Why Did You Change to Powder Coat Paint for Dur-Red Products?

Our products are finished with a powder-coated paint, providing a more durable coating with a better finish than baked enamel or solvent-based primer, without the environmental concerns of a solvent paint process.
Read our Technical Article – Why Use Powder Coat Paint Instead of Baked Enamel?

Can I Repaint Products that Have Been Powder Coat- Painted or Prime-Coated?

Yes, our products that have been powder coat painted or prime-coated can be painted, provided our recommendations are followed.
