How much does powder coating cost?
It depends on the job. The main things that move the price are the size and number of parts, how much old coating and rust has to come off, the surface or substrate, the finish and number of coats, the color choice, any masking, any repairs, removal and reinstallation for installed pieces, and travel distance for mobile work. We look at the job and give you a clear quote — we never quote blind. You can also try our powder coating cost calculator for a rough idea of how the factors move the cost.
What colors and finishes can I choose?
Powder coating comes in a wide range of colors and finishes — gloss, satin, matte, textured, metallic, candy and clear. Single-stage colors are one coat of powder with no clear; two-stage uses a base plus a clear or color coat for candy, metallic and chrome-look finishes. We can also color-match in many cases. The best choice depends on where the item lives and the look you want.
How long does a powder coating job take?
Turnaround depends on the job — the size and number of parts, how much prep and blasting is needed, the finish, and how many colors. A single set of wheels or a small batch of parts is usually quicker than a large gate or a production run. We'll give you an honest timeframe when we quote the job, and we get your parts back to you on time.
Do you pick up and deliver?
For shop work, drop-off, pick-up or delivery details are confirmed when the job is booked. For large or installed pieces like gates and railings, removal and reinstallation are discussed when you book. Mobile blasting comes to your home, ranch or job site for big items that can't come to the shop.
What areas do you serve?
We serve San Antonio and the surrounding area, including New Braunfels, Schertz, Boerne, Cibolo, Universal City, Converse, Live Oak, Seguin, Helotes, Leon Valley, Selma, Alamo Heights and Garden Ridge. San Antonio is our home market; the other 13 cities each have their own area page.
Do you come to my home, ranch or job site?
Yes. Dustless and mobile blasting is done on-site at your home, business, ranch, job site or yard — great for brick paint removal, graffiti, pools, driveways, boats and large items. Powder coating itself is cured in an oven, so the coating is done in the shop; the blasting and prep can be done on-site.
