Triple S offer a range of services to restore automotive parts and frames, these include Powder Coating, Ceramic Coating (also known as Ceracoat), Sand Blasting and Bead Blasting. We offer a variety of standard finishes and colours as well as bespoke premium colour matching options.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is the modern alternative to old-fashioned stove enamelling. A dry powder, electro statically charged and sprayed onto an earthed item (customers component). Due to the electric charge, the powder is attracted to the earthed component and wraps around the part giving an all over, even coat depth of paint. The coated component is then placed within an oven for a given length of time at a specific temperature to cure the paint leading to a superior glass like, gloss finish.
Triple S prides itself on the fact that over the years it has perfected its techniques and procedures to give you a perfect flat finish (no orange peel effect). We prepare the product to exacting surface finish standards by gently removing old paint, rust, varnish etc without damaging your precious part. The preparation like all jobs is the key to the finished result.
Prior to masking, parts are inspected for damage and cracks etc… at this stage minor damage will be corrected by welding (often free of charge) but heavy problem areas will be referred back to the customer for their input. Stripped captive nuts can at this stage be replaced but only if you tell us which ones.
Our knowledge of the parts and their function allows us to mask all area’s that should be paint-free. A correctly coated component is easy to assemble having no over spray and no paint where it should not be. Spray coating of the component is the next step and here again, Triple S uses only the best powders on the market to ensure the quality that you demand.
All finished parts are inspected prior to bubble-wrap packaging and despatch, to ensure our high quality standards are not compromised in any way. Whilst most of our work arrives via carrier & post, we do welcome personal calls from the customer.
Choose any colour you want from our standard range of non-metallic, metallic and candy colours, including fluorescents. Should you wish to have a specific colour matched outside our standard range this can be accommodated for a premium to cover one-off powder purchases.
You can specify colours from our suppliers’ charts. Just follow the links or download the standard RAL Colour Charts.

Ceramic Coatings
Similar to powder coating but ceramic coatings are ideal for heat critical components, such as manifolds, turbo chargers and exhaust systems.
These specialist coatings are not only heat resistant up to 1800°F, they can also reduce heat by up to 30%.
There are three types of Cerakote, all available in many colour variations.
Cerakote C Series
This is an Air Cured coating, formulated to withstand temperatures up to 1800°F.
It is a single component powder, ready to spray direct to substrate (no primer required) Over 50 colors available and has excellent UV stability.
This is an ideal option for large or small parts that cannot be oven cured. It also has extremely high chemical resistance.
Uses: Automotive, wheels, exhaust systems, firearms, architectural, lighting, hardware, optics and much more.
Cerakote H Series
This oven cured finish is the unrivaled leader in thin film protective coatings. Available in over 100 colors, its perfect for tight tolerance applications and typically eliminates the need for masking.
Its unique ceramic-polymer technology, imparts both flexibility, durability and excellent physical performance along with unmatched corrosion and chemical resistance.
Typical uses: Automotive, firearms, aerospace, knives, eye wear, consumer electronics, wearables, salt water applications and much more
Cerakote Elite Series
The highest performing thin film ceramic coatings on the market with unmatched abrasion, corrosion and chemical resistance.
It has a coefficient of friction, rivaling Teflon® and is perfect for tight tolerance applications and typically eliminates the need for masking.
Common uses: Automotive, firearms, aerospace, knives, eye wear, consumer electronics, wearables, industrial valves, oil & gas, salt water applications and much more…
