Direct Answer

Why Choose Powder Coating for OEM Parts?

Powder coating is selected when metal OEM parts require durable surface protection, corrosion resistance, consistent color and uniform appearance across production batches.

FSD Precision reviews material, surface preparation, masking areas, coating requirements and application environment before quotation so powder coating supports both appearance and functional performance.

FAQ

Powder Coating FAQ

What metals can be powder coated?

Powder coating is commonly used for aluminum, steel and stainless steel parts. Zinc die casting and magnesium components require engineering evaluation for pretreatment and coating compatibility.

How thick is powder coating?

Typical industrial powder coating thickness ranges from 60 to 120 microns (2.5 to 5 mils). For tight-tolerance CNC machined features, critical dimensions are masked or offset during pre-production engineering.

Is powder coating suitable for outdoor parts?

Yes. Outdoor powder coating can support weather resistance, UV protection and corrosion resistance when the correct material preparation and coating system are selected.

What colors are available for powder coating?

Powder coating supports a wide range of standard and custom colors, including RAL color matching, matte, gloss, textured and metallic finish options.

Can aluminum parts be powder coated?

Yes. Aluminum CNC machined, die cast and fabricated components can be powder coated after suitable cleaning and surface preparation.

Can die cast parts be powder coated?

Die cast parts can be powder coated, but porosity, surface preparation and baking requirements should be reviewed before production to reduce finish defects.

How do you test powder coating quality?

Inspection may include coating thickness measurement, adhesion testing, color consistency checks, visual surface inspection and salt spray testing when required. FSD can align this with Quality Control documentation needs.

What information is needed for powder coating quotation?

Please provide CAD files, 2D drawings (with masking zones marked), material specs, color code (RAL/Pantone), and application environment. You can also review our RFQ checklist before submitting.
