You Build the Component. Blucoat Handles the Finish.
Manufacturers and metal fabricators supplying data center projects have enough to manage without adding powder coating to their production workload. Once a component is fabricated, the finishing process still needs to be completed correctly, consistently, and according to the project’s specifications.
Blucoat provides data center component finishing for manufacturers and fabricators that need a reliable partner to handle powder coating and surface preparation. You send us the components. We manage the finishing process and return finished parts ready for the next stage of your production, shipping, or installation process.
From repeat production runs to large quantities of fabricated components, Blucoat provides the equipment, processes, and quality control needed to support demanding data center applications.

A Finishing Partner for Data Center Components
Data center components often need a durable, professional finish that meets specific project requirements. Manufacturers and fabricators may be working from coating specifications provided by a general contractor, engineer, owner, or other project stakeholder.
Blucoat can work from those requirements to help ensure the finished product meets the specified coating system and application requirements.
Approximately 95% of Blucoat’s powder coating jobs already have a powder system specified. When a system is specified, we work with the appropriate supplier to obtain the required product and apply it according to the project’s requirements.
This makes Blucoat more than a place to send parts for coating. We can become an extension of your production process, handling the finishing work while you focus on fabrication and manufacturing.
Consistency from Part to Part
When you are producing components for a large data center project, consistency matters. Components may be manufactured in significant quantities and installed throughout a facility, making uniform appearance and finish important.
Blucoat uses robotic powder application to provide controlled, repeatable coverage. Our quality control program further supports consistency throughout production runs.
The result is a finishing process designed around repeatability, not just individual parts.
Our data center component finishing services are suited to a range of fabricated metal components, subject to size, material, configuration, and coating requirements. Learn more about the types of components we can powder coat.
High-Volume Powder Coating for Data Center Manufacturing
Data center projects can require manufacturers and fabricators to produce substantial quantities of components within established production schedules. Your finishing partner needs to be able to handle the volume without sacrificing consistency.
Blucoat has experience with high-volume production. Our capabilities allow us to support manufacturers and fabricators that need large quantities of components processed efficiently. We can discuss your production volume, part dimensions, coating requirements, and timeline to determine how our capabilities fit your needs.
For more information about our production capabilities, see our page on high-volume data center component powder coating.
Surface Preparation and Powder Application Under One Roof
Proper surface preparation is an important part of achieving a quality finished product. Blucoat provides in-house sandblasting capabilities, allowing us to handle surface preparation as part of the finishing process.
Keeping preparation and powder coating together can simplify your workflow and reduce the need to coordinate multiple finishing vendors.
Blucoat can handle large components. Our large-capacity shot blaster with 48-inch by 77-inch part window, expands our ability to take on larger, higher-end, and high-specification coating projects. Parts up to 84 inches diagonally can be accommodated for powder coating, depending on their dimensions, configuration, material, and coating requirements.
Built Around Your Production Workflow
Send Us the Parts. We Handle the Finish.
Every manufacturer and fabricator has a different production process. Some may need individual batches finished as they are completed. Others may be producing thousands of similar components for a large project.
Blucoat can work with you to establish a finishing workflow based on your requirements, including:
- Component dimensions and materials
- Required surface preparation
- Specified powder systems
- Production quantities
- Desired finish and appearance
- Production schedules
- Packaging and handling requirements
- Shipping and logistics
Providing this information upfront helps establish realistic expectations and allows our team to identify potential issues before production begins.
Supporting Your Schedule
Finishing is often one step in a larger manufacturing and construction timeline. Components may need to move from fabrication to coating and then on to another facility, contractor, or jobsite.
Blucoat understands the importance of coordinating production with the larger project schedule. Clear communication about quantities, specifications, timing, and logistics helps keep the finishing process organized and predictable.
Whether components are coming from a nearby manufacturer in the Upper Midwest or being shipped to Blucoat from another region, we can discuss the logistics of getting parts through the finishing process and ready for their next destination.
Data Center Component Finishing Without the Extra Production Burden
Outsourcing powder coating allows manufacturers and fabricators to focus their resources on what they do best: designing, fabricating, and producing components.
Instead of investing in additional finishing equipment, managing surface preparation, handling powder application, and maintaining a separate finishing operation, you can rely on Blucoat to handle this portion of the process.
