Available in a range of colours and smooth/textured finished depending on the manufacturer. Plastisol coatings include a 10-year guarantee in the Burgess Hill area. - Powder Coating
A polyester powder coating of dry paint particles is applied and then baked in an oven. This causes the powder to melt and harden into a tough, colourful smooth finish.
