Powder Coating
Powder Coating.
Durable. Vibrant.
Electrostatically applied and oven-cured into a thick, hard finish. More protection than wet paint, zero VOCs, and available in hundreds of colors and textures.
What Is Powder Coating
A Tough Finish Built for Real-World Use
Powder coating is an electrostatic finishing process. Dry powder is charged and applied to the part, then cured in an oven where it flows out and cross-links into a hard, continuous shell. The result is thicker and tougher than conventional wet paint, with no runs, sags, or solvent off-gassing. Because no solvents are involved, the finish is zero-VOC from start to finish.
Every part is cleaned and prepped before coating. That prep work is what makes the finish bond and hold up over time. From a single custom wheel to a production batch of fabricated parts, the process is the same. Advanced Coatings has been applying powder coating from our Redmond, Oregon facility since 2013, serving customers in Central Oregon, the greater Pacific Northwest, and across the US and Canada.
Not sure whether powder coating or Cerakote is the right fit for your project? Both are oven-cured, hard finishes. Powder is typically the stronger choice for larger structural and architectural parts; Cerakote excels on precision components, firearms, and where tight tolerances matter. We can walk you through the options.

Surface Engineering
Powder Coating Built on Proper Prep
Powder cures into a continuous protective shell, but that shell only performs over a clean, properly profiled surface. We strip old coatings, remove rust and contaminants, blast the right anchor profile, then apply and cure to spec, so the finish resists chips, corrosion, and peeling on wheels, fabricated parts, railings, and equipment.
Finish Options
Hundreds of Colors. Multiple Textures.
Gloss
Full-sheen finish. Clean, reflective surface that shows depth of color. Popular on wheels and display pieces.
Satin & Matte
Low-sheen options that reduce glare and fingerprints. Common on industrial parts and understated custom builds.
Textured
Wrinkle, hammertone, and sand textures add grip and hide surface imperfections on fabricated or cast parts.
Candy & Metallic
Translucent candy coats and metallic powders produce deep, rich color effects that flat powders cannot match.

What We Coat
Wheels to Fabrication to Everything Between
Powder coating bonds to steel, aluminum, and most other metals. We work with automotive shops, fabrication houses, and individual builders throughout Central Oregon and Bend, and ship finished parts to customers across the US and Canada. Browse our powder coating work to see real parts before and after.
Automotive Wheels & Suspension
Wheels, control arms, subframes, and brackets. Gloss, satin, or textured finishes that stand up to road grime and brake dust.
Motorcycle & Powersports
Frames, swingarms, fenders, and exhaust components. Finishes that hold up to heat, vibration, and the elements.
Industrial & Fabrication
Welded assemblies, hardware, brackets, and structural parts. Corrosion protection for parts that live outdoors or in harsh environments.
Architectural & Outdoor Metal
Railings, gates, furniture frames, and decorative metalwork. UV-stable finishes that resist fading season after season.
