Media Blast and Powder Coating

Media Blast & Powder Coating


Many times we have customers that call in and want to repaint their old rusted gates, fence, security doors and other wrought iron accessories. Instead of replacing the old iron because it is rusted and faded we can offer in house media blasting to remove your old paint coatings. The material is blasted with a heavy grit bead that will not impinge the material. Once the material is free of its old coating and rust we then can repair, replace or clean up the old iron before applying a new durable powder coating finish.

Powder coating can add many years of life to your items. Making them virtually maintenance free. If you have any questions regarding repairing or replacing your old coating, call our office and one of our helpful representatives will assist you.

Bike Frames

Bike Frames

We have been coating many bike frames lately. From Harley Davidson swing arms, ATV Frames, Polaris roll cages, and Sand rail frames. We have over 30,000 lbs of powder in stock for all you color needs. We stock candy colors, solid colors like black, white, yellow, tan, green, browns, textured blacks and browns. We also carry many vein colors like silver vein, penny vein, copper vein. We also have a small selection of translucent and pearls. Many coating jobs can be coated the same day or within a one-two day turnaround of all stock colors. Come by and see us for all your powder coating needs.






Powder Coated Wheels


Recently we have had an influx of customers wanting to have their wheels coated. So we invested in a media blaster to remove existing paint and powder coatings. Below I have posted a few before and after pictures. I was amazed to see the difference. We can coat any size wheel with a quick turnaround. Also we have over 20,000 lbs of powder in stock so the choices are practically limitless. If you see a color and by chance we don't have it, we can order it an get it within a day or two.

If you would like to see some examples in person we welcome you to visit our shop Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

I would also like to thank all of our suppliers who provided unbelievable assistance in making this possible. John Cole and Brian Garvey from Parker Ionics, Sercy Spears and Sean Stevens from Rohm Haas, Scott and Mary Carpenter from Carpenter Chemicals, Ann Goyer and Kelly Lecount from Goyer Management.Last but definitely not least Doug Smilor from Doug Smilor Enterprises and the guys at Coast Industrial Systems.

Special thanks to the Saunders Family for their security system order. The Saunders family was recently broken into and had many of their personal possessions stolen. Mr. and Mrs. Saunder wanted to have full security on their windows and doors without closing in their home with the "jail effect." After completing the measurements with their help we sat down and designed a simple but elegant looking product.

Another concern the Saunders family had was they did not want to have the typical paint job. After reviewing our inventory of over 20,000 lbs of powder coating colors they chose to have the security system in a hammer tone powder color. This color not only increased the beauty of the iron, it also added the best protection to the finished product. Thanks again to Mr. & Mrs. Saunders for your continued support of AR IRON LLC.

For a few years now we have owned one of the best plama cutting tables around. This table allows us to cut shapes up to 4'x4'. We have over 5,000 predesigned shapes ready to be cut. We can also scan any image into our system. We use a hypertherm 1250 plasma cutter that can cut up to 1" thick plate. Not only will this machine cut 1" thick plate it will also cut at 1000 inches per minute on smaller gauge plate. Below you will see an example of a cannon that we had cut for a repeat customer. They are using this design for there ranch entrance. They also brand their cattle with this logo. We can also add these types of designs to your gates, fencing, railing, wall art and so on.

POWDER COATING & DIY SPECIALS

Every once in a while we have some HUGE production runs. This allows us to be able to powder coat more efficiently. When we are able to run production, we have the opportunity to reclaim our powder. Our automated spray booth has a down draft system. This system collects the powder that does not reach the part. It is reclaimed through two cyclones' and then the powder returns to the booth under 10 seconds. In doing so we have less raw material waste and more efficiency and production. Our line runs at 7'per minute allowing us to spray between 3-4 mils. Why purchase a liquid coating that will last for a short period of time? Upgrade to a superior more durable finish today! Keep checking back for current updates on our powder coating specials!

                                                     DO IT YOURSELF SPECIALS


Many times we get customers that call us or come by our shop to find out if we have any "stock" gates. I usually have to inform them that all our items are custom built to their needs. Therefore, I usually lose the sale to home depot or other shops because they want the gate right then. So I decided to make it more convenient to the DIY market. We are now taking orders for single gates with our without the privacy mesh backing. These single gates will come powder coated black with all the necessary hardware for installation. All you have to do is shoot us an email to tonys@arironllc.com with your dimensions. We will cut, fabricate, and powdercoat your gate BLACK to your dimensions (*up to 48" wide and 62"tall). Here's the simplest way to measure your opening. Measure the top of the opening as well as the middle and the bottom to make sure your opening is square. Then notify us by email what the smallest opening measurement is. We will deduct for hardware and build the gate to your measurements. Typically the deductions will reduce the frame size of your gate 4" inches. Let us know in your email if you would like the gate to hinge on the right or left, and if you want the gate to open in or out. Depending on our production schedule we can have the gate ready either the same day or within 2 business days. Please send us all your contact information with your measurements. In order to process your order we require half down and the other half when you pick up your gate. Below is an example of what you will receive if you order the gate with the mesh privacy backing. Other options are available. If you would like to add a lock box, decorative castings, arched tops, or anything else just notify us in the email and we will respond with the cost increase.
