This is a custom piece powdercoated by Rainbow Paint and Blasting. The piece is a smoker made of wrought iron, and weighs around 800 lbs. The smoker must be coated to withstand exposure to light, extreme heat, and cold. This is an excellent example of the abilities of our fine powder coating specialists, and a testimony to the durability of the powder coat paints. Take a minute to look at the rest of the pictures on this page, they document the refinishing of this fine piece of art.
This smoker was brought in with exterior paint in poor condition. The heating and cooling of the smoker causes the finish to expand and contract. This and the extreme of temperature which the item is subject to indicate a need for a very high durability coating. The first picture is the pig after abrasive blasting to remove the old finish and any corrosion on the surface. The smoker is loaded on a roller cart for coating and then moved into the oven for curing. The next step in the process is choice and application of the powdercoat paint. In this case we used a black high temperature heat resistant ( up to 650 deg. F) powder. Note in the second picture that the powder exits the spray gun a grey color. During baking in the cure oven it turns black. This piece required some detailing, which was done after powdercoat cure. The details such as the bloodshot eyes, and the red tinged tusks were painted by hand. This adds a nice touch to the finished product. The pig has been performing well since it was coated, the owner says there has been no discoloration or change in the finish. This is a great example of the work our professional powdercoat painters are capable of.
