Powder Coating, Electropolishing & Anodizing for Superior Protection

At Preferred Metal, our surface treatments do more than improve appearance — they elevate the durability, reliability, and overall performance of your components. From creating a refined, professional look that reflects the quality of your brand to extending product life by shielding parts from corrosion, wear, and environmental stress, every treatment is applied with precision. Our controlled processes and rigorous quality checks ensure consistent results across a wide range of use cases. Whether you’re in aerospace, automotive, marine, electronics, or industrial manufacturing, our versatile surface treatment options are designed to meet your exact specifications and industry demands.

Our Surface Treatment Capabilities Include:

  • Powder Coating – A durable, chip-resistant finish that protects against scratches, fading, and wear. Powder coating also delivers a smooth, uniform appearance ideal for both functional and decorative applications.
  • Electropolishing – Enhances the corrosion resistance and smoothness of stainless steel surfaces. This process is ideal for applications where hygiene, cleanability, and a bright finish are critical, such as in medical and food-grade components.
  • Anodizing for Aluminum – Adds a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer while allowing for vibrant color finishes. Anodizing maintains the strength and durability of aluminum parts and is widely used in environments where both function and aesthetics matter.
