Prime Paint & E Coat Services

Located in Southfield Michigan, X-Cel's modern 110,000 square foot facility is a hallmark of flexibility and versatility.

X-Cel's computer controlled electro-coat, prime, and topcoat systems are designed to fulfill or surpass the requirements of today's quality-driven automotive industry.

Prime Coat

X-Cel's production coating operations are defined by robotic application of primer, base and clear coats. Our power and free conveyor directed by a powered logic control moves parts through pre-defined processes. Constant monitoring and communication by our professional staff during processing provides the ability to change colors or coatings quickly and efficiently for a quick turn around and delivery of our customer's parts. When these features are combined with the ability to control oven temperature for high-bake or low-bake materials, we have the flexibility and efficiency to fulfill a wide range of requirements. Our company-wide professionalism and dedication to our customers' needs continues to be evidenced by our ability and desire to process large parts, short runs, and even prototypes with the same high degree of care, quality, and efficiency.

As with any coating process, the key to good results is proper surface preparation. At X-Cel we take the time needed to assure that, regardless of the substrate, our technicians understand the requirements of our customers before the parts reach the primer booth. Rigorous cleanroom discipline in our paint environment, critical final inspection, and finesse assure a defect-free product. The result is that Class "A" surfaces will meet or exceed your appearance specifications, and with exceptional value.

E Coat

X-Cel Industries features a modern, 14 stage computer controlled electro-coat process designed for large parts at high volumes with excellent quality and consistency. Continuous monitoring by trained technicians of each stage of the system assures that our customers' quality demands for corrosion resistance are met or exceeded. X-Cel is dedicated to its own exacting standards through the implementation of robust and effective preventative maintenance routines and schedules at every stage of the electro-coat process: from surface preparation, zinc-phosphate immersion and electro-coat treatment of the part through its final cure. Minimal handling assures that the high quality appearance is preserved and delivered to your facility. The flexibility of our system, dedication and craftsmanship allows us to offer the processing low-production runs, and even prototypes with the same high degree of quality and care.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction has led many of our clients to allow us to move their parts from our electro-coating section to our prime-top coating section where the commitment to quality continues and advances the "one-stop shopping" concept.

Quality

"Continually Reduce Variation, Defects, and Waste to Ensure Customer Satisfaction"
