I'm sure you've heard the term "powder coating" before but, like me, it is probably just something that you nodded your head to but never really understood what it was. It turns out that it's a pretty cool option that, for some reason, just seems to stay under the radar.


Powder coating is an alternative finishing option to painting that is actually much more durable and weather resistant so it will last much longer than paint will. Plus, it has just as many color options as paint and a wide variety of styles. It's extremely versatile and is both functional and decorative.


You actually probably interact with powder coated items every day and don't even know it, pretty much anything that is metal can be powder coated. Here's a list of some of the most common things that can be powder coated:


  • Automotive Parts:

    Rims, wheels, bumpers, engine parts, exhaust pipes can receive a powder coating. Not only will they look nicer but they'll also be more durable!

  • Outdoor furniture:

    Perhaps you have an old bench or patio set that you love but it's starting to get rusty and look worn. You can bring it back to life by powder coating it. Plus, you can customize the colors to give it a fresh new look!

  • Office Furniture:

    People never treat office furniture with respect, it gets slammed in to, has things thrown on it or against it. Protect your investment and have it powder coated! Plus, you can get it customized to your company colors to really give your office a pop!

  • Playground Equipment:

    Talk about taking a beating, playgrounds take the worst of it...and they should! There is nothing better than kids being kids but you don't want to have to buy them a second swing set because it sits out in the weather all year. Guess what? If you powder coat it can handle the elements, plus you can give it a cool look by choosing colors that none of the other kids will have.

  • Lighting Fixtures:

    Did you find the perfect new light fixture for outside your house but it's not in the color that you need? Or, perhaps you found an amazing chandelier at an antique shop that will look great over your dining room table but it needs some new life breathed into it. Powder coating offers the option of that perfect color plus protection for years to come.

  • Motorcycle Parts:

    You just found an amazing deal on the exact bike that you've been looking for but it's the last one they have and it's not the color you wanted. You can powder coat the frame, handlebars, and engine cover and make it the color you wanted. Or, you can make a totally unique bike and it will be way more durable than just getting it painted.

  • Appliances:

    Did you finally sock away enough money to redesign your kitchen? Now that you're finally getting to do it, you want it to be unique, original, and fun! And, let's face it, you want it to stay that way because you don't know if you'll ever have it in your budget again. Powder coating will toughen up your appliances so that you keep that amazing design of yours looking great for years!

I could go on and on, but you get the idea, powder coating can be used in all sorts of ways on a ton of different products. Oh, and one more thing; it is generally more cost effective than painting is. Crazy, right?
