Quality Powder Coating Services in Metro Denver, CO

Taking Powder Coating Finish Quality To The Next Level

Mile High Powder Coating has been providing quality finishing services to customers in Englewood and Metro Denver, CO since 1999. We are a full service powder coating facility, known for our clean ovens, top quality finish, and Denver’s best powder coat warranty.

Quality is important to us at Mile High Powder Coating. We want our customers to receive the very best corrosion resistance and powder coat durability possible. We have a dedicated Quality Control Manager and your project / product parts will be inspected at multiple points prior to, during, and after the powder coating process.

How We Make a Difference For Our Customers

A Better Than Factory FinishWe have a long standing commitment to educate our customers on the benefits of powder coating and do a professional quality job on their product. The end result is a better-than-factory finish.

Factory finishes for the most part are all about throughput more than perfection … whereas our finishes are all hand applied with more coating thickness than factories apply, and each and every part is inspected to insure total customer satisfaction. No factory can do this.

“It’s all in the prep” is what we preach at Mile High Powder Coating. Just like any other painting job, you need to spend adequate time in making sure the product is white-glove-clean, free of defects, abraded and properly dried prior to even thinking of applying the powder coating. This step is where you win or lose on the final result.

Power coating is really tough and will last for many years as long as it’s applied correctly and that is what we do here at Mile High Powder Coating. We’ve never been into shortcuts because they always come back to haunt you. We monitor every aspect of the application and inspect your items multiple times during the process to make sure the powder coating will be maintenance free and your product / project will look “brand new” for years to come.

 

Powder Coating Applications

What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is high quality finish for metal that is applied as free-flowing, dry powder without the use of solvents. Powder coating is applied with a special spray gun that adds a positive electrostatic charge to the powder particles. This electrostatic charge will cause the particles to adhere to the grounded metal object. Once the metal object is fully covered, it is cured in an oven at 400 F or higher, allowing the coating particles to melt and flow into a uniform film on the object. Powder coating does not drip, sag or run.  When the film cools, the result is a very hard coating resistant to breakdown or degradation.

The appearance of a powder coated finish is nearly identical to a 2-coat paint job but it “acts like armor”, protecting your metal parts and surfaces from corrosion, heat, scratches, wear-and-tear, and extreme weather conditions.

Why Choose Powder Coating?

Powder Coated Tough - Stronger. Greener. Better.Three words.  Stronger.  Greener.  Better.   And it’s your best value over the lifetime of your product.

Powder coating is now America’s fastest growing finishing technology. When compared to spray painting, a powder coated finish is tougher, more durable, and longer lasting. It protects the metal and extends the life of your product. It will also last for years and will not chip or fade.

Best of all, powder coating is the best value in terms of cost savings over the lifetime of the product. Why spend money on spray painting and retouching year after year when you can powder coat once and enjoy for many years to come?

Mile High Powder Coating is a member of the Powder Coat Institute.
