powder coat

Sprayed cured finish

Powder coat is a finish applied as dry powder then baked to form a hard, durable surface.

Unlike liquid paint, powder coating uses electrostatic charge to adhere pigmented particles to metal before heat-curing them into a smooth coating.

The verb means to apply this finish: We had the patio furniture powder coated.

Common on automotive parts, appliances, and outdoor equipment.
