Powder coated products can be seen everywhere in our lives– from the toughest machinery, to the household items we use daily. It is the durable, attractive finish that protects products from extreme weather conditions, chemicals, moisture, and other harmful outside influences that otherwise cause wear issues that are often seen with liquid paints.
Premier Powder Coating and Custom Fabrication is the only member of the nationally recognized Powder Coating Institute in the state of Idaho. Our industry experts are highly trained and experienced in the proper powder coating techniques, making us the highest trained powder coating team in the state of Idaho.
Our vast knowledge of surface preparation, precision masking, priming, and powder coating sets us apart as the choice powder coating provider in the state of Idaho.
Premier utilizes a unique and thorough powder coating process that is proven to protect products against rust and corrosion. Our powder coating process has been tested in both controlled and uncontrolled environments, with great results. In a controlled environment, our powder coatings have withstood over 4,000 hours of salt spray without rust forming underneath the powder coating surface. In an uncontrolled environment, our powder coatings have withstood wear and tear along highways, oceans, and rivers for eleven years, without problem. The crosshatch adhesion test, bend test, impact test, and chemical resistance tests have proved that our processes are exemplary to the powder coating industry.
Premier is proud to offer the largest abrasive sandblasting booth and powder coating oven in Idaho. Our oven is 30’ long, 10’ wide, and 8’ tall. This allows us to handle almost every project, from small cars to long handrail jobs.

Facts
Since its introduction in North America almost 40 years ago, powder coating has become the fastest growing finishing technology in use today.
Powder Coating is a dry paint which contains no solvents. Each powder particle contains the necessary resin, pigment, modifiers, and a curing agent.
Powder is applied in dry form electro-statically by charging the powder particles and applying them directly to the grounded part. The charged powder adheres to the surface until it enters a curing oven where the powder melts, bonds, and cures to the desired surface characteristic. The result is coating which provides a uniform, durable, high quality finish.
Quality
Powder is cost effective and is superior to most liquid coatings for the following reasons:
- Chip resistance
- Corrosion resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Abrasion resistance
- Impact resistance
- Adhesion
- Ultraviolet resistance
- Weather-ability
