Sheet finishes.
Finishing for sheet metal parts. Powder coat industrial standard. Anodize for aluminum. Plating for steel corrosion.
Key principles.
Industry standard
Most common sheet metal finish. Tough, durable, color-flexible.
Type II/III
Aluminum sheet metal anodized. Decorative or hardcoat.
Steel sheet
Zinc plating for steel sheet corrosion resistance.
Hot-dip
Hot-dip galvanizing for outdoor structural sheet.
Custom colors
Wet painting for custom colors and specialty effects.
Aluminum, stainless
Mechanical brushing for aesthetic.
Matte
Bead blasting before anodize/paint for uniform texture.
Engraved or printed
Logo engraving or screen printing.
Restore corrosion
Citric acid passivation for stainless after fabrication.
FAQ
Powder coat advantages?
Tough, durable, color-flexible, no VOC, repeatable, recyclable overspray. Industry standard for sheet metal.
Powder coat thickness?
50-150 µm typical. Thicker for severe environments. Affect mating tolerances — account in design.
Color matching for sheet?
Pantone matching available. Sample approval before production lot.
Stainless brushed grain direction?
Specify grain direction (parallel to long edge typical). Continuous grain across welded assemblies impossible — match where visible.
Outdoor durability?
Powder coat 20+ year warranty. Galvanized coating for severe outdoor.
Multi-step finishing?
Pretreatment + coating typical. Phosphate or chromate before powder coat for adhesion.
