Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Color and protect your metal coil

Coil coating does a number of things for your metal. It can help protect the integrity of a finished product and can also be used to add visual effects to a metal coil. Pre-painting achieves colors that are of higher quality and more uniform than those achieved with post-painting.

I recommend: Amerimax Building Products provides both steel and aluminum coil coating and offers pre-painting in the full spectrum of colors as well as highly reflective paint. They will work with your company to match custom color requirements. Contact S & D Coil Coating Services for all of your coil coating needs. Choose from a variety of coating materials as well as visual effects as varied as solid colors, stripes and embossing.

Request a quote from multiple coil coating companies

Shop around before you choose a coil coating company for your business. Many service providers offer online quote requests, a quick and easy way to receive information about coil coating capabilities and pricing so you can find the right service for your business.

I recommend: Find info on the coil coating processes employed by Plasma Coatings and request a price quote on their website. Review coating samples before you contract with them. Roll Coater is an expert in metal finishes, substrates and coil coating. Visit their website to request a price quote for your coil coating needs.

Buy a coil coating oven for your business

Coil coaters are large pieces of machinery and the cost may prohibit most business from owning one, but if your company provides coil coating or constantly needs to contract with an outside coil coating company, it can be a worthwhile investment to purchase one.

I recommend: ComenCoSystems manufactures a coil coating oven and ventilation system that can clean, treat, prepare, and pre-paint aluminum and steel. Epcon is a custom manufacturer of industrial ovens, including coil coating ovens. For help designing a coil coating oven, visit the company website to contact their engineering team.
