Powder Coating Prices

Every job at Powder Pros has a $150 minimum. That's the standard minimum, including commercial work, and exceptions can be made.

Past that, prices are shown as "starting at." Your final price depends on the part, how many you have, the finish you pick, and the condition the parts are in when they arrive. We confirm the final price after we inspect the parts.

Coating prices assume single-stage colors with no primer needed. Specialty finishes are available and quoted separately.

The fastest way to a real number is to send us photos and sizes through our quote form, or call (916) 635-8720.

Our $150 Minimum

The minimum charge is $150 per job. Every job takes the same setup, color change, and oven time, whether it's one bracket or a full set. This is the standard minimum, including commercial work. Exceptions can be made.

If you have a few small parts, bring them in together as one job. You'll get a lot more out of the minimum.

What Affects the Price

• Size and weight. Bigger and heavier parts take more powder, more blast time, and more oven space.
• Quantity. Coating several of the same part in one color costs less per piece than one-offs.
• Complexity. Tubing, tight corners, mesh, small details, and hollow parts take more time to prep and coat evenly.
• Color and finish. A single-stage color with no primer needed is the starting price. Specialty finishes are available and quoted separately.
• Masking. Threads, bearing surfaces, bolt holes, and anything that has to stay bare gets masked by hand before coating.
• Disassembly. Parts that come in already taken apart, with hardware, bearings, seals, rubber, and plastic removed, cost less. Please remove rubber, plastic, and other non-metal parts before drop-off.

Part Condition When It Arrives

Condition is the biggest reason two similar parts end up at different prices. A coating only lasts as long as the prep under it, so we don't skip steps.

• Clean, bare metal. The least prep and the best price.
• Light surface rust. Standard media blasting takes care of it.
• Heavy rust, scale, or pitting. More blast time. Deep pitting can still show through the finish.
• Previously painted or powder coated. The old coating has to come off completely before we recoat. Extra media blasting adds time, and multiple layers take longer.
• Greasy or oily. Parts have to be degreased before blasting. Oil soaked into the metal can bubble up through new powder in the oven. Please wipe parts down before you drop them off.
• Castings. Cast aluminum and cast iron hold air and oil that release when heated. This is called outgassing. These parts may need an extra bake before coating so the finish comes out smooth.
• Body filler, plastic, and rubber. None of these can go in the oven. They have to be removed first.
• Damaged parts. Cracks, dents, bent pieces, and bad welds will show through powder. We coat parts, we don't repair them. We don't weld, straighten, or fix curb rash, cracks, or bends. If we see damage, we'll let you know before any work starts.

Your final price is confirmed after we inspect the parts in person. Estimates from photos or over the phone are a starting point. If we find something that changes the price, we call you before we do the work.

What We Coat

We coat almost anything made of metal.

The only exceptions are items that aren't safe at oven curing temperatures or when sandblasted. Examples include sealed or pressurized parts, and parts with rubber, plastic, or other non-metal components that can't be removed.

If you're not sure about a part, call us or send photos through the quote form and we'll let you know.

Price Guide

Coating prices assume single-stage colors with no primer needed. Specialty finishes are available and quoted separately. Your final price depends on size, condition, and finish, and is confirmed after inspection. Every job has a $150 minimum.

Commercial and Production Work

We work with contractors, fabricators, and manufacturers on fencing, gates, railings, staircases, school projects, equipment, and architectural metal. We take on large production runs alongside small jobs, which not many shops in our industry will do.

Commercial work is quoted per project. Large jobs are quoted with bulk pricing. The $150 job minimum is standard, and exceptions can be made.

To get an accurate quote fast, send us:

• Drawings or photos
• Part counts and dimensions
• Material (steel or aluminum)
• Color and finish spec
• Your due date

Payment is due at pickup after the work is done. We take cash, card, and business checks.

Individual and DIY Projects

We coat automotive and motorcycle parts, wheels, brake calipers, patio furniture, bike frames, and just about anything metal. No job is too small, and the $150 minimum applies.

Ways to keep your price down:

• Bring parts clean and free of grease.
• Take parts apart and remove hardware, rubber, and plastic.
• Group small parts into one job and one color.
• Tell us what needs to stay bare so we can mask it right the first time.

Wheels, Brake Calipers, and Exhaust

Wheels are priced per set of 4 and by size. Steel, alloy, motorcycle, and chrome or plated wheels are priced the same. Please take the tires off before drop-off. We don't dismount or mount tires.

Brake calipers are priced per caliper or per set. Please remove the pistons and seals before drop-off so they don't get damaged in the oven.

Ceramic exhaust coating for headers, manifolds, and turbo housings is listed in the price guide.

Starting prices are in the guide above. Your final price depends on size, condition, and finish, and is confirmed after inspection.

We coat parts, we don't repair them. Damage will show through the finish.
