Painting for the Fabrication Industry

To meet the painting needs for our fabrication shop, we partnered with Global Finishing Solutions. The result is our temperature-controlled paint booth, allowing us to “bake” after painting and to maintain a high enough temperature to paint in the winter. We also manage oversized jobs with drive-through doors. Inside workspace dimensions are 20′ wide x 16′ high x 60′ long, allowing us to paint large objects that fit within those parameters. Among other components, we use it to paint custom containers that our shop builds from the ground-up. We use both conventional spray and airless technology to apply paint uniformly.

Eighteen-gauge galvanized steel sheets and structural steel hardware reinforce the booth’s construction. All functions are carefully calibrated and continuously monitored with a computerized system using industrial process controls. The booth operator oversees the job at an interface control station.

Painting to Specification

We paint every product fabricated at pdblowers, including blower packages. We meet all specifications and industry standards, including those set by the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) for surface prep and DFT (dry film thickness) standards set by the customer. For their superior performance, we use solvent-based primers and finish coat paints. We also work with specialty finishes like epoxies and polyurethane and offer powder finish as an outsourced option. These can be applied after blasting carbon steel or mild steel components.

We can create and apply custom paint colors. The defaults are “OSHA Yellow” for guards and “Equipment Gray,” using oil or water-based Sherwin Williams products. If your state regulations confine in-state painting to water-based, we can paint your component with oil-based paint and ship it to you, in accord with our state regulations.
