Services We Provide in Nanaimo

Our process ensures proper prep and durable finishes for restoration work, performance parts, and custom fabrication.
Powder Coating in Nanaimo, BC
Powder coating is a high‑performance finishing system that delivers a durable, corrosion‑resistant, and visually consistent coating for metal parts. It forms a thick, fully bonded protective layer that outperforms traditional paint in impact resistance, abrasion resistance, weathering, and long‑term protection.
Compared to liquid paint, powder coating is tougher, more chip‑resistant, and far more stable outdoors — it doesn’t run, sag, or peel, and it holds its colour and gloss for years in real‑world use. It also offers excellent resistance to oils, fuels, cleaners, road debris, and harsh environments.
With access to over 12,000 colours, textures, metallics, candies, and specialty finishes from leading manufacturers, powder coating gives you nearly unlimited options — whether you want a clean OEM look or a bold custom finish. Every part is meticulously prepped and coated for a clean, consistent, standout result.
Cerakote Ceramic Coating in Nanaimo, BC
Cerakote is a premium thin-film ceramic coating engineered for extreme performance and demanding environments. It provides exceptional resistance to heat, abrasion, chemicals, and corrosion while maintaining a smooth, uniform film thickness that doesn’t affect tolerances.
We apply multiple Cerakote systems, including:
- High-temperature ceramic coatings rated up to 2,000°F for exhaust components, turbo housings, headers, and other heat-exposed engine parts.
- Low-friction, dry-film ceramic coatings designed for pistons, cylinders, combustion chamber surfaces, and other high-wear or moving components where reduced friction and increased durability are critical.
- Anodize-replacement ceramic coatings that deliver superior corrosion resistance and colour stability compared to traditional anodizing.
- Elite-series ceramic-polymer hybrids offering industry-leading hardness, abrasion resistance, and chemical protection.
Mobile Abrasive Blasting in Nanaimo, BC
Our mobile abrasive blasting service brings professional surface cleaning and restoration directly to your location. We handle everything from boat hulls to heavy equipment, trailers, structural steel, agricultural machinery, industrial components, and large fabricated assemblies. If it’s too large or too inconvenient to transport, we can blast it on-site.
Mobile blasting is ideal for removing:
- Rust, paint, and coatings
- Corrosion, scale, and contaminants
- Weathered or oxidized surfaces
