Stop Repainting Every Year. Coat It Once, Forget It for 20 Years.
Professional electrostatic powder coating for gates, grills, steel structures, industrial equipment and metalwork. A finish so tough it laughs at Kenya's sun, rain and coastal salt air.
The Real Cost of "Just Painting It"
If your metal assets keep rusting, fading or chipping, the problem isn't the metal — it's the finish.
Constant Repainting
Regular paint fails in 1-3 years under Kenya's UV and humidity. You end up repainting the same gates, rails and machines every budget cycle.
Corrosion & Rust
Untreated or poorly coated metal corrodes from the inside out, weakening structural integrity and creating safety hazards.
Rising Maintenance Costs
Each repaint cycle means labour, materials, downtime and production disruption. Over 10 years, you pay 3-5x more than a single powder coat job.
Poor Aesthetics
Peeling, bubbling and fading paint makes your facility, property or product look neglected — undermining your brand and property value.
Why Powder Coating Is the Smarter Choice
A factory-grade finish that bonds to metal at the molecular level — no peeling, no fading, no excuses.
Extreme Durability
3-5x tougher than liquid paint. Resists chipping, scratching, chemicals and impact — even in high-traffic industrial environments.
UV & Weather Resistance
Engineered to withstand Kenya's intense equatorial sun, heavy rains and coastal humidity without fading or chalking.
200+ Colour Options
Full RAL colour range including metallic, textured, matte and high-gloss finishes. Match your brand, architecture or specifications exactly.
Eco-Friendly Process
Zero VOC emissions. No solvents. Overspray is reclaimed and reused. The responsible choice for environmental compliance.
Lower Lifetime Cost
Pay once for a finish that lasts 15-20 years. No maintenance, no touch-ups. Your total cost of ownership drops by up to 60%.
Uniform, Flawless Finish
Electrostatic application ensures even coverage on complex shapes, corners and edges — no drips, runs or thin spots.

Powder Coating vs. Liquid Paint: The Numbers
A side-by-side comparison that makes the decision obvious.
| Feature | Liquid Paint | Powder Coating ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | 1-3 years | 15-20 years |
| Corrosion resistance | Moderate | Excellent (salt spray rated) |
| UV resistance | Fades in 6-12 months | Colour-stable for 10+ years |
| Chip & scratch resistance | Low | 3-5x stronger than paint |
| Coverage uniformity | Drips, runs, thin spots | Perfectly even on all surfaces |
| Environmental impact | VOC emissions, solvent waste | Zero VOCs, overspray reclaimed |
| 10-year total cost | 3-5x initial cost (repainting) | 1x initial cost (zero maintenance) |

How It Works: From Bare Metal to Beautiful
A proven 5-step process that delivers consistent, factory-quality results every time.
Inspect & Quote
We assess your items, discuss colour and finish options, and provide a clear, fixed-price quote.
Surface Preparation
Items are sandblasted or chemically treated to remove rust, oil and old coatings — the foundation of a lasting finish.
Electrostatic Application
Dry powder is electrostatically sprayed onto the metal, ensuring complete and even coverage on every surface.
Oven Curing
Items are baked at 180-200°C, fusing the powder into a hard, seamless coating that bonds to the metal.
Quality Check & Delivery
Every piece is inspected for thickness, adhesion and finish quality before being carefully packed and delivered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about powder coating in Kenya.
Powder coating is an advanced finishing process where dry powder is electrostatically applied to metal surfaces and then cured under heat in an oven at 180-200°C. Unlike liquid paint, it creates a thick, uniform coating that bonds directly to the metal, resulting in a finish that is significantly more durable and resistant to chipping, scratching, fading and corrosion.
A properly applied powder coating finish typically lasts 15 to 20 years, even in Kenya's challenging tropical climate with high humidity, UV exposure and coastal salt air. This is 3 to 5 times longer than conventional liquid paint, making it the most cost-effective metal finishing option available.
Almost any metal item can be powder coated, including gates, grills, window frames, steel doors, fencing, industrial machinery, automotive parts, furniture, shelving, guardrails and structural steelwork. If it's made of steel, aluminium or iron, we can coat it.
Powder coating costs vary based on the size, complexity and quantity of items. However, when you factor in the dramatically longer lifespan and zero maintenance costs compared to regular painting, powder coating costs up to 60% less over the lifetime of the asset.
