Powder Coating
Powder coating, sometimes referred to as "dry paint" is an
environmentally friendly coating material which is "baked" onto
metal. Replacing the "wet painting" of the past, Powder Coating
is often applied to engine blocks, heads, valve covers and frames.
Classic Coatings stocks a wide variety of powders and has access to hundreds
of different colors, gloss levels, formulations and even textures to meet
your most demanding industrial application or restoration needs.
Color Options

Custom Masking Now Offered
Classic Coatings now offers custom lettering/graphics on your parts.
This process involves applying a mask over the base metal and then applying
a color coat. The mask is removed and a clear coat is applied to seal
the part. The finished product can have anything from your race team name
to any graphic image that you want. This is the ultimate
in custom powder coating and will make your project stand out from the
competition. See the sample below. Contact us
today to discuss your custom project.
Temperature Extremes
Most powder coatings will withstand temperatures up to about 500°F.
Some black powders can support temperatures up to 800° F. If
your part will be exposed to temperatures above 800° F, we recommend
Ceramic Coating. With Ceramic Coating, parts
are able to withstand temperatures of up to 2,000°F.
Surface Preparation
You must disassemble all parts and remove all rubber, plastic, glass
and gaskets prior to coating.
Before powder is applied, parts are hung on a continuous conveyor and
washed to remove oils and contaminates. An application of iron phosphate
and a sealer are applied to ensure a bond with the coating and to retard
corrosion.
For parts that need more aggressive cleaning to remove rust, mill scale,
paint or welding slag, Classic Coatings has media blasting cabinets that
clean parts prior to washing.
Capabilities
Classic Coatings has two powder coating lines. Our continuous line can
process medium to large parts that range in size from 1" square to
