After a surface has been prepared, we apply primer and paint using our state-of-the-art controlled paint booth. We put the large metal products we fabricate — such as carbon steel tanks and heavy ductwork — onto custom roller carts and wheel them into the 1,600-square-foot booth. Once the wide doors are closed, they are hit by manually-operated sprayers and then heated to expedite dry times (if required) and ensure proper hardening.
With each layer of paint or primer, we can gauge the thickness of the coat and document it if a job requires especially strict tolerances. In those cases, we have our certified in-house staff do all work-in-progress inspections and then invite a third-party inspector (if required) for final inspection before shipment.
We also apply direct to metal (DTM) paint. Essentially a combination of primer with finish paint, it seals metal from the elements all in one coat.
