Frequently asked questions

What is metal finishing?

Metal finishing is the set of processes used to prepare and coat metal parts so they resist corrosion, wear, and weathering while achieving a desired appearance. At FPS, metal finishing typically includes abrasive / sand blasting followed by in-house powder coat finishing as part of our broader metal fabrication capabilities.

We offer:

  • Abrasive / sand blasting
  • Metal powder coating (in-house)
  • Finishing for both new fabricated parts and select existing products

 

These capabilities can be used on their own or combined with our cutting, forming, welding, and machining to deliver fully finished components.

Metal finishing at FPS can be applied to a wide range of parts, including:

  • Fabricated frames, brackets, and structural components
  • Agricultural and industrial equipment parts
  • Architectural and structural steel projects
  • Consumer and home items such as furniture or equipment

If you’re unsure whether your part is a fit, you can share photos or drawings as part of your quote request.

We typically finish:

  • Carbon and mild steel
  • Many structural and fabricated steel components
  • Other common metal substrates suitable for powder coating

If you have a specific alloy or surface condition, we can review it and confirm whether it is appropriate for blasting and powder coating.

Powder coating is promoted as a high-quality, durable finish compared to liquid paint, with strong performance in everyday use on many types of products.

Customer reviews also highlight the toughness of the finish in real-world conditions, such as powder-coated furniture and wheels that resist scratching during transport and use. 

Yes. You can request:

  • Blasting only – to clean or profile parts for your own finishing
  • Powder coating only – when parts are already prepped or you’re refinishing existing items
  • Or a complete finishing sequence where we handle both blasting and powder coat

Pricing for metal finishing depends on:

  • Part size and geometry
  • Quantity and repeat frequency
  • Whether blasting, powder coating, or both are required
  • Color and texture choices
  • Masking or special handling requirements

We can often suggest ways to group parts, adjust handling, or standardize colors to keep finishing cost effective.

For more technical projects that include drawings or models, preferred file types in the online quote tools are DXF, DWG, STP and PDF.  

For simple refinish jobs (like furniture or wheels), photos and a written description are often enough to start a conversation.

Yes. Many projects combine our fabrication, welding, and machining with blasting and powder coating so that you receive complete, finished assemblies from one vendor. This reduces freight, handoffs, and variability between suppliers.

To start a metal finishing project:

  1. Tell us whether you need blasting, powder coating, or both.
  2. Share basic information on the parts: photos or drawings, material, size, and quantity.
  3. Let us know your preferred color and any gloss/texture or masking requirements.
  4. Provide your target timeframe so we can recommend the best path.

We’ll follow up with a clear metal finishing quote and help you plan from first batch through repeat work, if needed.
