Frequently Asked Questions

 Yes, we offer specialty powder coatings designed for outdoor, marine, and industrial applications with enhanced corrosion resistance.

Old coatings must be removed for proper adhesion. We use sandblasting to strip old paint or powder before applying a fresh, even coat. This is the right way to do it and will ensure longevity. We care about quality and don't skip out.

 Pricing depends on the size, complexity, and quantity of the parts. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your specific project. 

Yes, we provide pickup and delivery for large commercial orders, depending on location and project scope. For smaller projects, we add in a fee. You are also welcome to bring anything to the shop if you are concerned with price. 

Turnaround varies by project size, but we pride ourselves on the speed in which we get our customers projects back into their hands. Most all projects are back within a day or two. Rush services are available for urgent projects. 

Yes, we offer a wide range of colors, textures, and gloss levels, and can color-match to meet brand requirements or personal preferences. We have more than 10,000 colors to choose from and can also send your piece of for an even closer match if you don't find the color you like. 

Many industries will claim that powder coating is up to 10x more durable than traditional paint. It resists chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion, even in tough environments. 

 Yes! We handle everything from large-scale commercial metal projects to small, one-off hobby parts like bike frames, engine covers, and brake calipers, brackets, and more. 

 Sandblasting removes rust, paint, and surface contaminants from metal, creating a clean, textured surface so that whatever comes next can properly adhere to the surface and will maximize lifespan.  

We can sandblast wood, plastic, aluminum, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other metal substrates commonly used in commercial and custom fabrication. If it's rusty, it can be blasted. 

Our process involves a thorough examination of the piece and a discussion on your expectations, followed by a quote and expected timeline. If you choose to work with us, we charge half the quote up front. From there, it depends on your goals, but we typically strip it entirely of all paint and grime. Then we make any necessary repairs, paint it, and polish any pieces that need it. If there are any pieces missing we will order them or fabricate them and then do a final assembly. 

Our Approach on “Restorations” 

The term has a wide variety of meanings depending the person. To some the term simply means cleaning up an object, to others it is tracking down every nut and bolt as manufactured for that piece for that year. We can cater to any side of that scale but in general, with the wide variety of meanings, our take is this, “To make the overall piece better than it was from the factory even if it means that it is not exactly the same. So higher quality paint, stronger built pieces, and longer lasting components are key to that. It includes disassembling, cleaning, painting, polishing, and reassembling at a minimum. Our core values: integrity, quality, and beauty are our guidelines." 

We primarily focus on metal restoration. Wooden furniture is not something we typically take on but if it is a project that has both metal and wood, we would love to take a look at it. We often restore wooden items but our specialty is not furniture restoration. 

Here are a few types of projects we have restored: pedal cars, tractors, tool chests, anvils, hammers, antique machinery, vices, chemical cabinets.
