I’ve spent over a decade at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory, gaining hands-on experience with everything from bending sheet metal to welding, powder coating, and assembly. After all these years in the shop, I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t, especially when it comes to finishes. One question that always comes up is whether powder […]

One day this must’ve been five, maybe six years ago a customer came in with a box full of these shiny ABS casings. Small stuff, like covers for some sensor units or something. And he told me straight to my face, “Can you powder coat these?”I remember I just laughed. Not to be rude, just […]

Have you ever read those so-called “expert” articles about powder coating removal and think, has this person even held a grinder before? I sure do. They talk smooth, like removing a powder coat is just a line in the process sheet. In real life, it’s messy, smelly, and sometimes downright frustrating. Anyone who’s tried to […]

You know, folks outside the workshop often think powder coat is an easy job. Just spray the powder, push the part into the oven, wait ten minutes, and out comes a perfect finish. Looks easy enough when you’re watching a video or walking past the line. But once you’ve burned a few batches and seen […]

Have you ever noticed how the ‘simple jobs’ are the ones that come back to bite you? Powder coat two Brembo brake calipers on paper, that’s nothing. Two small shiny pieces, easy to hold, easy to spray, quick bake, done before lunch… or so people think. I’ve been at this line long enough to know […]

I can still remember my first week at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory-must’ve been around the time when our old powder booth still rattled like a diesel generator, and you had to kick the oven door just right to make it seal. Then, I was a kid fresh from the bending section, in the process […]

Someone asked me last week if you could powder coat carbon fiber. I nearly spat my tea out. Not because it’s a stupid question, but it’s the kind that sounds simple until you’ve been standing in front of an oven at two hundred degrees, wondering if you’re about to melt a customer’s “high-tech” part. There […]

You won’t believe what some guys use to clean powder coats-once saw a guy bring brake cleaner. I’m not making it up. He says, “It gets oil off the floor, so it should get dirt off this panel.” Two days later, half the gloss was gone and the color looked like old concrete. We’ve all […]

I’ve been standing near powder booths long enough to know the smell of hot paint better than my own breakfast. Been with Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for more than ten years now. From bending to welding, from polishing to assembly, I’ve touched nearly every part that passed through our hands. But powder coating that’s […]

I still remember one of the first sets of aluminum wheels we coated at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory almost ten years ago. The customer came in with four worn-out rims, faded and corroded from years on the road, and asked if we could make them look new again. I smiled because I already knew […]
