DEDICATED TO EXCELLENCE: SERVICE • QUALITY • INNOVATION
ESTABLISHED 1953
At All Metals Fabricating, we help teams move faster by combining our capabilities in custom metal fabrication and precision machining with powder coating services through our in-house finishing team at All Powder Coat & Screen. Because we operate in the same facility, we reduce handoffs and keep projects moving from fabrication to finish with fewer delays.
If your next project requires powder coating, we'll need a few details at the start. When you provide this information early, we can turn around a fast quote and set your job up for a smooth production run.
We need to understand your part’s size, geometry, and features so we can plan our process to ensure the result you need. A shop drawing with overall dimensions is an ideal starting point. (And if you’re partnering with our team at All Metals for sheet metal fab as well, a shop drawing will likely be required.)
If your parts are manufactured elsewhere and you’re coming to All Powder Coat & Screen specifically for finishing, samples, or clear photos are also helpful in producing a fast, accurate quote.
Quantity affects everything from racking to scheduling, and it also helps determine whether your timeline is feasible. If you have a firm ship date or internal milestone, share that early so we can confirm our capacity and align on realistic dates.
Color is often the starting point as most customers plan for powder coating services, but the choice involves more than selecting a specific hue. We’ll also need to know preferences for gloss level, texture, and powder type.
If you don’t know the answers yet, we’re ready to help you find the right option based on your part’s application and aesthetic requirements. We can also help you ensure your choice aligns with your budget and lead-time needs.
We’re happy to provide guidance on the right powder, but we’ll need some context first. Most importantly: where will this part be used and how will it be handled?
That information is critical for recommending the right powder and process. For example, an outdoor, high-touch component will have different finishing needs than a low-contact, indoor part in a climate-controlled environment.
Drawings don’t always make masking requirements obvious. But if it isn’t clear from the start what must be masked or plugged, that can create delays once parts are in production.
That’s why we need to know about areas that must remain uncoated, such as threaded holes, grounded points, mating surfaces, and more. Clarity here helps protect functional surfaces and ultimately prevents delays.
If your project calls for a specialized powder or uncommon finish, early communication is important. Specialty powders or processes may require additional testing and entail longer supplier lead times. We want your quote to reflect those needs accurately from the start.
These basics will be important in most powder coating services, but every job has its own nuances. If you have questions, contact us at All Metals Fabricating or reach out to the team at All Powder Coat & Screen and experience the best in Texas manufacturing!
