Powder Coating
Give fabricated metal the color, texture, and protection the product needs. K-Display powder coats in-house, connecting the finish to fabrication, installed hardware, graphics, and final assembly.
A finish chosen for how the product is used
Powder coating applies a dry powder to metal, then uses heat to form a continuous film. It gives parts their finished appearance and surface protection. The coating system needs to suit the job: a visible indoor cover, a frequently handled component, and an outdoor panel can have different requirements even when they share a color.
Surface preparation and cure are part of the coating specification. Include service exposure and appearance requirements so the finish is selected for more than its color.
Finish what people see, touch, and assemble
Color and texture are part of the specification. So are the mounting holes, threads, and contact areas that need to work after the coating is applied.
- Enclosure panels and access covers with specified cosmetic faces
- Mounting brackets with holes and mating areas kept clear
- Welded frames finished before components are assembled
- Shelving and display components with coordinated color and texture
The finish starts before the coating line
Welds, edges, and hardware affect the final surface. Keeping powder coating with our fabrication work lets us address those details before they reach finishing, then carry the coated parts into marking and assembly.
Establish the coating and appearance
We work from your coating specification, color, texture, gloss, and service conditions, with visible faces clearly identified.
Prepare and mask
Surface preparation and defined masking protect the areas that must stay bare, including specified threads, holes, and mating surfaces.
Coat and complete
The powder-coated part can continue into graphics, hardware installation, assembly, and packaging within the same build.
Coating, coverage, and clearances
In electrostatic application, charged powder is attracted to a grounded part, then melted and cured with heat. Cleaning and suitable surface preparation are essential to adhesion. Coating performance depends on the system, preparation, cure, and service environment—not color alone.
Include overall size, material, and the coating specification. Define cosmetic faces and masking boundaries, and state whether critical dimensions apply before or after finishing.
Protect the fit as well as the surface
Identify threads, close-fitting holes, and contact surfaces that must remain uncoated. Powder adds film thickness, so specify whether critical dimensions apply before or after finishing. Mark masking boundaries on the drawing rather than relying on a note to keep all important areas clear.
Call out visible faces and acceptable hanging-contact locations. Deep recesses and inside corners can make powder coverage harder to achieve; include these features in the finish review. Surface defects may remain visible through the coating, making weld and edge expectations useful before fabrication.
Define exposure to sunlight, moisture, chemicals, or handling when selecting the finish. A color reference alone does not define coating performance. Include a physical finish sample or coating product reference when appearance matching matters, and identify any marking, assembly, or packaging requirements.
Define each masking boundary and whether critical dimensions apply before or after coating. This keeps surface protection from interfering with threads, close fits, or required bare-metal contact.
