According to the Powder Coating Institute, powder coating is a dry finishing process resulting in a high-quality, durable finish, allowing for maximized production, improved efficiencies, and simplified environmental compliance. Used as functional (protective) and decorative finishes, powder coatings are available in an almost limitless range of colors and textures, and technological advancements have resulted in excellent performance properties.

Powder coat is a combination of polymer resin, pigments, and other additives melted together and then ground into a specific particle size. The powder is applied using an electrostatic gun which positively charges the powder particles as they pass through. The parts being coated are grounded, which attracts the charged powder to create a smooth, uniform coating. The parts are then transferred to the oven, which forms a thermal bond during the curing process and gives powder coat its well-known durability.

Powder coat outperforms wet paint in many ways. Its extreme durability makes it more resistant to scratching, chipping, chemicals and impacts. Powder coat also has superior color retention which helps prevent fading from outdoor elements. Powder coating colors have their own unique finish that ranges from gloss, matte, metallic, smooth, and textured. Powder coat can be layered to achieve custom colors full of depth and vibrancy.

If the component is made of metal, it is suitable for powder coating. Some examples include automotive parts, motorcycle and ATV components, marine equipment, outdoor furniture and decorations, railings, light posts, fencing, and commercial parts.

All parts must be 100% disassembled to undergo the process of being powder coated. All bearings, seals, gaskets, bushings, sealant, o-rings, hardware, etc. must be removed or an additional fee will be added to your invoice. All parts must not have excessive oils or grease. If parts are oily, greasy, or dirty there will be an additional charge for degreasing.

We strive to complete each customer's parts as fast as we possibly can. As our turn-around times are constantly changing due to workload, please contact us for our current turn around time to ensure the most accurate answer.

Yes, we offer a "rushed order" service for an additional fee of 25%–50% depending on complexity and desired completion time. A rush order means the RC Hotcoats crew will stop all other projects to ensure the completion of your parts.

Yes, many popular colors can be matched with powder coat such as automotive colors. If a direct match isn't available for the color you want to achieve, we will test samples until we can produce a color that matches.
