New Zealand is tough on outdoor furniture. High UV levels, coastal salt air, and regular rainfall mean standard paint starts fading, chipping, and peeling within a season or two. Powder coating is a fundamentally different solution — a thick, hard finish that bonds directly to the metal and resists the conditions that destroy paint.
At Coating Lab in Onehunga, we powder coat outdoor furniture for Auckland homeowners, businesses, and landscapers. Whether you want to restore faded outdoor chairs to their original finish, or protect a new steel table before it ever sees the weather, we have you covered.

Restoring Faded or Chipped Furniture
Outdoor furniture that has faded, chipped, or rusted doesn't have to be replaced. Restoration through powder coating is a cost-effective way to bring it back to life. Our process:
- Strip old coatings: We sandblast the item back to bare metal, removing all old paint, rust, and surface contaminants
- Inspect and prep: Any structural repairs or welding can be discussed at this stage We can carry out minor weld repairs during the prep stage — just let us know what's needed.
- Pretreatment: Chemical treatment ensures the new powder coat bonds properly
- Powder application: Your chosen colour is electrostatically applied for even coverage
- Curing: Baked in our oven at 180–200°C to create a hard, durable finish
- Quality check: Inspected for consistent coverage before collection or delivery
Why Powder Coating Outperforms Paint Outdoors
- UV stability: Quality powder coats resist fading under New Zealand's high UV index far better than wet paint
- Salt air resistance: Critical for Auckland properties near the coast or harbour
- Hard surface: Resists scratches, chips, and impact from outdoor use
- No brush marks or runs: Electrostatic application gives a smooth, even finish across complex shapes
- Environmentally responsible: No solvents or VOC emissions during application
