Wet Paint Spraying
Our wet paint spraying service delivers high-quality, durable finishes for automotive and industrial components. Using advanced spray booths and proprietary systems, we coat materials like aluminium, carbon fibre, and stainless steel to exacting standards. Our process enhances aesthetics, protects against corrosion, and meets stringent automotive specifications.
Powder Coating
Powder coating provides a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution for durable metal finishes. With five dedicated lines, we handle high-volume and bespoke projects, offering RAL, Pantone, and BS colour ranges. The process ensures long-lasting protection against rough handling and outdoor conditions.
Metal Preparation
Our metal preparation services include degreasing, oxidation removal, and pre-treatment to ensure flawless coating adhesion. We process components from tooling to final finish, eliminating defects like cold flow and pinholes for optimal surface quality.

Media blasting removes corrosion, die-lube, and old coatings without damaging substrates. Using advanced techniques, we prepare surfaces for recoating or finishing, ensuring durability and adherence to industry standards for automotive and industrial applications.
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting efficiently cleans and textures metal surfaces by removing rust, paint, and contaminants. This process enhances material integrity and prepares components for subsequent finishing steps, ensuring consistent quality for high-performance applications.

Worked through agency, showed complete lack of empathy towards my necessary covid vaccination, got fired 2nd day of being sick due to the vaccine through a poorly written email, NOT a good company to work for, wouldn't give it 1 star if it wasn't necessary.
