Sheet Metal Powder Coating
Sheet Metal Powder Coating in Houston, Texas
Sheet metal powder coating is a critical finishing process for manufacturers and OEMs who require consistent appearance, corrosion protection, and long-term durability across fabricated metal components. From electrical enclosures and panels to housings, brackets, and formed assemblies, powder coating protects sheet metal while delivering a clean, professional finish.
At H-Town Coaters, sheet metal powder coating is treated as a precision-controlled process, not a cosmetic step. Every job is evaluated for material type, thickness, geometry, edge coverage, and end-use environment—ensuring dependable results for production schedules and procurement requirements.
What Is Sheet Metal Powder Coating?
Sheet metal powder coating is a dry-finishing process where electrostatically charged powder is applied to formed or fabricated sheet metal parts and cured under heat. The result is a uniform, durable coating that resists corrosion, chipping, and wear.
Powder coating is especially effective for sheet metal because it supports repeatability across production runs and delivers consistent film thickness on components that need a clean, reliable finish.
