What Is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is an advanced finishing process used in metal fabrication where paint is applied in powdered form on the surface of the metal. The metal powder coating process begins with charging the powder particles with an electrostatic gun. Next, the charge powder is applied to the workpiece for proper adherence. To ensure strong adherence, the layer of powder applied on the surface is then cured with heat to create a uniform, strong and aesthetic layer of paint.
Powder coating services enhance the metal’s durability and offer protection from wear and other environmental factors. This is why industrial powder coating services are preferred over conventional liquid painting, as the latter is less durable and requires multiple layers for an even, aesthetic finish.

Whether you are looking for sheet metal painting or other types of metal painting services, our experts will execute your vision.
Materials We Paint & Coat
The most common materials we work on include:
Steel: Painting steel is vital as it can face corrosion if left exposed. Painting also offers protection from small damage.
Aluminum: Apart from corrosion resistance, painting aluminum sheet metal offers protection from UV rays, which can cause chalking or dulling on the metal’s surface.
Fabricated Assemblies: Metal powder coating is applied to fabricated assemblies to ensure durability, flexibility, and a desired surface finish.
Industries We Serve
Solera offers industrial powder coating services for the following industries:
Automotive Sector: Parts of the chassis, decorative trim, frames and more require industrial powder coating for corrosion resistance and durability.
Construction: Aluminum doors and window frames, light poles, fencing, and guardrails all require powder coating services.
Appliances: Many appliance enclosures, such as panels, frames and racks, benefit from powder coating.
General Manufacturing: Fabricated components for specialized equipment see improvement in endurance and durability with a finish of industrial powder coating.
Our Powder Coating Process
All our custom powder coating projects follow a standardized three-step process:
Surface Preparation
Preparing the surface is the first step of our powder coating service. The surface on which the coating is to be applied has to be free of contaminants such as oil, dirt and grease, as these can compromise paint adherence.
Powder Application
After the surface has been thoroughly cleaned, the powder is applied to the desired surface by means of an electrostatic spray gun. The gun charges the powder particles, helping them to properly stick to the metal’s surface.
Controlled Curing
To ensure a strong bond between the powder and the metal surface, the newly painted part is cured in a temperature-controlled oven. This melts the powder such that it evenly coats the entire surface. Once the cured part is cooled, the powder coating process is finished.
Quality Control & Finish Standards
What sets professional powder coating apart from other services is an emphasis on quality control. Solera Metal Fabrication ensures this in our industrial powder coating services by focusing on:
Durability: Our experts are focused on using materials and processes that maximize the durability of the metal part.
Adhesion: The surface is checked thoroughly to see if the powder adheres to the metal surface.
Uniform Thickness: For best results, the coating must be applied with a uniform thickness, another parameter examined during our quality control process.
