Precision Coatings

What Precision Coatings does

Precision Coatings Inc. is a privately held, Cleveland, Ohio-based custom applicator of thermal applied coatings, founded in 1981 and operating from a single facility at 3289 E. 80th St. The company applies protective and functional coatings to metal substrates (ferrous and non-ferrous) using four core technologies: electrostatic powder paint (1.5-5 MIL film builds, zero-VOC process), plastisol dip molding (liquid vinyl cured at 500-600°F with build thicknesses up to 1/4 inch), fluid bed vinyl (.007"-.020" PVC builds with electrical resistance of 600-1000 volts per MIL), and fluid bed nylon (harder cure, higher abrasion and impact resistance). Polyethylene coating is also offered. The company cites over 50 years of specialized experience in thermal applied coatings and operates two powder paint lines.

The company serves five distinct verticals: medical instruments and equipment (primary segment), food processing and service equipment, automotive and industrial parts, military/government equipment (per military specifications P-20689 and A-A-59464), and consumer products such as office and lawn furniture. Certain plastisol formulations adhere to FDA/NS regulations for food-contact applications. Revenue is generated through service fees for custom coating jobs, priced by part specification, coating type, and thickness; no public pricing exists, and customers must request quotes directly. The sales motion is entirely direct (phone and website contact form), with the company emphasizing individualized personal contact.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-customer; there are no resellers, distributors, marketplace listings, or digital marketing channels beyond a static informational website with dedicated pages for each coating type. The company markets itself primarily on process depth, regulatory certifications, and customization (stock or custom color matching, gloss or dull finishes). With 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, no institutional or PE ownership, and no M&A or partnership history, Precision Coatings operates as an independent, owner-operated industrial job shop serving primarily the U.S. Midwest from a single facility.

Core offering

Precision Coatings Inc. is a custom applicator of thermal applied coatings for metal parts and products, operating from a single facility in Cleveland, Ohio. The company applies four distinct coating technologies — powder paint (electrostatic), plastisol dip molding, fluid bed vinyl, and fluid bed nylon — for manufacturers across medical, food processing, automotive, military, and consumer products industries. Service is delivered per-customer based on submitted metal parts and specified coating requirements.

Product overview

Precision Coatings is a custom applicator of thermal applied coatings offering four distinct coating services: Powder Paint (electrostatic coating for ferrous and non-ferrous metals), Plastisol/Dip Molding (liquid vinyl coating for thick builds up to 1/4"), Fluid Bed Vinyl (PVC powder coating for thin builds .007"-.020"), and Fluid Bed Nylon (nylon powder coating with superior hardness and abrasion resistance). The company operates over 50 years of experience with two powder paint lines and serves industrial and consumer markets including medical equipment, automotive, food processing, and military applications.

Products and services

• Powder Paint Coating Service Electrostatic powder paint coating service that applies negatively charged powder to grounded metal parts (ferrous or non-ferrous), offering film builds of 1.5 to 5 MILS. No VOCs and provides durable, chemical-resistant, UV-resistant, decorative finishes for automotive parts, motorcycle parts, food processing equipment, office furniture, lawn furniture, and toolboxes.
• Plastisol/Dip Molding Coating Service Liquid vinyl coating service using heat application where parts are preheated and dipped into a plastisol tank, then cured in an oven at 500-600°F. Enables build thicknesses up to 1/4 inch with noise reduction, corrosion protection, sharp edge coverage, thermal/electrical insulation, non-slip surface, and impact/wear resistance properties. Used for tool handles, clips, medical instruments, plating racks, exercise equipment, playground equipment, material handling baskets, and military equipment.
• Fluid Bed Vinyl Coating Service Vinyl dip coating service providing thinner PVC builds (typical thicknesses .007" to .020") than liquid plastisol, with excellent electrical resistance (600-1000 volts per MIL), corrosion resistance, noise reducing characteristics, and UV resistance. Applied to dishwasher racks, lamp guards, wire shelving, medical equipment, and food handling equipment.
• Fluid Bed Nylon Coating Service Nylon powder coating service offering harder cure than vinyl with greater resistance to impact, abrasion, corrosion, and solvents, and with similar build thicknesses to vinyl. Excellent for friction-reducing applications. Applied to material handling baskets, wire goods, automotive parts, and medical equipment.
