Gleco Paint & Powder Coating runs powder, liquid, MIL-spec and Cerakote finishing out of Rowlett, about 20 miles northeast of downtown Dallas. We are an AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registered, ITAR registered shop — which is not the norm among coating shops serving this market, and it is usually the reason a Dallas buyer calls us rather than the shop down the street.
Request a Quote(972) 475-2726Dallas carries a deep defense electronics and equipment base. CARC topcoats to MIL-DTL-53039 and MIL-DTL-64159 over MIL-DTL-53022 or 53030 primer, applied per MIL-DTL-53072, with near-infrared reflectance controlled the way the specification requires.
Structural weldments, frames, skids and enclosures. Blast to SSPC-SP 6 or SP 10, phosphate or chrome-free pretreatment, then a powder or liquid system matched to the exposure.
Repeat production with a color standard held lot to lot, film build documented, and a certificate of conformance with every shipment. The kind of work where the second order has to look like the first.
Chassis, racks and panels with RoHS-compliant systems, silk screened legends and masked grounding points. Masking called out on the print, not left to us to guess.
About 20 miles from downtown Dallas — 25 to 35 minutes up I-30, outside rush hour.
Most Dallas customers drive parts out themselves — it is a straight run up I-30 and the receiving dock is on Grisham Drive. We also work with the freight carriers that already run this corridor daily. Standard turnaround is three weeks from receipt of complete material and a complete purchase order; expedite is quoted against available capacity rather than promised blind.
The aerospace quality standard, third-party registered and audited on a surveillance cycle — not a claim, a certificate you can download.
Controlled technical data handled under access control, so a defense prime can release work without a flow-down exception.
Three processes under one roof, so the recommendation is driven by your part rather than by the only line we own.
Gleco Paint & Powder is the coatings division of Gleco Plating — one purchase order, one traceability chain, one certificate of conformance.
About 20 miles northeast, in Rowlett. Figure 25 to 35 minutes on I-30 outside of rush hour. We are open Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:00pm, and the dock is at 5020 Grisham Drive.
Yes. CARC is a core process for us — MIL-DTL-53039 solvent-based and MIL-DTL-64159 water-dispersible topcoats, applied over the specified primer per MIL-DTL-53072, with the batch validation and near-infrared requirements the spec calls for. We are ITAR registered and DFARS compliant, and we handle controlled technical data under access control.
Yes, and that is unusual. Gleco Paint & Powder is the coatings division of Gleco Plating, so plating, anodizing, passivation and coating happen inside one company — one purchase order, one traceability chain, one certificate of conformance, and nobody pointing at another vendor if a finish fails.
Send us the envelope and we will tell you straight. Oven capacity is the binding constraint on powder; for anything past it we have liquid systems that cure at ambient or force-dry at low temperature, which is how oversized weldments get handled.
Talk to us about volume and cadence. For repeat production on a regular schedule it is usually workable; for one-off jobs most Dallas customers find the drive faster than scheduling a pickup.
Five questions about substrate, heat limit, service environment and priority, and you get a recommended finish plus the specification language for your drawing.
Eighteen things worth knowing before your part reaches a coating line — film build and dimensions, cure temperature and temper, masking, prep.
Wet paint, powder and Cerakote side by side, including an honest note on when each one is the wrong answer.
Send the drawing, the specification and the service environment. We will tell you what we would run and why — including when the answer is something we do not do.
