What We Do
Mikon offers full Spray Painting and Powder Coating Services
MIKON has a 3 stage iron phosphate wash system with final halo rinse.
- a high temperature wash
- a rinse to remove oils and dirt from manufacturing and handling.
- The 3rd stage treats the part with a phosphate solution or halo rinse of deionized water rinse to remove mineral deposits and wash streaks.
At times per our customers request we hand sand and grind parts to remove breaks and smooth out welds prior to painting or powder coating.
Mikon's paint operations offer many options and types of paint. Wet paint is the traditional method of coating an item with a liquid paint, This method can be used on a range of material such as plastic, metal, and wood. Color matching is much easier with wet paint and is more economical and quicker. The types of painting Mikon offers vary according to the customers needs.

POWDER COATING is applied when electrostaticly charged paint is sprayed onto a metal part. The paint adheres to the part and is then moved to the oven. The part will travel at a specified time and temperature which is noted for each paint. The powder when heated first becomes fluid, then hardens for a very durable finish.
