Powder Coating Services in Central Texas & Arkansas: How We Make Metal Look Good
At JAMM Fabrication, we’re not just in the business of building strong, durable metal projects - we’re in the business of making them look just as good as they perform. And when it comes to giving metal that flawless, long-lasting finish? That’s where powder coating steps in.
Whether it’s for a railing, a custom sign, trailer parts, or architectural metalwork, powder coating is the finishing touch that takes your project from functional to flawless. So let’s break it down - what is powder coating, why does it matter, and how do we do it here at JAMM?
So, What Is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that uses finely ground particles of pigment and resin. These particles are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a metal surface, then they’re baked in an oven until they melt and fuse into a solid, smooth, ultra-durable coating.
Translation? It’s not paint. It’s tougher, more uniform, more eco-friendly, and way better at standing up to weather, wear, and time.
Why Choose Powder Coating?
For our customers in Central Texas and Arkansas, powder coating offers numerous advantages:
Enhanced Durability: Resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
Eco-Friendly: Contains no solvents and releases negligible volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere.
Cost-Effective: Reduces waste and rework, leading to lower overall finishing costs.
Aesthetic Versatility: Available in a wide range of colors and textures to match any design requirement.
Our Powder Coating Process
At JAMM Fabrication, we follow a meticulous process to ensure the highest quality powder-coated finishes. So how does it all go down? Let’s walk you through the behind-the-scenes steps we take to make sure your metal comes out smooth, sharp, and sealed tight.
Surface Prep: First things first: if the surface isn’t clean, the powder won’t stick. Period. We sandblast every part to remove rust, mill scale, grease, or old coatings. This gives the metal a clean slate - and a slightly roughened surface that helps the powder grip and hold on tight
Clean and Dry: After blasting, we thoroughly clean and dry the metal to ensure there’s zero moisture or contaminants. Think of it like prepping a canvas before painting - it’s what separates pro work from “hope it sticks.”
Powder Application: Next up, we move into the spray booth. Using a powder coating gun, we electrostatically charge the powder particles, which causes them to cling to the grounded metal like a magnet. It’s kind of like magic, but better - because it actually works. We make sure every surface, edge, and angle gets even coverage. No clumps, no gaps, no streaks. Just smooth, even color across the board.
The Cure: Once coated, the part heads to the oven. We bake it at around 375 to 400°F, which causes the powder to melt, flow, and cure into a continuous, hard shell. It’s like metal armor - just more stylish.
Cool Down & Quality Check: After curing, we let everything cool down and then inspect it top to bottom. No shortcuts here - we’re looking for flawless adhesion, consistent coverage, and clean lines. Only when it passes our standards does it leave the shop.
