It is the same process as detailed above in powder coating but with an extra coating of paint which adds a unique pattern or design to your product, from a wood grain effect to a marble look finish.
With this extra coat added it provides even more protection against corrosion. We choose the colour of the powder coating that goes with the design or pattern you choose.
