	&lt;p&gt;Many customers want to know exactly what is powdercoating and what that means.  It&amp;#8217;s just that, a powder substance used to coat the surface of metal for a durable finish.  Well, it&amp;#8217;s not that simple.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Basically, it is the standard form of painting metal these days.  Essentially, the product is slightly heated to help the powder attach itself.  The surface of the product is then sprayed with a very fine powder substance.  The product is then placed in an oven to &amp;#8220;bake&amp;#8221; the surface finish onto the item.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In the end, you get a smooth, consistent surface that is more durable and aesthetically appealing.&lt;/p&gt;
