At Salt Lake Railing, we take pride in providing not only beautiful and safe custom railings, but finishes that are built to endure Utah’s harshest weather conditions. That’s why we exclusively use PPG automotive paint—a superior choice to traditional powder coating for residential and commercial railing systems.
What Is PPG Automotive Paint?
PPG is a global leader in high-performance coatings. Their automotive-grade paint is engineered for durability, UV protection, and long-lasting color retention—even under the intense sun, snow, and seasonal changes we experience in Salt Lake County.
Powder Coating: The Traditional Standard
Powder coating has long been a popular finish for railings. It offers a thick, protective layer and can be cost-effective. However, it comes with several drawbacks:
Chalks and fades quickly under UV exposure
Prone to chipping and cracking from impact or temperature swings
Limited touch-up options if damage occurs
Requires costly batch processing and oven curing
Why We Use PPG Paint Instead
Here’s why PPG automotive paint stands out for railing applications:
1. Superior Weather Resistance
PPG coatings are designed to endure the same stress as car exteriors. That means your railing will resist:
Fading
Peeling
Rust
Chipping
Even during long Utah winters or intense summer heat.
2. Flexible and Impact-Resistant
Unlike brittle powder coating, PPG paint flexes with the metal. This prevents cracking and ensures a smooth, seamless finish for years to come.
3. Easier Touch-Ups and Maintenance
If a section gets scratched or damaged, our team can easily touch up or repaint it without stripping the entire railing. Powder coating? Not so easy.
4. Brilliant Color Selection
PPG automotive paint offers a wide spectrum of custom colors, metallics, and gloss levels, giving you more design freedom for your balcony, staircase, deck, or fence railing.
5. Environmentally Conscious
We use low-VOC, eco-friendly formulations that meet modern environmental standards, without sacrificing durability.
