A Full-Service Finishing Partner Right Here in North Texas

Powder Coating, Sandblasting, Burn-Off Stripping, & Metal Finishing, All Under One Roof

When you need parts coated, blasted, or stripped back to bare metal and returned on schedule, you want a finishing shop that treats your production timeline like its own. Crosslink South has run its finishing operation out of Cedar Hill for more than two decades, serving manufacturers, fabricators, and contractors across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the wider North Texas market.

We handle the full finishing process under one roof: industrial powder coating, sandblasting and surface prep, thermal burn-off stripping for removing old coatings and reclaiming racks and fixtures, high-temperature coatings, and complete metal finishing for fabricated and architectural parts. Whether you are sending a production run of brackets or a single architectural piece, the same crew and the same standards apply to every job.

As a full-service product finishing operation, we keep your project moving from the first inspection through the final cure, so you are not chasing three vendors to get one part out the door. And because we are right here in North Texas, getting a straight answer on your job is a phone call to the shop floor, not a ticket in a queue.

Experience You Can See in the Finish

Industrial-Scale Capability and Hands-On Texas Expertise

Crosslink South operates a 20,000-square-foot facility staffed by people who have spent more than two decades around ovens, blast media, and coating guns. That experience shows up where it counts: even coverage, clean edges, and finishes built to hold up to the weather and wear they will actually face out in the field.

Our equipment is set up for real industrial volume. We run large-capacity curing ovens, abrasive blasting systems, and a dedicated burn-off oven for thermal stripping. That combination lets us take a part from bare metal or a previously coated state all the way to a finished product without ever shipping it elsewhere. We coat and finish steel, aluminum, and a wide range of fabricated and architectural parts.

Quality control is built into every step here, not bolted on at the end. We inspect incoming parts, prep every surface properly so coatings actually bond, and check the finish before anything leaves our dock. We also keep a wide range of colors on hand and will do our best to match a spec when a job calls for it, which matters when your finish has to line up with parts coated elsewhere. And because we are a local Texas operation, the people you talk to are the same people doing the work on your part. Customer service is a team sport.

Our Powder Coating & Finishing Services

Options to Fit Your Needs

Have parts that need finishing? Call (972) 299-9911 or request a quote, and we will help you map the right process for your run. Here is what our team handles day in and day out, all in one shop.

Industrial & Architectural Powder Coating

Powder coating gives metal a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that lasts far longer than standard liquid paint in most environments. Our industrial powder coating services cover everything from heavy equipment and structural steel to railings, fencing, and detailed architectural metalwork. We offer a wide range of custom color applications, so you can match a spec sheet, a brand standard, or a design vision (take a look at our color guide for the full range of options).

Sandblasting & Surface Preparation

A finish is only ever as good as the surface underneath it. Our sandblasting services in DFW strip away rust, old paint, mill scale, and contaminants, then profile the surface so the new coating bonds tightly and stays put. Proper abrasive blasting is the difference between a coating that lasts for years and one that starts to flake early, which is exactly why we treat surface prep as its own craft rather than an afterthought.

Thermal Burn-Off Stripping

Thermal burn-off stripping uses controlled heat, not harsh chemicals, to remove old powder, paint, and production buildup from metal. It is a specific-use process rather than a step every part goes through, so we evaluate each piece first. The parts suited to it are heavier steel components and fixtures that hold up to oven heat without distortion, and it takes them back to clean bare metal without the mess or runoff of chemical stripping. For many customers it is a service in its own right: we reclaim coating racks, hooks, and line fixtures, and handle standalone stripping of previously coated parts.

High-Temperature Coatings

Some parts spend their working life in serious heat. We apply heat-resistant, high-temperature ceramic and powder coatings for industrial thermal protection and for OEM and aftermarket exhaust components, headers, manifolds, and heat shields. Several of our high-temperature powders are formulated to hold up outdoors, and they keep their color and protection in conditions where a standard coating would break down.

Product Finishing Solutions

For customers who want the entire job handled, our product finishing service ties everything together. It covers the full metal finishing lifecycle: pre-treatment, surface prep, coating application, curing, and final finishing. One shop, one point of contact, and one consistent standard from the moment your parts arrive to the moment they ship back out.

Industries We Serve Across North Texas

The Commercial and Industrial Work We Take On

Our finishing work shows up on production lines, job sites, and shop floors across North Texas. The customers we serve most often:

Metal fabrication shops. Production runs and one-off fabricated parts that need a consistent, repeatable finish. We are set up to keep the hundredth part looking like the first.
OEM and equipment manufacturers. Components and assemblies that ship under your name and have to meet spec every time. We hold finish quality across volume so your product leaves ready to install.
Architectural metal fabricators. Gates, railings, storefronts, and ornamental work where appearance carries the job as much as durability. Color and finish quality are the deliverable here.
Fence and gate manufacturers. Panels, posts, and hardware coated for long outdoor life, with the color consistency a production line depends on.
Industrial and construction contractors. Structural steel, beams, frames, and heavy components that need long-term corrosion protection through years of exposure and load.
Oil, gas, and energy equipment. Heavy-duty parts built to survive harsh field conditions and constant wear, where protection comes first.
Agricultural equipment. Implements and machinery that live outdoors season after season, coated to stand up to sun, moisture, and soil.

From large production runs to architectural pieces and single fabricated parts, we handle a wide mix of materials and finishes, and we coat steel and aluminum for fabricators, manufacturers, and contractors across the region. If you are running something similar to a job we have done, ask, and we will walk you through materials, finish options, and what to expect.

How We Get the Job Done

Our Powder Coating Process, Step by Step

Every job moves through the same proven steps, which is how we keep results consistent from one part to the next:

Inspection & evaluation. We assess the part, the material, and the finish you need, then map out the right process before any work begins.
Sandblasting & surface prep. We blast the surface clean and profile it so the coating has something to grip.
Thermal burn-off stripping when suitable. If a part carries an old finish and the material is a fit for oven heat, we strip it thermally in the burn-off oven. Otherwise we prep it by blasting. We match the method to the part.
Powder coating application. We apply your chosen powder and color with even, fully controlled coverage.
Curing. The part cures in our ovens, where heat bonds the powder into a hard, uniform finish.
Final quality inspection. We check coverage, color, and finish quality before the part heads back to you.

Quality Craftsmanship that Sets Us Apart

Turnaround that respects your deadline. A finished part is often the last step before a project ships, so we work hard to keep you on schedule.

Metal Finishing Services FAQs

Answers to Your Common Questions

What is a powder coating company?Chad Markham2026-08-05T16:48:23+00:00

What is a powder coating company?

A powder coating company applies a dry, powdered finish to metal parts and cures it with heat to create a hard, durable coating. A full-service shop like Crosslink South also handles the related steps, such as sandblasting, burn-off stripping, and metal finishing, so your part can be prepped, coated, and finished all in one place.

What is powder coating, and how does it work?Chad Markham2026-08-05T16:48:54+00:00

What is powder coating, and how does it work?

Powder coating is a finishing process in which finely ground powder is applied to a part, usually via electrostatic spray, then cured in an oven. The heat melts and bonds the powder into a smooth, even layer that is tougher and more corrosion-resistant than most liquid paints.

What is sandblasting used for?Chad Markham2026-08-05T16:49:45+00:00

What is sandblasting used for?

Sandblasting, also called abrasive blasting, cleans and prepares a surface before coating. It removes rust, old paint, and contaminants and creates a profile that helps the new finish adhere. Good blasting is one of the biggest factors in how long a coating actually lasts.

What is thermal burn-off stripping?Chad Markham2026-08-05T16:50:23+00:00

What is thermal burn-off stripping?

Thermal burn-off stripping uses controlled heat to remove old powder, paint, and coatings from metal parts and fixtures. It is a clean alternative to chemical strippers, and it is the standard way to reclaim coating racks and hooks or to take previously coated parts back to bare metal before a fresh finish.
