In addition to Gardner Manufacturing’s iron and zinc phosphate surface treatment capabilities, we also offer powder coating technology. Each Gardner product can be painted inside and out to give our products extra corrosion and chip resistance and longer life. Silk screening and custom color mixing is available, in addition to our vast array of in-stock colors for jobs requiring a quick turnaround.

From air-dried permanent lacquers to oven-baked enamels, Gardner offers paint finishes that offer consumer appeal and help extend product life.
