Electrostatic Paint & Powder Coating
Professional finishes that protect and restore metal fences and gates, instead of replacing them.
Restore, Don't Replace
What is electrostatic painting?
Electrostatic painting gives the paint an electrical charge so it is drawn to the metal and wraps around it, front, back, and edges, instead of drifting past like ordinary spray. On a fence made of dozens of narrow bars, that is the difference between an even, factory-style finish and a patchy one with overspray on everything nearby. It can be done on metal that is already installed, which is exactly what a fence is.
And what is powder coating?
Powder coating applies a dry powder that is then cured with heat into a hard, bonded shell. It is one of the toughest finishes you can put on steel, which is why manufactured ornamental fencing comes powder coated from the factory. It is a natural fit for gates and new fabrication, and since we build gates in-house, finish and fabrication can come from the same shop.
Why Bother
Why does a metal fence in Arizona need a real finish?
Because the finish is the only thing standing between the steel and the weather. The desert sun chalks and fades paint year after year, and once bare metal shows, rust starts, even here. A faded, rusting fence looks worse than it is: under that tired finish is usually perfectly good steel. Refinishing costs a fraction of replacement and resets the clock.

If the metal itself is damaged, broken welds or rusted-through sections, our repair crew and mobile welding service fix the steel before the finish goes on.
Cost
What affects the price of refinishing?
The amount of metal is the starting point: a long perimeter fence is more surface than a single walk gate. Condition matters just as much, because loose rust and failing paint have to be dealt with before a new finish will hold. The finish you choose and the amount of fine detail in the metalwork round it out. The estimate is free, we look at the actual fence before quoting, and you get one clear number.
Refinishing Questions, Answered
Can you repaint my fence without removing it?
That is exactly what electrostatic painting is for. Because the charged paint wraps around the metal it lands on, an installed fence or gate can be refinished in place with an even, professional result.
My iron fence has rust spots. Is it too late to save it?
Usually not. Surface rust is normal on iron that has lost its finish, and refinishing is the fix. If the rust has eaten through the metal, that section needs repair first, and since we weld in-house we can fix the metal and then refinish it, one company for the whole job.
Which is better, electrostatic paint or powder coating?
Neither is better everywhere. Powder coating gives an extremely tough baked-on finish and is a natural fit for pieces like gates and new fabrication. Electrostatic paint is the practical choice for fencing that stays planted in the ground. We will recommend the right one for your project at the free estimate.
Do you refinish commercial properties?
Yes. We serve commercial and residential customers across Litchfield Park, Goodyear, Avondale, Buckeye, Surprise, Peoria, and Glendale, and refinishing metal fencing, gates, and railings is often far cheaper for a business than replacing them.
