Our Powder Coating or Repainting Services for
Metal Gates
Whether your gates show signs of rust, fading, or general wear, we restore them to like-new condition using proven techniques and premium materials. Our comprehensive approach addresses both aesthetic concerns and structural protection to maximize your gate's lifespan.
Complete Surface Preparation and Cleaning
We begin every powder coating project by thoroughly cleaning your metal gates using industrial-grade pressure washing and degreasing solutions to remove dirt and contaminants. Our team carefully inspects each gate section for rust, corrosion, or damage that could affect the final coating application and durability.
We use specialized wire brushing and sandblasting techniques to create the optimal surface texture that ensures proper coating adhesion and longevity. This meticulous preparation process guarantees that your new coating will bond securely and provide maximum protection against future weathering and corrosion.
Premium Powder Coating Application
We apply high-quality powder coating using electrostatic spray equipment that ensures even coverage across all gate surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas and intricate details. Our powder coating process involves heating the coated gates in a specialized curing oven to create a durable, seamless finish that resists chipping and scratching.
We offer a wide selection of colors and textures to match your property's aesthetic while providing superior protection against UV rays and moisture. The result is a beautiful, long-lasting finish that maintains its appearance and protective qualities for many years with minimal maintenance requirements.
Professional Liquid Paint Systems
When powder coating isn't suitable for your specific gate type or design, we offer professional liquid painting services using premium automotive-grade paints and primers. Our painters apply multiple thin coats using spray equipment and brushes to achieve smooth, consistent coverage that eliminates drips and imperfections.
We use corrosion-resistant primers and topcoats specifically formulated for metal surfaces exposed to outdoor conditions in West Hollywood's climate. Each painted gate receives a final protective clear coat that enhances color depth while providing additional protection against fading and weather damage.
Rust Treatment and Prevention
We identify and treat existing rust spots using specialized rust converters and neutralizers that stop corrosion at the source before applying new coatings. Our rust treatment process includes careful grinding and sanding to remove loose rust while preserving the underlying metal structure and integrity.
We apply high-performance rust-inhibiting primers that create a barrier between the metal surface and moisture that causes future corrosion problems. This comprehensive rust prevention approach ensures that your newly coated gates remain rust-free and maintain their protective coating for maximum longevity.
Commercial and Industrial Gate Coating Solutions
Commercial properties require coating solutions that withstand heavy use while maintaining a professional appearance that reflects positively on your business operations. We understand the unique demands of commercial and industrial environments and provide coating services that meet these specific requirements.
Expedited Commercial Scheduling
We understand that business operations depend on functional gate systems, which is why we offer flexible scheduling options that minimize disruption to your operations. Our commercial coating services can be performed during off-hours, weekends, or planned maintenance windows to avoid interfering with normal business activities.
We coordinate with facility managers and security teams to ensure coating work proceeds smoothly while maintaining necessary access control and safety protocols. This professional approach allows your business to continue operating normally while your gates receive the coating services they need.
High-Traffic Gate Finishing
Commercial gates experience frequent operation and exposure to vehicle exhaust, making them vulnerable to accelerated wear and contamination that affects appearance. We apply industrial-grade coatings specifically designed for high-traffic applications that resist staining, fading, and mechanical damage from daily use.
Our commercial coating systems include multiple protective layers that provide extended durability while maintaining color consistency and professional appearance over time. These specialized finishes reduce maintenance requirements and extend the time between recoating cycles, saving your business money on long-term upkeep.
Our Maintenance and Warranty Protection Programs
We offer comprehensive maintenance programs designed to extend coating life and prevent costly premature replacement or major repair projects.
Annual Inspection and Touch-Up Services
We provide scheduled annual inspections that identify potential coating problems before they become major issues requiring extensive repair work. During these inspections, we check for chips, scratches, rust spots, or other damage that could compromise your gate's protection and appearance.
Emergency Repair and Restoration Services
When unexpected damage occurs to your coated gates, we provide prompt emergency repair services that restore protection and appearance quickly. Our emergency services include temporary protection measures and permanent repairs that match your existing coating perfectly for seamless results.
Coating Upgrade and Enhancement Programs
As coating technology advances, we offer upgrade services that allow you to benefit from improved coating systems without complete gate replacement. These upgrades can include enhanced UV protection, improved color retention, or specialized performance features that weren't available with older coating systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does powder coating last on metal gates compared to traditional paint?
Powder coating typically lasts 15-20 years with proper preparation and application, while traditional paint may require recoating every 5-7 years. The electrostatically applied powder creates a thicker, more durable finish that resists chipping, fading, and weather damage better than liquid paint systems.
Can you powder coat gates that are already installed, or do they need to be removed?
We can powder coat gates in place using portable equipment for minor touch-ups, but complete powder coating requires removal for proper oven curing. Our team carefully removes gates, transports them to our facility for coating, and reinstalls them typically within 3-5 business days.
What colors and finishes are available for powder coating metal gates?
We offer hundreds of standard powder coating colors plus custom color matching services to meet your specific design requirements. Available finishes include smooth, textured, metallic, and specialty options like hammertone or wrinkle finishes that add unique visual appeal.
How do you prevent rust from returning after repainting or powder coating?
We use comprehensive rust treatment, including rust converters, neutralizers, and high-performance primers that create barriers against moisture and oxygen. Our surface preparation removes all existing rust and applies corrosion-inhibiting treatments that prevent new rust formation under the coating.
What's the typical cost difference between powder coating and repainting metal gates?
Powder coating costs 20-30% more initially than repainting but provides significantly longer durability and lower long-term maintenance costs. When you factor in the extended lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements, powder coating typically offers better value over the gate's lifetime.
