Parts of Your Car to Powder Coat

admin • October 6, 2019

A powder coating job is inherently a custom job every single time, and never is the attention to detail involved in a custom job more important than when applying powder coating to parts of a car. Your car is an investment, and any updates in the form of powder coating must be done professionally and with precision. If you’re wondering how powder coating might be applied to your car, here are three common ways that people customize their cars with powder coating.

Rims

Wheel rims are by far the most popular powder coating job for cars. Powder-coated wheels retain their finish for a very long time and are extremely durable, allowing them to stand up to the harsh wear of the roads. Your wheels will receive a rich, hard finish in virtually any color you can imagine. Wheels can even be powder coated in a three-toned style, meaning that certain inner faces of the wheels can be coated with one color, exterior lines with another color, and then fine details with yet another color. This means that your wheels can be powder coated to match exactly the rest of your car.

Under the Hood

For the truly dedicated and detail-oriented, powder coating can be applied to engine parts under the hood for a truly cohesive color scheme on your car. You can have the entire chassis frame powder-coated, or you can opt for any combination of the various engine components under your hood. A car’s engine cover if there is one makes for an especially popular powder coating candidate.

Accessories

Accessories that might be attached to your car can also be powder coated to add some color—or even to match custom-coated wheel rims. Examples of these types of accessories include metal racks, nerf bars on a truck or Jeep, truck bed rails, and a sissy bar or kickstand in the case of a motorcycle.

Powder coating offers a custom finish that truly offers several advantages over spray paint, automotive paint, and even plating. It’s durable, can protect car parts from rust, and gives you just the finish that you want. It also looks a great deal more professional, making it a perfect option for those involved with car restoration. Interested in what powder coating could do for your car?

Why powder coating for aerospace under ISO/AS9100 matters

By Admin • January 27, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for Aerospace (ISO/AS9100) Powder coating provides durable, lightweight, low-VOC protection for aerospace interiors, avionics housings, and ground-support equipment. ISO/AS9100 adds aviation-grade controls: documented travelers, first article inspection, calibrated gauges, cure logs, and full traceability. Performance depends on disciplined prep: precision cleaning, media blasting, conversion coating, outgassing, masking, and purpose-built racking with solid grounding. Cure is validated with thermocouples on representative mass to hit time-at-temperature. Film build is held within spec and Faraday areas are engineered up front. Release testing covers thickness, adhesion, impact, bend, gloss, color delta, humidity or salt fog, and specified chemical rubs. Use powder for consistent appearance and abrasion resistance in cabins and on the ramp. Choose alternatives like anodize, conversion coat, ceramic, or vacuum coating when ultra-thin or high-temp films are required. Cost drivers: part size and complexity, masking, pretreatment stack, finish tier, special tests, and documentation packages. Buyer checklist: drawings with mask and film-build zones, color and gloss targets, required tests, documentation needs, sample panels or pilot build, and packaging specs.
