It’s New, It’s Green, It’s Making Waves in the World of Finishes … Ocean State Hot Coat Opens With Technology of the Future!
February 22, 2008
WARWICK, R.I., Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ — Ocean State Hot Coat, a new
company, is serving the region with custom powder coating of car frames,
motorcycles and marine parts, and other metal items. Fast becoming the
preferred choice in high quality resistant finishes, the powder coating
process offers a waterproof, rustproof, dent and chip resistant finish for
interior and exterior uses. All powder coatings are protective and
decorative and guard against ultraviolet rays, abrasion, corrosion, and
resist cracking and peeling.
Matt Dolber, founder of the shop, has extensive auto body painting and
custom hot rod building experience. He is currently involved in a number of
exciting projects, including work on a Rancher 420 4×4ES. This ATV will be
powder coated in Xtreme Chrome, giving it a vibrant silver finish. On
display in Honda Suzuki World in Warwick, viewers can see the wide range of
color possibilities.
“This very new and green process is kind to the environment as NO
solvents are used, and is quickly taking over as the choice finish for
everything from bikes and cars to boats and outdoor furniture. Results are
uniform and without the drips so often the result of painted applications,”
states Matt. A Powder Coating Institute survey indicates that this is now
the fastest growing finishing process in North America, with no issues of
hazardous air pollutants.
Starting with clean metal services that are coated with colored powder
and then cured in an oven, the powder forms the very durable finish that is
so attractive and weather-resistant. OCEAN STATE HOT COAT will custom-color
match, or provide a variety of off-the-shelf colors. The nearly endless
selection features high and low gloss colors, metallics and clear coats.
Textured finishes easily hide surface defects and imperfections, while
marbled coatings give a distressed or antique look. Pearlized powders add
luster and sheen to the metal. “If custom color is what you want, I can do
it,” says Matt, Rhode Island’s powder coating specialist, who is assisted
by Dennis Nihill.
Automotive and motorcycle industries are steadily increasing their use
of powder coating, particularly for parts that require extra protection.
The applications are unlimited and work well for wheels, roll bars, engine
blocks, battery trays and more … the list is endless.
Matt Dolber invites visitors to his shop to see his workmanship and the
dazzling array of colors. According to Matt, “You will easily agree that
powder coating is the best choice for coated parts that require a durable,
high quality finish”.
