Superior Protection & Unmatched Durability  

ArmorTex™ / Rock Guard Premium Textured Powder coating is the modern method of sealing steel against corrosion. It’s been around for years and is used with many automotive lines for protecting car & truck frames.  A few boat trailers are still “spray” painted, but anymore most boat trailers are powder coated.  Good Powder coating equipment is expensive, often running to $250,000+ for a fully functioning system and many manufacturers will cut corners to save on cost.  Powder coating is a ultra strong and reliable finish, but like anything the end result is only as good as the prep put in beforehand.  Most trailer companies prep their trailers using a acid bath, this makes for a good clean prepped surface for the first few trailers but if  your trailer is not one of the first ones in the acid, all of the grease, oil, and other impurities from the previous frames will end up on yours, leaving behind a steel surface that will corrode from the inside out.  Our process is designed to give every trailer the best finish all the time, every time.

    Our ArmorTex Textured Powder Coating Process

We start with bead blasting the trailer frames and trailer components.  This is far superior to a simple acid bath that many other manufacturers use.  The bead blasting removes all of the impurities and oils on the steel.  It also leaves small dimples in the steel, increasing the strength of the steel tubing and adding to the anti-slip texture.  This gives us a superiorly cleaned surface to apply our premium thick ArmorTex Powder too.

We then roll our frames and components into our powder booth.  Here we negatively charge the steel.  Then we apply the powder with our top of the line spray gun, which electrically charges the powder as it sprays out.  This ensures a consistent, even coating that is at least 9 Mil's thick in the nook and crannies of the steel, and 11 Mil thick on the trailer frame.  

The Trailer frames and components are then moved over to our large state of the art oven and baked at 400 Fahrenheit for seventeen minutes.  Giving our trailers the high quality, ultra durable finish that they are known for.  The Premium ArmorTex Textured Powder Coating is simply unmatched in the pontoon trailer industry.  Providing you with peace of mind that your trailer will look factory new for years to come. 

Examples of an Acid Bath prep before powder coating

This trailer is rusting from underneath the powder coated finish, oils and impurities from the acid bath will start to corrode and rust, pushing through the finish.  By bead blasting our frames, we insure a quality prepped surface for every one of our trailers.  While our thick textured powder coating protects your trailer from rock chips, and other surface damage.  Keeping your steel trailer frame protected for years to come.  The Textured nature of our ArmorTex/Rock Guard Textured Powder Coating also provides a non-slip finish adding to your safety when climbing on the trailer, especially at the launch ramp.
