Too many companies cut corners with quick sprays or powder coats, leaving you with hidden weak spots and costly touchups down the line. At LJ Elevator, we refuse to settle. We use <strong>electrocoating<\/strong> (E-coat) on every elevator, giving you a flawless, lifelong finish that no other home elevator can match.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3<\/strong><strong>\u00a0painting methods<\/strong><\/h2><p>Before we dive in, let\u2019s meet the three most common ways to coat steel:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>E-Coat<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A water-based bath uses electricity to pull paint into every nook and edge.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Powder Coating<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Dry powder is sprayed on and baked, forming a thick, hard shell.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Traditional Spray Painting<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Wet paint is sprayed on, then dries and hardens with solvent evaporation.<\/li><\/ul><p>It\u2019s easy to think all paints are the same\u2014until rust starts, colors fade unevenly, or you discover raw metal at the corners.
