Powder coating in Invercargill for wheels, frames, gates and fabricated metalwork. Local preparation, practical advice and a finish specified for the job.
Bring the metalwork. We’ll work through the finish.
Our powder coating team works with Southland fabricators, trade businesses and private customers. Tell us what the component does, where it will be used and the finish you want.
01 / Automotive
Wheels & frames
Mag wheels, motorbike frames and suitable automotive components. Send photos and dimensions so we can check the material, existing coating and preparation needed.
02 / Fabrication
Guards & components
Machinery guards, brackets, aluminium extrusions and switchboard enclosures. Identify close fits, threads and electrical contact surfaces before coating.
03 / Exterior metalwork
Gates, rails & furniture
Gates, decorative ironwork, metal furniture and signage frames. Outdoor and coastal exposure help determine the preparation and powder system.
The workshop process
The finish starts with preparation.
Paint, corrosion and contamination all affect the result. We assess the part before agreeing the preparation, masking and coating requirements.
Assess & prepare
Send the material, dimensions and current condition. In-house paint stripping and chemical pretreatment are available, with the process selected for the substrate and its condition.
Mask & coat
Mark surfaces that need to remain uncoated, including threads, bearing fits and earthing contact points. Powder is applied to the prepared component in the agreed colour and finish.
Cure & inspect
The component is cured to the requirements of the selected powder system, then cooled and inspected. Agree handling, packing and collection arrangements as part of the job.
Colour is only part of the choice
Match the colour. Specify the finish.
We use the Dulux powder coating range. Gloss level, texture, service environment and the underlying material all matter when selecting a coating.
Bring a colour reference or physical sample for repeat work. Product availability and suitability need confirming before the job is booked.
Use the selector as a starting point. Confirm current colours and view a physical sample before approving the finish.

Before you bring it in
Powder coating questions.
Can you coat my existing wheels or metalwork?
Often the first step is an assessment of the material and current condition. Send photos and dimensions. Existing paint, corrosion, damage and previous surface treatments influence the preparation and suitability.
Does the part need to be stripped or dismantled?
Tell us about existing coatings and any seals, bearings, plastics or other components. Agree stripping and disassembly with the team before delivery, because the coating and curing process must suit the complete item presented.
What determines the powder coating price?
Part size, quantity, condition, stripping, masking, handling and the chosen powder system all affect the quote. A photo alone may not show the work required, so include dimensions and the material where known.
Can you match an earlier batch?
Send the original colour and product reference, gloss or texture, and a sample if available. Ageing and changes in product availability can affect a match. Agree the finish before starting a repeat batch.
