Coating metallic surfaces is one of the best ways of slowing the rate at which the surface corrodes. There is also the additional benefit of improving the look and feel of the item being coated. Nothing does both of these things better than a good nylon coat.
Resistance to damage
Nylon usually forms a hard metal coat around the metallic surface that it is coating. This shields the surface from moisture and oxygen, the two ingredients necessary for rust to form. Absent of moisture and oxygen thanks to a nylon coating, rust and metal corrosion will slow down drastically.
Given how thick most nylon coats are, this coat usually does more than simply provide anti-corrosion protection. The thickness of the coat enhances the overall strength of the metal. This, in turn, makes the metal more resistant to damage. This gives nylon an edge over other forms of coatings, something that has contributed to its rising popularity.
Range of shades and colors
Most metallic coats are limited in terms of the range of colors that they can provide. This makes it almost impossible for their use in circumstances where the part being coated either needs to stand out or blend with adjacent parts. Using alternatives to nylon coating in such circumstances usually means that you have to paint the surface, something that is costly both in terms of time and money. Add to this the rate at which most paints deteriorate, and you have an end-product that needs frequent maintenance.
The range of colors and shades that one can get from using nylon coating will save you from having to worry about painting. If you need to ensure that the part being coated blends with the overall design of a piece, all you have to do is choose a shade that meets your needs. The same applies in cases where the part being coated needs to stand out.
