Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our process, pricing, turnaround times, and what to expect when you bring your parts in.

Pricing & Quotes

Pricing depends on the size of the part, the finish selected, and the condition it arrives in.

The best way to get an accurate number is to bring your parts in, give us a call or text to 813-326-3022 — we can usually give you an estimate on the spot.

Media blasting is included in our pricing — it's part of the process, not an add-on. We blast every part before coating, no exceptions. That's what makes the finish last.

Yes — call or text us at 813-326-3022 and describe what you've got. For standard items like wheels or calipers we can usually give you a ballpark right away. For larger or more complex jobs, bringing the parts in is the most accurate way to get a firm number.

The Process

Powder coating is a dry finishing process where electrostatically charged powder is applied to a metal part and then cured in an oven at high heat. The result is a finish that's significantly harder, more durable, and more resistant to chipping, scratching, and corrosion than conventional liquid paint.

Powder coat needs bare, clean metal to bond properly. Any rust, old paint, chrome, or contamination left on the surface will cause the coating to fail — bubbling, peeling, or flaking down the road.

Media blasting strips everything down to raw metal and creates a slightly rough surface profile that gives the powder something to grip. It's the most important step in the process and we don't skip it.

Yes — significantly. Powder coat is typically 2–3x thicker than conventional paint and far more resistant to chips, scratches, UV fading, and chemical exposure. On wheels and undercarriage parts especially, it holds up to road conditions that would destroy a painted finish in a season.

Prep & Drop-Off

No. Bring them in as-is. We handle all the prep — media blasting, cleaning, and surface preparation are all part of our process. You don't need to strip old paint, remove rust, or do anything special beforehand.

Yes — we need bare wheels to blast and coat them properly. If your tires are still mounted, we can dismount them here as part of the job. We also handle remounting and balancing when the coating is done, so you can drop off a complete wheel and tire assembly and pick it up ready to bolt on.

Yes. Our media blasting process removes chrome, existing powder coat, paint, and rust. Chrome is harder to strip than paint, so there may be an additional charge depending on the part, but we can handle it.

Powder coating requires metal — it won't work on plastic, rubber, or wood. Parts with rubber seals, bearings, or other heat-sensitive components need to have those items removed before coating. If you're not sure whether your part is a candidate, just bring it in and we'll take a look.

Colors & Finishes

We offer hundreds of colors across multiple finish types: gloss, matte, satin, metallic, candy, textured, two-tone, and custom color match. If you can describe it or bring us a sample, we can usually get close to it.

Come in and look through our color samples — seeing them in person is the best way to pick the right finish for your parts.

We can get very close on most colors. Bring in a paint chip, a color code, or a part with the color you want to match and we'll work with you to find the closest available powder. Keep in mind that powder coat and liquid paint have slightly different finishes, so a perfect match isn't always possible — but we'll get you as close as we can.

Yes. Two-tone and multi-color work requires masking between coats and additional curing cycles, so it takes more time and costs more than a single-color job. Talk to us about what you have in mind and we'll walk you through what's possible.

Services

Yes. We offer ceramic coating for exhaust components, headers, manifolds, and other high-heat parts. Ceramic coating provides excellent heat resistance and corrosion protection in areas where standard powder coat wouldn't hold up to the temperatures.

Yes. We handle welding and fabrication in-house — roll cages, custom brackets, frame repairs, and more. If a part needs weld work before it can be coated, we can take care of that as part of the same job.

Absolutely. Frames, swingarms, wheels, engine covers, exhaust — if it's metal and it's on a motorcycle, we can coat it. Bring it in and we'll walk you through your options.
