Services
Powder Coating
Our powder coating service provides durable, high-quality finishes for metal components using electrostatic application and thermal curing. This process creates tough, uniform coatings resistant to chipping, scratching, and UV degradation. Ideal for industrial equipment, automotive parts, and architectural elements, our powder coating meets Australian Standards while offering extensive colour and texture options.
Spray Painting
Specialist spray painting services for metal, wood, plastic, and glass surfaces using industrial, automotive, and protective coatings. Our NACE-certified team applies finishes to precision specifications, including military-grade requirements. We handle complex projects requiring exact colour matching, protective clear coats, and on-site applications for large installations.
On-Site Coating
Professional on-site spray painting and powder coating solutions for immovable structures and large installations. Our mobile team uses encapsulation systems and safety-compliant equipment to deliver factory-quality finishes at client locations. Services include window respraying, equipment refurbishment, and industrial plant coatings across Melbourne.
Sand Blasting
Abrasive blasting services prepare surfaces for optimal coating adhesion using environmentally friendly media. Our facilities handle both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, achieving surface profiles that meet Australian Standards. Post-blasting, components move directly to our coating bays to maintain surface integrity.
Metal Coating
Comprehensive coating solutions for steel, aluminium, and galvanised surfaces including corrosion protection systems. We apply protective and decorative finishes to structural steelwork, machinery, and fabricated components using both powder and liquid coating technologies. Our team handles specialist applications like acid-catalysed acrylics and two-pack epoxy systems.
