Powder-coating of metals in Costa Rica

[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.

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 …

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

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried finding the spanish term for powder-coating, but haven’t had too much luck.
Thank you again.

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.

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.

Call Triple R body shop in San Jose or the Harley dealership. They’ll point you in the right direction.
