Rehab and Restoration Movements—How Smart Innovators are Transforming Trash into Design Treasures
If you have checked out rehab and makeover shows on networks like HGTV and the DIY Network, you have probably seen clever people transform what seems like trash into treasures. They decorate homes, yards, and commercial spaces for pennies on the dollar, because they use inexpensive or found objects and restore them in modern ways. These enterprising individuals have inspired a movement toward imaginative repurposing, and some followers even use their skills to upcycle items for profit. If you have been bitten by the proverbial rehab/restore bug, you are not alone. However, before you get started, you need to learn more about the ways in which various items can be restored or transformed. For example, when it comes to many metal items, power coating services offer an excellent way to transform tired or damaged pieces into like-new beautiful objects.
If you are new to the concept of powder coating, this process utilizes colored powder applied electrostatically to metal items and heat-cured to form a durable finish. You probably see plenty of powder-coated items in your everyday life, such as bike frames, kitchen mixers, playground equipment, outdoor furniture, and vehicle parts. With so many custom powder coating colors and finishes, this medium is as versatile as paint but provides the durability metal needs. What are some finds that you could powder coat for your home or to sell for profit? The possibilities are endless, but popular items include metal bed frames, antique light fixtures or lamps, bird cages, patio furniture, older bicycle frames, metal picture or mirror frames, and even tools.

Thanks for your comment about how you can powder coat many things from playgrounds to vehicles to give them a nice finish. I like how you said that the material to powder coat resembles paint, yet is very durable at the same time. If someone were to consider powder coating services, I would suggest they use these suggestions.
