PROFESSIONAL POWDER COATING IN CALERA, ALABAMA

Tough, factory-quality finishes for signs, gates, brackets, automotive parts, and anything else metal. Serving Calera, Birmingham, and Shelby County.

WHAT IS POWDER COATING?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process where we apply an electrostatically charged powder to a metal surface, then cure it under heat so it melts into a smooth, uniform, and extremely durable coating. Unlike paint, there’s no liquid carrier and no drips or runs, which means a cleaner, harder, longer-lasting finish.

At Darin’s Unique Designs, every piece is media-blasted, prepped, and coated in-house right here in Calera, so you get consistent quality on everything from a single bracket to a full production run.

OUR POWDER COATING PROCESS

PREP & BLAST

Every part is cleaned and media-blasted to bare metal so the coating bonds properly and lasts.

COATING APPLIED

Powder is electrostatically applied for even, complete coverage on every edge and corner.

CURING OVEN

Parts are cured under heat, melting the powder into a hard, seamless protective layer.

QUALITY CHECK

Every piece is inspected for coverage, finish, and color match before it leaves the shop.
