Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.




Step 1


To begin the ordering process, click on the ‘MHS Builder (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/mhsbuilder/mhsbuilder.php)’ link from the TheCustomSaberShop.com (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com) homepage:
