If you're getting started with powder coating, this post will take you through the essential masking supplies that we recommend starting off with first.

Masking is crucial in the coating process, especially for complex components like those found in steering and suspension systems. These parts often feature complex geometries, tight tolerances, and critical surfaces that must remain uncoated to ensure optimal performance.

Throughout this post, we will take you through various masking products and designs used to mask shock tubes, steering knuckles, tie-rods, and control arms that are manufactured for today's most famous automotive, heavy machinery, and power sports vehicles!

Powder coaters are accepting flaws they could easily eliminate. We’ve curated a list of common issues that are often overlook and provided simple fixes for each one.

Welcome to the SECOND installment of our new masking experiment series! In this post, we will be taking you through what happens when you remove the tape right after powder gels and compare it to what happens when we remove tape after it cools down after the cure process. 

Due to the fear of silicone volatiles, some facilities will not even remotely consider using the material. In the automotive industry specifically, silicone is sometimes not even allowed into the paint production environments.  So, what this means is they need alternative solutions. Luckily, we've received these requests many times before so in this post we will take you through the majority of the options you'll typically have.

In this post, we are going to take you through a variety of different custom masking designs we've engineered and developed for some of the biggest brands' powder coating and e-coating lines and explain to you their purpose.  What we've seen over the years is that many coaters have issues related to masking, but don't know what the solution would be.  We hope you are able to go through this post and find a solution or inspiration for improving your line's output!
