How does powder coating work?
The metal parts are first cleaned and stripped of any rust, paint or finishes.
They then are run through a series of preparation chemicals and
other steps to insure the parts are clean and ready to accept the powder.
The parts have a ground wire attached to them for a negative charge, and the powder gun imparts a positive charge to the power as it is applied. The powder sticks to the part because of static electricity.
Once coated, they are then run through a heating system until the parts are at 450 degrees, this causes the powder to melt (flow out) and bond with the metal. They are then cured by maintaining a temperature of 400 degrees for the time allotted to finish the cure. Heavy parts take longer to
cure as it takes heavy parts longer to achieve the powder flow out temperature and cure.
The parts are then removed from the heat and allowed to return to room temperature.
Once the parts have returned to room temperature they are finished, unless another coat of powder is desired. If a second coat is desired, the parts are cleaned by a different process to ensure that the first coat is not damaged. They are then powder coated and carefully cured again
in a similar manner used for the first coat.
REMEMBER: Glossy is not always better!
We highly recommend that you choose a finish that will flatter your parts condition. (i.e., Pitted parts and poor castings should be coated with a wrinkled or vein finish. North Custom Coatings can help recommend a coating for you.

Parts must be totally disassembled. North Custom Coatings does not remove parts. (i.e., Seals, bushings, gaskets, bearings and races) Any removal of parts/seals $50.00 charge.
If additional blasting is required or parts do not fit into our system profile, they will be sent for commercial stripping which is billed at a rate of $75.00 to $120.00 per hour.
Parts should be clean and free of all oils.
Parts can not contain any bondo or body filler. Bondo will ruin the coating. Some minor imperfections may be filled by our process. Call for details.
Clear coats can be applied to almost all powders for a look of depth and gloss. A 25% additional charge applies for this service. NOTE: Some colors require a clear coat, (i.e., metallics, silver, gold, veins, etc.). If you decide to have us clear coat your parts after your initial run of parts, A 40% additional charge applies.
Powder can be applied over all your old chrome parts if media blasted. North Custom Coatings does not guarantee coatings over chrome.
Prices quoted are for "in Stock" colors. Custom colors are available at additional cost. Additional costs may vary due to color and quantity of powder ordered.
