Precision Stripping
Remove existing finishes, buildup, or worn coatings from metal components with controlled preparation that protects part geometry and supports clean recoating or inspection before the next production cycle.
Restore worn, coated, or production-critical metal parts with precise stripping, durable powder coating support, and performance-minded finishing guidance. Surface Solutions helps manufacturers improve part appearance, reduce maintenance workload, and prepare tools or components for longer service life through careful handling and coating-focused expertise. It is built for shops that need consistent, repeatable results without unnecessary process disruption.
Focused finishing support for stripped, coated, and performance-critical metal parts used in demanding production environments.
Remove existing finishes, buildup, or worn coatings from metal components with controlled preparation that protects part geometry and supports clean recoating or inspection before the next production cycle.
Support durable, uniform coated finishes for production parts that need improved appearance, surface protection, and reliable handling in demanding industrial environments.
Coordinate coating-focused guidance for tools and components where extended life, reduced buildup, lower lubricant use, or improved production output are primary goals.
The team reviews part material, existing coating condition, performance concerns, and production goals. This helps identify whether stripping, powder coating support, PVD-related guidance, or another coating path best fits the application.
Manufacturers count on Surface Solutions to improve tool life, reduce maintenance, and support reliable production output.
"Surface Solutions helped me with a small, but very significant project. They CrN coated some titanium pieces for me. They went above and beyond to make it amazing. Chet and Mike are pros and I would highly recommend their service."
"Nearly everything we resharpen gets sent out to Surface Solutions for coatings. I had one customer that wasn't using coatings and now that he's tried it, he wants everything coated. His tools are working better than new. It's like night and day . . ."
"The Alpha™ coating that was utilized last time for these small parts worked great. I was very pleased with the result as it greatly increased the part life. I was able to make 500 passes using the scratch testing equipment and saw no visible degradation of the coating under our..."
"Alpha cutters are amazing! And I hear AlTiN can only get better… Either way, we are going to ship you a huge set to get processed asap… Thank you so much! Kirk is thinking that these cutters just eliminated an entire process to the current one we have to do!!!..."
