Before a part can be powder coated,
it must be properly prepared. Proper

adhesion, and proper masking ensures
that the finish is applied exactly
where needed. This section features
advertising companies that can help
you find the pretreatment and masking
solutions to help you coat the job right.
Be sure to let them know you found
them in Powder Coated Tough!
