What is powder coating? 

Powder coating is a durable, dry finishing process where electrostatically charged powder (polymer resins, pigments, etc.) is sprayed onto a surface (usually metal) and then cured with heat, melting the powder into a tough, protective, and decorative layer resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading, making it an eco-friendly alternative to liquid paint for items like car parts, furniture, and appliances. 

How long does powder coating last? 

Powder coating typically lasts 15-20 years, offering excellent durability against weather, chemicals, and corrosion, but lifespan varies based on application, environment, and prep quality. Outdoor items with proper UV-resistant coatings (like fluoropolymers) can last even longer (20+ years), while standard epoxies may fade faster, requiring re-coating when you see chipping, fading, or rust. 

How much does powder coating cost and is it worth it ? 

Powder coating costs vary widely from $25 for small parts to over $1,000 for large jobs like car frames, averaging around $75-$300 per item, with factors like size, prep, color, and complexity driving price. It's worth it for its superior durability, protection against rust, chip resistance, and aesthetic finish, often lasting much longer than paint, making it a cost-effective long-term solution for high-wear items like wheels, furniture, and automotive parts.
