AAMA PROJECTS
Specializing in AAMA Powder Coating Projects Across Industries
Winona Powder Coating is an AAMA certified applicator, with proven expertise applying AAMA 2603, 2604, and 2605 architectural coatings to aluminum storefronts, curtain walls, and building components.
However, AAMA-grade performance isn't limited to buildings. Plenty of non-architectural products face the same UV exposure, weathering, and long-term appearance demands these specifications were built to solve.
When your project calls for coatings with an extended level of tested and proven durability, Winona's status as an AAMA certified applicator is an asset to any industry.
Why AAMA Certification Matters Outside Architecture
AAMA 2603, 2604, and 2605 coatings undergo years of Florida outdoor exposure testing plus thousands of hours of humidity and salt-spray testing, giving them proven resistance to fading, chalking, and gloss loss.
Most powder manufacturers require the coating to be applied by a certified applicator before they'll extend the manufacturer's warranty, so choosing an uncertified shop can mean losing warranty coverage even when the same powder product is used. Winona's certification is verified through recurring line audits and process reviews, giving you documented proof that your project's coating meets spec.

AAMA Applications Beyond the Built Environment
Plenty of products outside traditional architecture need the same weatherability and color retention AAMA specs guarantee: outdoor site furnishings, signage and wayfinding structures, transit shelters and rail components, playground and recreational equipment, and outdoor industrial or agricultural equipment exposed to years of sun and moisture.
If your product needs to hold its color and finish outdoors for a decade or more, an AAMA-spec coating applied by a certified shop gives you a tested, warrantied path to get there, even if the part never touches a building.
The Winona Advantage for AAMA Projects:
- Tiered performance options: We apply any of the three specifications (AAMA 2603 for moderate or interior exposure, 2604 for exterior commercial use, and 2605 for coastal or severe-weather environments) so you only pay for the performance tier your project actually needs.
- Audited quality control: Our certification requires ongoing line audits and process verification, giving you assurance that pretreatment, coverage, and cure meet spec on every run.
- One team, full capability: The same finishing team behind our architectural aluminum work applies that expertise to signage, site furnishings, transit components, and other AAMA-spec projects, so you're not managing separate vendors for similar performance requirements.
