Colouring sheet/folded metal

Folks,

I am working with a client company who currently buy in a folded enclosed sheet metal panel that is foam filled for insulation purposes. The company buys the panels coloured and has limited colour options on the metal and would therefore like to buy the panel uncoloured and colour themselves to any colour/shade/RAL number.

The problem the company has is that if it tries to powder coat the panels, the heat generated during powder coating melts the foam. We are investigating to see if the supplier can supply said panel with a higher melt temperature foam.

I would however welcome alternative suggested solutions to the problem preferably solutions that do not include spray/painting as the panels are large and the company isn't set up for it.

Thanks in advance.

Kieran
