Powder-coating of metals in Costa Rica

Hmmmpf!

I would ask someone locally what the Spanish version of “powder-coating” is and try do some Spanish searching online…

It’s certainly not my field but I’ve tried a few words in Spanish that I thought would work and found nothing …

[quote=”DavidCMurray”]Isn’t the proper term for power-coating “electrostatic coating”? If yes, maybe Googling that would produce results.[/quote]

Powder coating is a baked on finish in an oven. I have parts on my boat that were made from aluminum by a fabricator and then powder coated. Looks great, but no so durable.

Electrostatic coating is where the paint is applied with a spray gun and both the paint and the piece to be painted has an electrical charge. The paint is “attracted” to the piece by electricity; it gives a more consistant cover and prevents overspray.

[quote=”darwin1″]Hello All,

I wondered if anyone had any experience or knew of any companies in Costa Rica that do powder-coating of metals.

Looking to have some metalwork powder-coating.
Thank you.[/quote]

Try a Google search using the terms “recubrimiento de polvo metálico costa rica”. There is a place in Alajuela, Quimik, that might be what you are looking for or may be able to give you direction.
