When it comes to finishing metalwork, a great powder coat is only as good as the preparation behind it. That’s why our Powdercoating department at GreenFabs is built around a simple philosophy: prep it right, coat it right, and it lasts.
Whether you’re a one-off fabricator needing a single batch finished or a company looking for a reliable sub-contract partner, here’s what our department can offer.
Shot Blasting & Surface Preparation
Every good powder coat finish starts long before the spray gun comes out. Our in-house shot blasting facility strips back mill scale, rust, old paint, and surface contaminants from metal components, leaving a clean, mechanically keyed surface that powder coat can properly bond to.
This step matters more than people often realise — skipping proper prep is one of the biggest causes of premature coating failure, flaking, and poor adhesion. By shot blasting every component prior to coating, we ensure:
- Removal of scale, rust, and old finishes
- A consistent surface profile for maximum coating adhesion
- Better long-term durability, especially for outdoor or high-wear applications
- A uniform base that helps colour and texture apply evenly
We can handle a wide range of metal types and component sizes, from small brackets and fixings to larger structural fabrications.

Full RAL Colour Range
Once prepped, components move through to coating — and here’s where GreenFabs really gives customers flexibility. We offer the full RAL colour range, so whether you need to match an existing corporate colour scheme, meet a specific architectural spec, or simply want something a little different, we can mix and match to suit.
Popular finish options include:
- Gloss, satin, and matt textures
- Standard RAL solid colours
- Metallic and textured finishes on request
- Colour matching to existing samples or references
No job is too specific — if you can give us a RAL code (or a sample to match against), we can coat to it.
Sub-Contract Capacity
We know that not every business has its own in-house finishing line — and even those that do sometimes need overflow capacity. That’s why our Powdercoating department has dedicated sub-contract capacity available for other fabricators, engineering firms, and trade customers.
If you need:
- Regular or one-off batch coating runs
- Fast turnaround on urgent jobs
- A reliable finishing partner to complement your own fabrication work
- Consistent quality control and RAL-matched results every time
…our team can slot your work into the schedule and treat it with the same care as our own production.

- Full process under one roof — shot blasting and coating together means fewer handling stages and better quality control
- Any RAL colour — no limitations on colour choice or finish
