Our tale of the proper way to powder coat! Our customers deliver their products to our shop and we start by making a work order to ensure we keep all of the orders correct. We feel that one of the most important things about powder coating is the preparation of the iron, and we take the time to prep the material the right way. We start by cleaning off all of the dirt, paint, and oils that have accumulated on the iron. We then ground the product, and then apply the powder coat. We take great pride in how we apply the powder coat; the powder coat has to be laid on the product in an even and smooth manner even in the small nooks and crannies. Then we put the powder-coated job into the oven to cure. In the end, our customer’s iron products have a coating that will stand the test of time! If you have any questions about powder coating give us a call! (702) 982-1212 or check out our website www.yeswepowdercoat.com
What is powder coat, and how does it work?
Yeswepowdercoat.com has been in the powder coating business for the last 4 years and we have certainly learned a lot. Let me pass on a little of our knowledge to you. Powder coating is the industry's best standard because it is very durable and lasts the test of time. Powder coating is actually a really neat process, let me explain a little more about the process to help you gain a better understanding of how it works! First, we have to clean and prep the material. Once it is clean, we then make sure that everything is grounded. We use a 6-foot grounding rod, one end goes into the ground and then two wires come off of that. One wire connects to the material that we are powder coating and one wire that connects to the Wagner powder coating applicator/gun. Then we load the color of your choosing onto the vibrating plate and insert the feeder rod into the powder coat. After the material is properly prepped, hung, and grounded we are then ready to start applying the powder coat. To properly apply the powder coat you need to keep the tip of the gun about 6 to 12 inches away from the material and the powder should lay down smooth. The most common area that people struggle to get to is the corners because they are tight, and it can be difficult to get the powder into those spots. But that is normal, just be patient and try to use a different angle or if you are still struggling at that point you might need to adjust your KV’s. Once you have the power in all of the nooks and crannies whatever you do, do not touch your material! If you do accidentally touch your material don’t worry you will just need to lightly apply a little more powder to the spot nothing more. Then carefully move the material into the oven at 400 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes so the powder coat is completely cured. Next, remove the material from the oven. Remember do not touch the material or it will burn you, and you can potentially damage all the work you just did. Now let it rest until the temperature comes down and now your material is ready to go. If you have any questions, you can contact me at Yeswepowdercoat.com or our email is yeswepowdercoat@gmail.com
What are the types of powder coat finishes and what is the selection of colors that are available for you to choose from?
The finishes available in powder coating appear like typical paint, yet often provide a more unique
appearance for your project. These finishes are high gloss, semi-gloss, flat/matte, clear, metallic,
wrinkle, hammered/vein texture, and glimmer.
High gloss finishes are wet looking, have a smooth, shiny surface, bringing to mind what wet paint
looks like.
Semi-gloss finishes are similar to a high gloss, however, provide a minimal shine in comparison.
Flat/matte finishes are great for hiding imperfections in the surface of the metal and contain almost no
shine.
Clear coats lack the pigment of any color, bringing out the natural beauty of the metal itself, and can be
gloss or matte.
Metallic finishes are a solid tone with small metal flakes added to the pigment for a sparkly or soft
luster appearance.
Wrinkly powder coat finishes providing a rough texture to the touch, feeling somewhat like a fine
sandpaper.
Hammered/Vein texture could be compared to the surface of a golf ball, with slight dimples in its
appearance and is also a great way to hide surface imperfections.
Glimmer finishes give the impression of a metallic look without a significant amount of metallic
pigment additive.
What about color choices?
Color options for powder coating are nearly endless. There are thousands of colors available and a
sample of just a few options could be viewed at the following link, www.ralcolor.com. RAL colors are
standards for the industry and custom colors are easily created through one of our manufacturers if
there is something more specific that you are looking to match.
Powder coating is truly the most refined and aesthetically pleasing means by which to cover your
masterfully created ironwork. Its ability to endure the outdoors is uncanny and is attributed to the
process in which the finished product is created. Our curing process for powder coating is called
“thermoset”. Once the powder coat is baked onto the iron in our 400-degree oven and cooled, it is
temperature stable and will not re-liquefy, making it a great coating for durability for years, even in
extremely high temperatures.
With so many options available for finishes to suit your individual taste, color availability, and the pride
we provide in our workmanship, you will most certainly find a look that you will love and enjoy for years
to come.

What types of metal can be powder coated?
What types of metal can be powder coated?
To put it most simply, any metal that can hold an electrical charge and tolerate high temperatures for curing can be powder coated. The most common of these are aluminum, steel, titanium, bronze, and brass. Each of these metals has limitations or qualities that require different approaches to powder coat them appropriately.
Steel is produced in a couple of different ways, either hot-rolled or cold-rolled. Producing steel via the hot rolled method involves creating sheets of metal through a procedure of rolling the material at extremely high temperatures. This process produces an oxide surface coat on the metal that must be removed before powder coating. Examples of steel that are produced in this fashion are truck frames, pipes and tubes, automotive wheels and rims, doors, and shelving to name a few. Steel produced through the cold rolled method is normally performed at or about room temperature. Typically, strips, bars, rods, and sheets are cold rolled. Cold rolling increases the strength of the material and does not cause a surface scale to be present. It is more expensive than its hot-rolled counterpart. Common uses for cold rolled steel are home appliances, desks and furniture, shelving, light fixtures, water heaters, and frying pans.
Stainless steel contains a compound called Chromium, among several other elements. The chromium content in stainless steel is what provides this metal with its protective qualities from rusting. A chemical reaction inherent in the material occurs that provides a coating that protects it from corrosion, making it ideal for situations where moisture exposure is imminent. It also gives the material the capability to “heal” itself when oxygen is present.
Brass and copper can also be powder coated yet require thorough cleaning before the process as well.
Why is prepping the material so important?
What happens if the metal is not prepped properly?
If the coating on the material is defective or there is a contaminant present and the metal has not been properly prepared before powder coating, there are several defects that can occur in the finished powder coat’s appearance as well as its ability to allow the powder to attract to the metal during the spraying process. If dirt is present, either within the powder coating mechanical system or even in the air within the spraying booth, the finished product can have evenly distributed or random patches of “lumpiness” in its appearance. Extreme care must be taken to ensure a clean booth and operating system in addition to meticulously cleaning the material of any grease, dirt, or residue before coating the metal. We clean all our iron initially with acetone. It is a slightly acidic, organic solvent that most people associate with paint thinner or nail polish remover. It is also a substance that is produced in and removed from our own bodies in metabolism. Once the metal is thoroughly cleaned of all contaminants, it is hung on large racks and placed into the booth, ready for the powder coating process.

What exactly is powder coating?
What exactly is powder coating?
Invented and patented in 1945, powder coating is a process which puts a hardened coating on metal through electrostatic energy and is then cured by heat. Powder coating does not have a liquid carrier like standard paint and can produce a thicker coating without the usual issues painting can produce, such as running.
Powder coating applies easily, and the coating is thick and cures to a smooth texture-free surface. There are also powders that are intended to create a texture or “orange peel” appearance which is perfect for hiding defects in the metal or to keep from showing smudges or fingerprints. In addition, and conversely with standard painting, powder coating contains no solvents and releases little to no amounts of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the atmosphere.
How is powder coating produced?
The production of powder coating begins when polyester granules are mixed with a hardener, pigments and other powder ingredients in an industrial mixer and then heated in an extruder. The mixtures is then flattened and once cool, broken up into small pieces. The pieces are ground into particles and strained through a sieve to make a fine powder.
Powder coating our iron begins with cleaning and prepping the metal and is essential to the success of the finished product. All oils, fingerprints, grease, or any other debris must be removed prior to the application process of the powder to ensure a flawless finish. The powder is sprayed onto the metal using an electrostatic gun. The powder is able to “stick” to the metal electrostatic ally because the gun transfers a negative charge to the powder and the metal has been grounded. Once the metal is sufficiently covered, the powder is cured in a large, 400-degree oven for 20 minutes, producing the finished, beautifully covered product.
Why do you need to bake it?
When powder coating is exposed to elevated temperatures, it melts and chemically reacts into a structure of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines, called cross-linking. As it cools, it hardens into the smooth or textured finish you have selected for your iron.
Powder coating is truly the best option for covering your iron as it has immense corrosion protection capabilities, durability for the outdoors and high temperature endurance (like the Las Vegas summers)! Moreover, it’s resistance to wear and tear far surpasses it’s paint counterpart and will most assuredly outlast it as well.

Why use powder coat?
Why use powder coat?
We use powder coating on all the iron brought to our shop. What does the finish look like? What is the longevity of powder coat? How do you apply it? Let me answer these questions for you….
I am a professional iron worker, active in this field for over 10 years. Powder coat has become the industry standard due to the longevity of the finish. Powder coat will last 2 to 3 times longer than paint. The finish will keep its shine and look new for up to 15 or 20 years. Powder coat can handle more wear and tear because of the special blend of Polyester and Dicyandiamide it contains. Powder Coat can hold up against the weather due to these special blended chemicals and continue looking new year after year.
What do the colors and finishes of powder coating look like?
You would be surprised with the many finishes you can get with powder coat! You can get nearly all the colors in the rainbow in powder coat, and Yes! you can even get custom colors made that you would like. Powder coat is not the same as paint, you cannot take a little of one color and add it to another color and ruin the powder coat, blended colors in powder coat are completely possible! The finishes you can get in powder coat are almost the same as paint. You can get matte, flat, slimy gloss, and high gloss finishes or a textured /hammered look. The textured/hammered finish is an amazing look and adds a 3D appearance and feel to the color. We can even provide powder coating in candy color finishes. Yes! candy colors!
What is the process for applying powder coat?
First, we take the material we are working with and completely clean it. Cleaning the material is the #1 most important part of the process. We need to make sure the material we are working with is impeccably clean! There cannot be any grease, oil, dirt, rust and/or fingerprints on the metal. The cleaning process can take a long time depending on how much debris is on the material.
Once the material is cleaned, it’s hung on metal racks and placed in the powder spray booth. We hook up a grounding clamp to the metal and make sure it is well grounded. Powder has the consistency of powdered sugar. The powder coat machine creates an electrical field around the spray applicator attracting the powder to the ground. The powder then sticks to the metal. Once the material is completely covered, the grounding clamp is removed and the rack is pushed into our 20 by 8 foot oven and baked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Can you paint over powder coat?
Yes! you can paint over powder coat. The most important thing to a paint job is the prep work done to the material prior to painting it. If you are going to paint over anything, do yourself a huge favor and do not by cheap paint! When you go to apply the paint, use the appropriate applicator to do so.
