At Accurate Metal Stamping (AMS), our powder coating services are engineered for industries that demand a durable finish, precision, and long-term performance. Whether you’re working with galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, or custom sheet metal parts, AMS delivers high-quality finishes that meet strict industry standards—without compromising efficiency or cost.

In this behind-the-scenes look, Josh Romberg, Sales Manager at AMS, guides us through the powder coating process that transforms raw metal parts into finished products ready for final assembly or field use.

What Is Powder Coating?

Let’s start with the basics: what is powder coating?

Powder coating is a dry finishing technique used to apply a protective and decorative coating to a metal surface. Unlike traditional liquid paint, it uses electrostatically charged powder that bonds to the surface during a powder coating application, then cures in an oven to create a quality powder-coated layer.

The benefit of powder coating lies in its unmatched durability, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. It creates a smooth, chip-resistant surface that protects against corrosion, wear, and UV exposure—making it ideal for OEMs across automotive, aerospace, industrial, and infrastructure sectors.

The Powder Coating Process at AMS

1. Loading and Surface Preparation

AMS begins by loading your parts onto the conveyor line. Our powder coating work starts with a phosphate wash powder coating system that includes:

• Stage 1: Degreasing the surface
• Stage 2: Rinsing to remove residue
• Stage 3: Final rinse to ensure a clean bond

This three-stage system is crucial for creating a properly prepared metal surface that can withstand real-world use. Surface preparation is one of the most important steps in achieving a high-quality finish.

2. Dry-Off Oven

Before applying powder, we move the metal parts through a dry-off oven to eliminate moisture. This helps prevent defects and ensures the powder adheres evenly.

3. Powder Coating Application

Next, parts enter the powder coating booth, where we apply an electrostatic charge to the powder. The powder is sprayed evenly over the component, clinging to the surface with precision and consistency. This is where the transformation really begins.

We utilize this process to provide a range of powder coating finishes, from textured and matte to glossy and smooth, all tailored to your functional and aesthetic requirements.

4. Cure Oven

After coating, the parts are cured in a high-temperature oven. This solidifies the powder into a hard, uniform layer that resists wear and exposure—exactly what OEMs demand in industrial powder coating.

 

Batch Oven Powder Coating for Large Parts

AMS also offers batch oven powder coating for large part powder coating jobs, handling components up to 20 feet in length. Whether you need oversized frames, enclosures, or complex custom powder coating jobs, our in-house powder coating team has you covered.
