DIY Powder Coated Accent Tables

admin • February 1, 2018

The time of year when it’s not exactly winter anymore, but it’s also not warm enough to spend copious amounts of time outside, is a hard time of year. This is the time of year where we often get an itch for home improvement projects, but most home improvement projects aren’t really attainable in February. You can, however, work on a few DIY projects indoors. One of our favorite powder coated DIY projects, is a powder coated DIY accent table!

Wire Basket

There are different levels of DIY projects. Ones where you don’t have to do very much assembly, you simply combine other items together to create something new. And ones where you completely create something brand new, from scratch. For people who want an easy DIY with a chic look, we love a Wire Basket DIY Accent table! Find a wire laundry basket with a design you love(not mesh), and get it powder coated to the color and texture that you like! Head to your local home improvement store, and get a round wood piece to put atop the table. You should be able to find a precut piece in a finish you love in the precut lumber section of your local home improvement store. Pick up a few fasteners, and use them to attach the flat bottom of the basket to the wooden round.

Treeslab table with hairpin legs

The first thing you’ll need, is a tree slab. Simply put, this is a slice of a log. You can find these at the precut section at your local lumber store for relatively inexpensive. You can also order them online. You can find hairpin legs at a local hardware store, or online. Select a color you like. Getting these hairpin legs powder coated will keep the color stay true, as well as be more durable and will last longer. Once you’ve picked out your table legs, you just need a few screws and a drill!

Sheet metal tables

If you’re looking for something that will take a little bit more time and effort to truly make it your own, go pick up a few aluminum sheet metal. You’ll also need wood rounds for the top of your tables, powder coating for the exterior of your sheet metal, heavy duty glue, and metal clippers.

Cut the sheet metal to your desired height, and use embroidery thread to form the metal into cylinders. Use the heavy duty glue to adhere the sheet metal to the wooden round, and let dry.

Powder Coating for the Medical Field (AS9001)

By Admin • February 3, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for the Medical Field (AS9001) Medical-grade powder coating prioritizes cleanability, chemical resistance, durability, and documented quality suitable for hospitals and device makers. Buyers often expect AS9001-style rigor with ISO-style documentation, including travelers, lot traceability, cure logs, inspections, and retained panels. Proper prep drives longevity: degreasing, targeted media blasting, conversion coating, and outgassing for castings, plus precise masking of functional interfaces. Cure must be verified at part temperature with time-at-temp logs, calibrated film-build checks, and controlled color and gloss against masters. Validation uses adhesion, impact, bend, chemical rubs with alcohols and quats, corrosion testing when needed, and cleanability trials that mirror real SOPs. Common applications include carts, IV stands, rails, cabinets, monitor arms, housings, and bed components, with neutral, low-glare textures for easy wipe downs. Cost reflects geometry, masking, pretreatment, custom colors or antimicrobials, documentation level, and batching strategy. Use a Utah finisher that shows sample travelers, retained panels, and oven mapping, and can scale from prototype to production while maintaining consistency. Service coverage spans Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis County, Weber County, and Cache County with pickup and delivery by arrangement. Need help setting specs or validation?

Why powder coating for aerospace under ISO/AS9100 matters

By Admin • January 27, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for Aerospace (ISO/AS9100) Powder coating provides durable, lightweight, low-VOC protection for aerospace interiors, avionics housings, and ground-support equipment. ISO/AS9100 adds aviation-grade controls: documented travelers, first article inspection, calibrated gauges, cure logs, and full traceability. Performance depends on disciplined prep: precision cleaning, media blasting, conversion coating, outgassing, masking, and purpose-built racking with solid grounding. Cure is validated with thermocouples on representative mass to hit time-at-temperature. Film build is held within spec and Faraday areas are engineered up front. Release testing covers thickness, adhesion, impact, bend, gloss, color delta, humidity or salt fog, and specified chemical rubs. Use powder for consistent appearance and abrasion resistance in cabins and on the ramp. Choose alternatives like anodize, conversion coat, ceramic, or vacuum coating when ultra-thin or high-temp films are required. Cost drivers: part size and complexity, masking, pretreatment stack, finish tier, special tests, and documentation packages. Buyer checklist: drawings with mask and film-build zones, color and gloss targets, required tests, documentation needs, sample panels or pilot build, and packaging specs.
