THE BIG QUESTION
Industrial Powder Coating vs Liquid Painting
If there is one coating that is suitable for almost everything, it is powder coating. Liquid paint can be running, sagging and uneven; but powder coatings are applicable as dry, free flowing powder which cures to a smooth and texture free protective (and decorative) layer.

Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry has a long and proud history in the UK, and powder coating has played the part of ensuring an extra level of durability and resistance in extreme weather conditions.
Construction and Telecommunications
This is one of the most popular industries for the application of powder coating. Due to the nature of the job, it does well to have your tools powder coated with a tough monolithic armour. Powder coated items are extremely resistant to abrasion, heat, liquid penetration, corrosion, UV rays and even tough chemicals.
Chemical Industry
Clients in the chemical industry come to us to work on various projects. One of them is for chemical storage systems. Powder coating is able to create a kind of ‘skin’ over objects and create a stable barrier between many chemicals and the storage system containing it.
Domestic
The flawless finish and famed durability mean that powder coating is a stable option used by the domestic appliance industry. With powder coating we can produce the results that wet paint simply cannot achieve.

Our 6-Step Powder Coating Process Explained
As part of our commitment to providing outstanding service, here at Finishing First UK Ltd, we pay attention to even the smallest of details. Evident through our high-quality products and Quality Assurance, our experts ensure that each step in our powder coating journey is thoroughly quality checked and controlled. Since the initial development of powder coating in the 1950s, the method has developed a great deal, to the high-tech production line seen in our workshop today. Here, we’ve summarised each of the 6 steps in our powder coating process, explaining how the detailed process works:
We first have a phone call discussion or a meeting face to face to plan your specific project needs, and then we provide you with your quotation to move forward.
Before our application process begins, the powdered coating itself must first be created. Comprised of polymer resin systems, this is carefully combined with a number of curatives, pigments, and levelling agents. After these components have been mixed, they are cooled before being ground into the flour-like powder used in application.
Our professionals will always discuss your exact requirements prior to commencing your project, including your desired finish and colour. This will help to determine the type of surface cleansing required to remove any grit, rust or debris, which we carry out using our neutralising phosphate wash. After cleaning, the items are then pre-treated, creating an adhesive surface for a perfect coating.
The next step is the actual powder coating, as per your technical specifications. Areas that require protection are taken care of, with either specialised plugs or high temperature masking. A specialist electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) gun is used to adhere the powder to the metal, with our technicians on hand to ensure the coating is flawless.
Finally, the item is sent to undergo the curing process. This is where applied heat causes the powder coating to ‘melt’ in our temperature-controlled oven, for a specified duration. Once the item has completed this process, it is cooled down. Final quality control checks are then completed by our diligent team, to make sure that every item that comes off our production line meets our high standards.
We will arrange a time for collection or delivery as per your requirements, send you photos of the finished project if required, and send out invoices as per our project agreements.
