Your lockers, doors, railings and machinery stay where they are. Industry Painting Ltd. refinishes them on site with electrostatic spray painting, most often after hours, so your staff, tenants and production lines keep moving.
We serve industrial plants, warehouses, offices and multi-residential buildings across Toronto, the GTA and Southern Ontario.
Industry Painting Ltd. provides electrostatic spray painting in Toronto and the GTA for metal lockers, doors, elevator doors, railings and machinery. Charged paint wraps around each item, giving even coverage with less overspray. We refinish fixtures in place, often after hours, and many coatings dry overnight, so facilities reopen the next day. The method suits conductive metal only, not wood, drywall or concrete.
A bank of dented, faded lockers makes a change room or school hallway look neglected. We refinish steel lockers in place, doors, frames, vents and all, and return them in a new colour or the original.
Scuffed steel doors and elevator doors are the first thing visitors touch. We refinish them without removal. The crew masks glass, hardware and walls, then works through a floor or lobby overnight.
Tubular railings and picket fencing eat time with a brush. The electrostatic wrap effect coats all sides from one position, including the back of each bar.
Machine housings, guards and equipment frames get repainted on the plant floor, with no rigging or shipping. For chemical contact or heavy wear, we specify an industrial epoxy or urethane coating.
Filing cabinets, metal desks, partitions and display fixtures come back to a uniform finish, which suits office refreshes and showroom updates.
Downtime is the real cost of any maintenance job here. We work around shifts, weekends and planned shutdowns, and our safety training covers work at heights and confined spaces.
A smooth, even coat leaves fewer rough spots for residue to settle in, which helps in areas that need regular wiping. We schedule by zone so production areas stay open.
Worn doors, elevator panels and railings shape a visitor’s first impression before anyone says hello. We refinish after hours, so your team returns to a finished space the next morning.
Property managers use electrostatic painting for lobby doors, elevator doors, stairwell railings and suite entry frames. The work happens in place, with residents still living in the building.
| Factor | Refinish with electrostatic painting | Replace the fixture |
|---|---|---|
| Disruption | Work on site, often overnight | Tear out, delivery and install |
| Lead time | Starts once the schedule is set | Depends on manufacturer ordering |
| Existing fixtures | Kept in place | Removed and disposed of |
| Colour options | New colour or original finish | Limited to available stock |
Most steel lockers, doors and frames are structurally sound under a worn finish. When they are, refinishing is the faster route.

| Removal needed | No | No | Yes |
| Overspray | Low | High | Contained in booth |
| Coverage on railings and grilles | Wraps around all sides | Needs several passes | Even |
| Best for | Installed metal fixtures | Large flat surfaces | New or removable parts |
One more thing we tell every client. Electrostatic painting works only on conductive metal. If your job includes drywall, concrete or wood, we’ll say so up front and quote the right method for those surfaces.
A scratch through to bare steel is the start of rust. Leave it through a winter of salt and moisture, and a refinishing job turns into replacement.
Worn fixtures also cost you in ways a budget line won’t show. Tenants, clients and inspectors all notice chipped railings and faded doors.
We provide electrostatic painting in Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Kitchener and Waterloo.
Industry Painting specializes in techniques and services that protect the facilities of our industrial and commercial clients. We offer electrostatic spray-painter contractor operations to increase the durability and longevity of our clients’ metal surfaces.
Electrostatic spray painting is a special painting method that uses an electric charge to help paint stick to a surface. The paint is given an electric charge, and the object being painted is grounded (given an opposite charge). This causes the paint to be pulled to the surface like a magnet, creating a smooth, even coat with minimal overspray or waste. In other words, the paint only goes where it’s supposed to, resulting in a neat finish without much mess.
Electrostatic painting works by charging the paint particles and grounding the item you want to paint. When the charged paint leaves the spray gun, it’s attracted straight to the oppositely charged surface (much like static cling). The paint even “wraps around” curves and edges, coating them completely. Thanks to this effect, the paint covers the object evenly from all sides, and there’s virtually no overspray, making the process very efficient and clean.
Electrostatic painting offers several benefits over regular painting. It dramatically reduces wasted paint, as up to 90–98% of the spray ends up on the surface rather than in the air. This means minimal overspray and a cleaner work area. The paint coats very evenly, giving a smooth, factory-like finish without drips or patches. The process is also efficient – painters can finish jobs faster and use less paint, thereby lowering overall costs over time. In short, you get a high-quality result with less mess and often save on paint and labour.
Electrostatic painting is most commonly used on metal surfaces (such as steel lockers, appliances, or machinery) because metal readily conducts the required charge. However, with the proper preparation, you can electrostatically paint almost any object. For example, wood or plastic, which don’t conduct electricity, can still be painted using this method by applying a special conductive primer or by positioning a grounded metal behind the object. In practice, this technique is mainly chosen for metal items, but it’s good to know it can work on other materials if correctly set up.
No – electrostatic painting and powder coating are related but different processes. Electrostatic painting uses liquid paint sprayed onto the object, which sticks due to an electrical charge; it then dries in the air like regular paint. It’s excellent for on-site projects or touching up items that can’t be moved to a shop. Powder coating, on the other hand, uses a dry powder that is applied electrostatically and then baked in an oven to form a hard finish. Powder coating is usually done in a factory setting (for example, painting car parts or metal furniture in an oven). Both methods use electrostatic charge to attract the coating. Still, electrostatic spray painting is more convenient for jobs where you paint items in place (like repainting metal railings or fixtures on-site). In contrast, powder coating is a different technique that requires specialized facilities.
Electrostatic painting can cost slightly more than ordinary painting because it requires specialized equipment and skilled painters. However, it often ends up cost-effective because it wastes less paint and gets projects done faster. The exact price depends on the job size and complexity – for instance, painting a small metal item will cost far less than a large industrial piece. Many professional painting companies offer electrostatic painting services, and their rates may be slightly higher per hour than for regular painting, but you may save money overall because the process is so efficient. Essentially, you pay a bit more up front for the service, but you get a high-quality finish with less paint used and quicker completion, which can be worth it for many projects.
Electrostatic painting is commonly used for metal surfaces such as railings, lockers, machinery, doors, and industrial equipment. It is widely used in commercial, industrial, and institutional environments where durability and clean finishes are required.
Electrostatic painting can last for several years due to its strong adhesion and even coating. Its durability depends on surface preparation and environmental exposure, but it typically offers excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and chemicals.
Yes, electrostatic painting is safe for indoor applications when proper ventilation and safety measures are in place. Its low overspray makes it cleaner than traditional spray methods.
Yes. We paint every fixture in place and mask the surrounding walls, floors, glass and hardware.
Powder coating is usually harder, but it needs an oven, so parts have to go to a shop. Electrostatic spray painting is the practical choice for installed fixtures like lockers, railings and elevator doors.
Yes, if the old paint is sound. We clean, scuff-sand, and repair it first. Peeling or rusted finishes need to be removed before painting.
