Coating Systems

Primer and top-coat systems matched to your exposure conditions and durability requirements.

The right system for the job

A “coating system” is the full stack: surface prep + primer + intermediate (if needed) + top coat. System selection depends on what the coated surface will face: outdoor weather, chemicals, abrasion, heat, or immersion.

We build systems around common industrial coating types:

  • Epoxy primers/intermediate coats for corrosion resistance and barrier protection (common in industrial/marine service)
  • Zinc-rich primers for steel where extra corrosion protection is required
  • Polyurethane / polysiloxane finish coats when you need better exterior durability, color retention, and abrasion resistance

Application options: on-site, in-shop, or manufacturing workflows.

Tell us the environment. We’ll match the system.

To quote and spec the right system, we need:

  • Substrate (steel, aluminum, stainless, etc.)
  • Exposure (outdoor, chemical splash, abrasion, heat, immersion)
  • Desired finish (color, gloss, texture)
  • Part size and quantity (one-off vs production)
  • Timeline and location (in-shop vs on-site)

Note: For many systems, the required surface prep level matters as much as the coating choice. Industrial specs often reference blast cleaning levels like SSPC-SP10 / Near-White and defined surface profile ranges for performance coatings.

Where we apply coatings

On-Site

Large scopes completed at your location. Best for fixed structures and oversized work.

Industrial In-Shop

Large pieces shipped to our facility for controlled prep, coating, and cure.

Manufacturing

High-volume workflows for repeat runs and consistent finish output.

Who It’s For

Coating systems used for

  • Outdoor steel and equipment needing corrosion protection
  • Industrial environments with chemical fumes/splash
  • Marine/coastal exposure
  • Abrasion-prone parts and surfaces
  • Long-term color and gloss retention on exterior surfaces
