From powder coat booths and e-coat tanks to complete wet spray lines, South State Contractors designs, builds, and commissions industrial paint finishing systems that deliver consistent, high-quality results at production scale.
South State Contractors has been installing industrial paint finishing systems since 1990. We handle every phase of the project, from initial layout and process engineering through mechanical installation, electrical integration, and final commissioning. Our teams work with all major equipment manufacturers and can install, relocate, or retrofit any type of finishing system.
Our paint finishing expertise spans powder coat, e-coat (electrodeposition), liquid wet spray, and multi-stage pre-treatment systems. Whether you are building a new greenfield facility or upgrading an existing line, we bring the field experience and technical knowledge to get your system running on schedule and within specification. Every installation is backed by our 24/7 emergency service commitment.
We serve operations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with a workforce that scales to meet the demands of projects ranging from single-booth installations to full plant finishing lines running multiple shifts.
We install and service every component of a modern industrial paint finishing operation, from chemical pre-treatment through final cure.
Complete powder coating line installation including automatic and manual spray booths, reclaim systems, color change modules, and booth-integrated filtration. We work with all major booth manufacturers and configure systems for single-color or rapid multi-color operations.
Electrodeposition coating system installation including dip tanks, ultrafilter systems, anode and membrane assemblies, permeate loops, and temperature control equipment. Our crews have installed cathodic and anodic e-coat systems for automotive OEM and Tier 1 suppliers.
Liquid paint spray booth and application system installation for waterborne, solvent-based, and high-solids coatings. We install downdraft, crossdraft, and semi-downdraft booths with integrated air makeup units, exhaust systems, and robotic or reciprocating applicators.
Multi-stage washer and chemical pre-treatment system installation including spray, immersion, and combination designs. We install iron phosphate, zinc phosphate, zirconium, and nanoceramic pre-treatment stages with integrated heating, filtration, and chemical feed systems.
Batch and conveyorized cure oven installation for powder coat, e-coat, and liquid paint applications. We install gas-fired, electric, and infrared ovens with precision temperature zoning, energy-efficient insulation, and integrated exhaust and air recirculation systems.
Paint storage, mixing, and distribution room installation including bulk storage tanks, agitation systems, circulation pumps, supply and return piping, solvent recovery, and ventilation systems designed to meet NFPA and local fire code requirements.
Every paint finishing installation follows a proven four-phase process that keeps your project on schedule and ensures your system meets production requirements from day one.
We evaluate your facility, production targets, and coating specifications to develop a project scope that meets your operational and budget requirements.
Our team produces detailed installation drawings, utility requirement documents, and equipment placement plans coordinated with your equipment vendors and facility engineering group.
Experienced crews handle all mechanical erection, piping, electrical, and equipment rigging. We manage the installation schedule to minimize disruption to existing production.
We start up every system component, verify performance against project specifications, and train your operators and maintenance team before handing off a fully operational finishing line.
Whether you need a turnkey finishing system, component installation, system audit, or emergency maintenance, our team is ready to deliver.
