Services
Yes we can!
IronShield provides surface preparation and high-end coatings for a wide variety of objects and materials. We offer both liquid coating and powder coating services. We can liquid coat, or paint, just about anything that can fit in our 20′ x 10′ x 12′ booth.
We offer powder coating for any object that can hold an electrostatic charge, endure the high heat of our oven, and anything that can fit inside our 35’ x 10’ x 10’ oven. The bulk of our powder coat projects are metal items. Take a look at the list below for a few examples of the types of items we can powder coat for you.
- Planters
- Gussets
- Small flat items
- Sink
- Pot
- Tumbler
- Bicycle frame
- Single line hand rail
- Gates
- Car body
- Architectural screening panel
- And more!

Preparation
Blasting
Blasting
IronShield’s indoor, climate-controlled facility includes a blasting booth that is 20’ x 10’ x 12’. We proudly use sand as our blasting medium to smooth, clean and shape the materials we are working on. The solid sand particles are shot out of the sandblaster and hit across the hard surface at high speeds, essentially acting as sandpaper to smooth the surface.
Etching
Etching
To prepare metal for powder coating, IronShield first rinses the metal, degreases it, rinses it again and then etches it. IronShield uses phosphate etching to improve the adhesion of the powder to the metal. Materials like aluminum can be very slick and will need a little extra help to keep the powder coat adhered. Phosphate etching also significantly improves the corrosion resistance to ensure that your newly powder coated item is resistant to rusting and will stay in near-new condition.
