Our Finishing Technique at Retro Office, Inc. Before a piece is ready to be Electrostatically Coated (= To Powder Coating), we conduct extensive restorative body work to ensure the piece looks and operates like it did brand new 40 years ago. Each piece is then tool sanded to ensure a smooth surface and primed. (Some small imperfections may still be visible) After priming, each piece is Electrostatically Coated (= To Powder Coating) to your specifications with automotive paint. If you want your piece to be Pink with Purple pokedots, your wish is our command. Below you will see some restored examples of our Electrostatically Coated (= To Powder Coating) finishes. At Retro Office, Inc. we use a two part epoxy enamel identical in look, feel, and durability as a powder-coated finish and is primarily automotive paint that can be used indoor / outdoor.
Painting Vs. Powder-Coating Powder coating is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as "whiteware", aluminium extrusions, and automobile and motorcycle parts. Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods. Question: Is Poweder-Coating Better Than Electrostatic Painting Answer: They Are Identically The Same Thing! Don't Be Fooled!
