Literally, every color of the rainbow and then some! All gloss ranges are available and textures abound. Think of the possibilities with patterns like wrinkles, textures, veined patterns, gators, metallics, weathered appearances, and even oxidized metals. A clear coat is also available.

The application process involves applying a charge to the dry powder particles and spraying them onto a grounded substrate. The substrate, or part, is typically grounded through the conveyor or hanger holding the part. The powder once attracted to the part, is then held on the surface until it is melted and cured into a smooth coating film in the bake oven. The spray process takes place inside a booth designed to contain the overspray powder and makes it possible to collect and reclaim it.

The powder is fed pneumatically out of the powder container, or hopper, into the powder applicator, or gun. As the powder exits the gun, a low amperage high voltage charge is applied to the powder particles, causing them to be attracted to the grounded workpiece. This attraction may even cause the powder to “wrap” around the piece coating the backside. The over-sprayed powder is suspended in the air contained inside the powder booth.

Powder coating is commonly used on metals such as steel, aluminum, brass, and copper, as they can withstand the high curing temperatures. Additionally, heat-resistant materials like certain plastics, glass, ceramics, and even wood or MDF (with low-temperature powders) can be powder coated. Proper surface preparation is essential to ensure the coating adheres well and provides a durable, long-lasting finish.

If your item is extremely rusted, it can still be powder coated, but proper preparation is crucial. The rust must be removed through processes like sandblasting to create a clean, smooth surface for the powder to adhere to. This ensures a durable and high-quality finish. If the rust has caused severe structural damage, repairs may be needed before coating.

Yes, powder coating helps prevent rust by creating a durable, protective barrier that shields the underlying metal from moisture, oxygen, and other elements that cause corrosion. When properly applied and maintained, powder coating significantly extends the lifespan of metal surfaces and enhances their resistance to rust.

Yes, we do our very best to color match for our customers if and when we are able to. If we are unable to find an exact match, we will do our best to find a suitable option.

Yes, powder coating is heat resistant to a certain extent, with most standard powders able to withstand temperatures up to 250°F to 300°F. For higher heat applications, specialized high-temperature powder coatings are available, capable of enduring temperatures up to 1,200°F, making them suitable for items like exhaust systems and engine components.

Projects get dropped off here at the warehouse and are inspected by staff. They are then cleaned and prepped for coating via sandblasting, burn-off or brush-blast methods. The item is then hung and entered into the powder coating booth – where the magic happens. Once painted, the item will cool down, removed from hooks, inspected by staff for quality insurance and packaged for pick up. Our office staff will provide the customer with their invoice which serves as a notice that the item is ready for pick up. The customer can pick up their newly finished item anytime between 8 am and 3 pm M-F.

Parts are prepared for powder coating through thorough cleaning and surface preparation to ensure proper adhesion. This process typically includes sandblasting to remove rust, old coatings, and contaminants, burn-off techniques to strip stubborn materials, and brushing to smooth the surface. These methods create a clean, even surface, ensuring a durable and long-lasting powder-coated finish.

Yes! The rims must be already removed from the tire. All other auto body parts must also be removed from the car prior to bringing it to our warehouse. We do not have the capability to remove items from cars.

Absolutely!

Powder coating can last for decades if properly maintained, with its longevity depending on the environment and exposure. Indoors, it can remain durable and vibrant for 15-20 years or more, as it’s protected from harsh elements. Outdoors, it typically lasts 5-10 years, depending on UV exposure, weather conditions, and the quality of the coating. Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend its lifespan in both settings.

The pricing of powder coating jobs depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the item, the type of material, the condition of the surface (e.g., rust or old coatings that require extra preparation), the type and color of powder used, and the quantity of items to be coated. Additional services like sandblasting or special finishes may also affect the cost. For an accurate estimate, it’s best to get a customized quote based on your specific project.
