Facility-Based Industrial Painting & Coatings

Facility-based industrial painting and coatings provide a level of quality, control, and consistency that field-applied work often cannot match. At Cowboy Painting Co., we perform high-value industrial painting and coating projects inside our large, climate-controlled facility, allowing us to properly prepare, coat, inspect, and protect critical assets from start to finish.

Customers deliver assets to our facility—or we coordinate transport—so projects can be completed efficiently, safely, and to specification.

Why Facility-Based Painting Delivers Better Results

Painting inside a controlled facility eliminates many of the risks that impact coating performance in the field. Environmental control, proper staging, and integrated preparation all contribute to longer-lasting coatings and better finishes.

Facility-based painting allows us to:

Control temperature and humidity
Prevent flash rust and contamination
Perform multi-stage coating systems without delays
Support inspection and documentation requirements

This approach is especially valuable for high-cost or mission-critical equipment where failure is not an option.

Projects Best Suited for Facility-Based Painting & Coatings

Our facility can accommodate large, heavy, and complex components, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial painting projects.

This approach is ideal for:

Aerospace:
- Landing gear components and assemblies
- Rotor hubs and rotors
- Turbine blades and engine parts
- Fuselage panels and structural components
- Fiberglass panels and composite structures
- Wing spars and control surfaces
- Aircraft landing struts and actuators
- Helicopter frames and subassemblies
- Engine housings and exhaust components
- Aerospace test equipment and prototypes
- Aerospace tooling and molds
Maritime:
- Aluminum, steel, and fiberglass boat hulls
- Propellers and drive components
- Engine and pump parts
- Offshore platforms, cranes, and rig structures
- Submersible vehicle components
- Ship decks and superstructures
- Marine brackets, fittings, and hardware
- Rudders, keels, and stabilizers
- Fuel tanks, piping, and valves
- Marine molds and composite components
Industrial / Manufacturing:
- Industrial machinery and heavy equipment
- Steel beams, structural supports, and frameworks
- Pumps, valves, and piping components
- Injection molds, extrusion dies, and tooling
- Conveyor systems and production line equipment
- Presses, rollers, and industrial presses
- Factory floor surfaces and metal workstations
- Automotive parts and assembly equipment
- Metal fabrication components and fixtures
- High-performance industrial surfaces and specialized equipment
  
  If an asset can be transported, facility-based painting typically delivers better long-term results.

Integrated Surface Preparation Inside Our Facility

Proper surface preparation is the foundation of every successful coating system. Performing preparation inside our facility allows us to combine multiple preparation methods without exposing substrates to weather or contamination.

Our in-facility preparation capabilities include:

Laser cleaning and coating removal
Laser rust removal
Mechanical grinding and needle scaling
Surface profiling and final cleaning

This integrated approach ensures coatings are applied to clean, stable, paint-ready surfaces.

Facility-Based Application of Industrial Coating Systems

Once surfaces are properly prepared, coatings are applied inside our facility under controlled conditions. This supports consistent film thickness, proper cure times, and reliable adhesion.

We apply:

Epoxy primer and coating systems
Zinc-rich corrosion protection coatings
Urethane and polyurethane topcoats
Marine-grade and immersion-rated coatings
Specialty aerospace and military coatings

Each system is selected based on service environment and performance requirements.

Logistics, Handling & Large-Scale Capacity

Our facility is designed to handle large and heavy components, with space to stage, prep, coat, cure, and load assets efficiently. Customers may deliver components directly, or we can assist with pickup and return logistics.

This one-location workflow reduces:

Project downtime
Handling damage
Scheduling delays
Quality inconsistencies

Facility Painting vs Field Painting — Choosing the Right Approach

Not every project belongs in a facility, and not every project belongs in the field. We help clients choose the right application method based on asset size, access, schedule, and performance needs.

When possible, facility-based painting offers:

Better environmental control
Higher coating quality
Improved inspection outcomes
Longer coating service life
