What is powder coating?

Powder coat is a protective and aesthetic coating that is applied over metallic objects. It is different from other coatings as it is applied to the work in an electro-statically charged, powder form. The work is then heated in an oven to 375-400 degrees Fahrenheit, which flows the powder into a variety of different colors and textures. The range in a custom powder coater's palette is limitless. Desired effects are achieved by layering multiple solid to translucent colors that can have a glossy, matte, veined, or wrinkled finish. The final effect is identical to the look of paint, but ten times stronger than its solvent-based cousins. This is why powder coating is the ideal finish for objects that require a durable and protective finish like bicycles, furniture, brackets, auto and motorcycle parts.
