and durable corrosion-resistant finish, which can last for 10 - 15 years. There are many general advantages to using the powder coating process over conventional paints. For instance, it contains no solvents so is kinder to the environment, it doesn’t run and it provides a tougher coating. Powder coating is a modern painting process whereby dry powdered paint is sprayed on a bare metal object. As the fine powder leaves the gun it becomes electrostatically charged and sticks to the metal. It is then cured in an oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for around 10 minutes causing the powder to melt and form an even coating. A regular clean and polish and light oiling of any moving parts can easily maintain items finished in traditional black. Any chips or scratches down to bare metal should be repaired with exterior paint to provide water resistance.
