What we do
Finishing Services for Production Work
Powder coating is our core. Around it we handle the prep, masking, liquid paint systems and screen printing a part needs, so you send one PO and get finished parts back.
Production Powder Coating
Batch and OEM runs with Cardinal powders in a wide range of colors, gloss levels and textures.

A Powder Coating Shop Set Up for Volume
Our line is a batch operation: rolling racks, multiple powder booths and a large cure oven. That setup lets us move a high count of small parts through in a day, and still take the long frames, cabinets and weldments that do not fit on a conveyor.
Throughput depends on the part. Small brackets that need no masking can run at 2,000 or more a day. A large cabinet, or a part with an hour of masking on it, runs far fewer. Send the drawing and the quantity, and we will tell you honestly what a run takes.

Quick answers
Production Powder Coating Questions
Do you take small jobs or only production runs?
We are set up for production work, from dozens to thousands of parts per order, and that is where we are most competitive. We still take smaller jobs; a small minimum charge applies.
What is your lead time?
About one week for standard jobs. Large runs, custom colors, heavy masking and multi-coat specs can take longer, and every quote states the lead time for that job.
Can you paint to a military specification?
Yes. We do mil-spec painting to the specification on your drawing or PO, including CARC topcoats, aerospace epoxy primer and polyurethane topcoat systems, and AMS-STD-595 color matches. Each job is quoted to its spec, so a demanding spec costs more than a simple one.
Do you serve Denver and Pueblo?
Yes. We arrange pickup and delivery per job for customers in the Denver metro and Pueblo and southern Colorado, especially for larger runs, and we can work with freight for customers farther away.
How is pricing determined?
Mainly by part size and how many fit on a rack, masking labor, prep condition, the coating spec and number of coats, color changes and quantity. Repeat part numbers and larger runs bring the per-part price down. Our guide to powder coating cost factors walks through each one.

Powder Coating Answers for Buyers and Engineers
What Is Powder Coating? How the Process Works, Step by Step
Powder coating is a dry, solvent-free finish that is sprayed electrostatically onto a grounded metal part and then baked into a hard, cross-linked film. Here is what happens at each step, and what it means for your drawing.
CARC Paint Explained: The Full Chemical Agent Resistant Coating System
CARC is not a color or a single can of paint. It is a qualified system of pretreatment, epoxy primer and polyurethane topcoat, applied and inspected to MIL-DTL-53072. Here is how the pieces fit and what to put on the drawing.
What Drives Powder Coating Cost on a Production Job
Powder coating price is mostly a question of how many good parts move through the line per hour. Here is what moves that number, and what you can put on an RFQ to get a firm piece price quickly.
