Industrial Re-Coating Services
Extend the Life of Industrial Equipment and Structures:
Industrial re-coating allows owners to protect high-value equipment and infrastructure without the cost, downtime, or disruption of full replacement. At Cowboy Painting Co., we specialize in industrial re-coating services that restore protection, stop corrosion progression, and extend the service life of industrial assets.
​
Re-coating is often the most practical solution when equipment is structurally sound but existing coatings have failed due to age, corrosion, or environmental exposure.
What Industrial Re-Coating Includes
Effective industrial re-coating requires more than applying new paint over old layers. Long-term performance depends on proper surface preparation, coating compatibility, and controlled application.
​
Our industrial re-coating process may include:
-
Removal of failing coatings, rust, and corrosion
-
Surface preparation using laser cleaning or mechanical methods
-
Substrate repairs where corrosion has caused damage
-
Application of industrial primers and protective coating systems
Each step is performed to ensure coating adhesion, durability, and long-term corrosion resistance.
When Industrial Re-Coating Is the Right Solution
Industrial re-coating is ideal when assets are still structurally viable but are experiencing coating failure or corrosion-related deterioration.
​
This service is commonly used for:
-
Structural steel and support systems
-
Tanks, vessels, and condensers
-
Piping systems and process infrastructure
Re-coating slows corrosion, restores protection, and helps facilities avoid premature replacement of expensive assets.
Facility-Based vs Field Industrial Re-Coating
Industrial re-coating can be performed either in a controlled facility environment or directly at the project site, depending on asset size, access, and operational needs.
​
Facility-based re-coating allows for environmental control, improved surface conditions, and consistent coating application.
Field re-coating is performed on fixed or oversized assets that cannot be transported.
​
We help determine the most effective approach based on coating requirements, logistics, and project timelines.
