RC Hotcoats, Custom Powder CoatingConfigure your job

Powder coating for boats and marine hardware

The bay is half an hour from the shop. T-tops, rails, brackets, trailers and outboard parts live in salt air, so they get blasted to bare metal and a primer under the color.

How we handle this work

Every job goes through the same strip, blast, coat and cure. These are the parts of it that matter most for marine work.

See the full process
Primer for salt air
Steel and aluminum that live near salt water get a primer under the color, so a scratch does not let corrosion run under the coating.
Aluminum
Cast and extruded aluminum is outgassed and blasted before coating, which keeps the finish from blistering.
Powder or Cerakote
Powder for frames, rails and trailers. Cerakote for thin, heat- and chemical-resistant parts where a thicker powder film will not fit.

Questions

How close are you to the water?

The shop is in Hunt Valley, about 30 minutes from the Chesapeake. Pickup and delivery are available.

Should I use powder or Cerakote on boat parts?

Powder for frames, T-tops, rails and trailers. Cerakote for small parts, tight tolerances and parts that see heat or fuel.
