Professional Surface Treatment

Custom Surface Finishing Services

Improve Appearance, Durability, and Corrosion Resistance

Our surface finishing services protect metal parts and enhance their appearance. We provide powder coating, anodizing, spray painting, polishing, brushing, galvanizing, and sandblasting to meet functional and cosmetic requirements across industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.

Service Overview

What Is Surface Finishing?

Surface finishing is the final treatment applied to metal parts after cutting, machining, or welding. It improves corrosion resistance, wear resistance, electrical insulation, adhesion, and appearance. The right finish depends on the material, operating environment, and design requirements.

Powder Coating

Steel, stainless, aluminum — 50–150 μm, RAL / Pantone / custom colors.

Anodizing

Aluminum — 5–25 μm (Type II); hardcoat Type III thicker. Clear, black, colors.

Spray Painting

Most metals — 25–100 μm, custom colors.

Polishing

Stainless, aluminum, brass — mirror or satin finish.

Brushing

Stainless, aluminum — satin directional texture.

Sandblasting

Most metals — matte surface, oxide removal, pre-finish.

Galvanizing

Steel — corrosion protection, silver-gray.

Passivation

Stainless steel — restores corrosion resistance, no color change.

Quality Control

Quality Control for Surface Finishing

Every order passes six inspection checkpoints — from surface pretreatment verification to final visual inspection — so the finish meets the agreed specification.

Step 01

Surface Preparation Check

Surface cleanliness and pretreatment are verified before any coating is applied.
Step 01
Step 02

Coating Thickness Measurement

Dry film thickness is measured with a DFT gauge to confirm the specified range.
Step 02
Step 03

Color & Gloss Check

Color and gloss are checked against the agreed standard.
Step 03
Step 04

Adhesion Test

Adhesion is tested with a tape test or cross-cut method.
Step 04
Step 05

Salt Spray Test

Salt spray testing is available on request for corrosion validation.
Step 05
Step 06

Final Visual Inspection

Every part receives a final visual inspection for defects before packing.
