Anything metal is fair game. Aluminum and steel are the most common surfaces for powder coating.
Yes, as long as they are metal. We specialize in restoration but urge you to do your research first before coating any valuable antiques to see how their value may be affected.
Yes. Choose as many colors as you'd like. If you need ten different parts coated ten different colors, we can do it.
We have over 6,000 shades and hues available.
We have the largest oven (8ft. x 8ft. x 22ft.) in Monterey County. While there are maximum size restrictions, there is no part too small for us to coat.
It depends on several factors, including the type of finish, the surface you're having coated and the purpose of the part.
It's not uncommon for some finishes to last for years, provided they're not abused or subjected to extreme conditions.
It depends. No finishing technique is completely impervious to the elements. Unlike solvent-based paint, which can leave microscopic pinholes, powder coating features "cross-linked" materials that provide a waterproof finish.
That depends on the size of the job. A week is average, but we'll always give you our honest assessment based on our current workload. We generally don't do rush jobs since our emphasis is on long-lasting quality, not speed.
Unlike other metal-finishing techniques that depend on chemicals and solvents, powder coating uses electrically charged, finely ground pigments and resins that adhere to your part's surface.
That part is then heated in a curing oven, which bonds the powder to its grounded surface. This produces a smooth, even finish. You'll be left with a beautiful, uniform coating that looks like paint, but acts like armor.
