Powder coating has traditionally been viewed as a practical solution: protect metal, prevent rust, extend lifecycle. But today, it's so much more.
In modern architecture, powder coating is now a visual strategy—one that enhances form, style, and material contrast. When combined with a finish like Polychrotina™, powder coating becomes a signature design feature that blends function and flair seamlessly.
Polychrotina™ is a proprietary and trademarked powder coat created exclusively by H-Town Coaters. Its defining feature? A color-engineered aged-metal appearance that mimics the organic patina of rusted steel, weathered copper, or oxidized bronze—without the mess, decay, or inconsistency of real rust.
It’s clean, consistent, durable, and absolutely timeless.
