To quote an exact price, you must know that the customer need pvc coated finished or powder coated. While, these two concepts make no  different to Foreign customers. They usually can not decribe powder coated and pvc coated very clearly. But as a sales, you must have clear concept or you will quote a  wrong price and make a high price .so how can we  differentiate these two concepts?

Firstly, you can distinguish them from the thickness and superfical. From the cover of thickness, powder coated is as usual from 60microns-160microns, while pvc coated can be 0.5-1mm. From the superficial, powder coated looks nice and feels smooth, while pvc coated, you can see some uneven and feel rough. But since the thickness of pvc coating is thicker than power coated, so it will give fence longer-term service than powder coated.

Secondly, you should learn the market. As usual, customers need panel pvc coated with electro galvanized and powder coated with hot dipped galvanized, because  they can be the same anti-corrosion. While posts, customers usually prefer hot dipped galvanized and powder coated, because for this so big section, pvc coated looks very ugly and awkward.

At last, you should learn to classify the terms of foreign customers. When customer said powder coated, polyester coated, powder painted, as usualy these expresstions mean powder coated. When customer said pvc coated, plastic coated, that mean pvc coated.

Using these tips when you are contacting a customer,  you will benefit a lot from it.
