Powder Coating Near Me

Find a powder coating shop near you.

Are you looking to powder coat your wheels or rims? What if you don’t have a powder coating job shop nearby?

Our comprehensive directory of the world’s best custom powder coaters helps consumers find the perfect powder coating for projects.

It’s called Powder Coating Near Me.

We started PowderCoatingNearMe.com because we realized Google doesn’t give you exactly what you need when searching for powder coating. 

There are lots of powder coaters that may populate in your area BUT not all will do rims or automotive parts. Some are industrial only. Some are line coaters. Some just do part manufacturing. They can’t help you but their results don’t tell you.

That’s why we created the largest directory of the best coaters on the planet.

..and they all have a story to tell.

Did you know you can powder coat vape pens? I didn’t until I met Ashton Palmer of Palmers Powders. He’s in our directory & he’s located in Idaho.

There’s also Victor Pate from Black Label Coatings in Tennessee who started his own line of powders just for car rim customizing.

You won’t know what you’re missing until you find out that the best coaters may not be near you at all.

Top shop makes it in Maui, Hawaii

Maui Powder Works has been named one of the best finishing shops in the U.S. for 2019, according to an industry benchmarking survey conducted by Products Finishing magazine, a trade publication that has covered the industry since 1936. The magazine conducted an extensive benchmarking survey that analyzes companies in several different areas, including Current Finishing Technology, Finishing Practices and Performances, Business Strategies and Performances, and Training and Human Resources.

Only the top 50 shops were given the honor of being a Products Finishing magazine ‘Top Shop’ based on a scoring matrix of those four criteria.

As a powder coating shop located Maui we are extremely excited and pleased to be named one of Products Finishing magazine’s ‘Top Shops’ especially from Maui, Hawaii.  [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.3″ header_text_align=”left” background_color=”#ffffff”]

 

 

“To be able to be as competitive as mainland shops means our employees and management team have worked very hard to be the best in the industry and to expand the market here while providing our customers with quality service.”

We Make Metal Perform Better

When it comes to powder coating metal applications we are Hawaii’s go-to source. Our knowledge provides insight into solving a customer’s individual needs. We make your metal look as good as you need it to perform.

  1. Unlike traditional painting contractors who deal with messy liquid paints and epoxies, powder coating industry spares Hawaii landfills from excessive debris and waste from job clean up.  
  1. Durable coatings also contain no solvents; therefore do not emit pollution in the form of harmful fumes and gases known as VOCs into the atmosphere. 
  1. Our multiple ovens sizes offer flexibility; from racking a wide range of part sizes and quantities to extreme sized custom fabrication. We do it all, big or small saving you money with a quicker turnaround.

Hidden Maui Resort Improves Its Curb Appeal Using Powder Coating

September 28, 2019 by pcnearme

Restored Enigmas of a Resort Main Entrance helps them stand out.

Tucked away on a windy road just minutes away from the big waves of Honolua Bay there is a resort that is preserving their uniqueness using powder coating. With direct cove access and fabulous snorkeling, Honokeana Cove Condos is using powder coating to restore and maintain some very special metal projects that help keep this vacation spot looking top-notch.

Preservation Project 1- Lighted Torches

Resident manager, Ray Watson, first came to us earlier this year after peak tourist season was winding down to work on their lighted Kahili torches project. The torch lighting stands out at night keeping drivers on alert of a dangerous bend in the road ahead. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″]

What are Kahili?

Princess Nahienaena c.1825
   Princess Nahienaena c.1825

The Kahili(s) were 30-40 years old, an inspiration reminiscent from the Kingdom of Hawaii. The stands needed stabilizing and the original painted finish had faded over time. The housing was dismantled carefully to see if it was a good candidate for the metal restoration process.  It was amazing how well preserved it was.

We were impressed with the craftsmanship of the original builder. The metal was in impeccable shape for as old as it was.  It made an excellent candidate for an AAMA 2604 compliant finish. 

As a key feature to the main entrance, it was important for the oceanfront resort to do it right. Now the renovated light fixture keeps this place a visual stand out amongst similarly built vacation rentals just outside the main resort areas of Kaanapali in West Maui.

We used a primer base specified for aluminum and then finished with Prismatic Powders-Anodized Bronze.   [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″]

Today it is vital to telling travelers:

“ Stop, turn here! You’ve arrived at your destination. “

 Starting to rust it was time to give this guy and new updated look. This project was creatively restored using our Patina Powder Coat finish we innovated right here in Maui, Hawaii. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_blurb title=”before restoration-the mailbox honu was rusty & faded ” image=”https://www.powdercoatingnearme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/the-coves-mailbox-honu-before-restoration.png” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.7″]We asked full-time resident manager, Ray Watson about why they chose powder coating, he replied:

We chose powder coat because it’s the strongest, most durable, long term, low maintenance coating. I wanted my pieces that are exposed to every element to last a long time and stay looking good. Plus using a paint product would require hundreds of dollars a year to refinish to keep them looking new, the extra cost of powder coating will pay for itself over time.

Owners of these one, two and three bedroom oceanfront vacation rentals can rest assured the most unique features of a precious hideaway will remain protected for years to come.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″]

nostalgic seafood restaurant revitalizes exterior of Pearlridge Mall

July 22, 2019 by pcnearme

Restaurant Railing Project Aiea, Hawaii

Ah-hoy Diners!

Uncle’s Fish Market & Grill at Pearlridge takes you back to the simple life in Hawaii but that’s not what makes this restaurant famous. What does is their amazing selection of seafood caught daily to impress locals and visitors alike.  

So when it came to updating the outside railing to accommodate patronage better, they sought the simplicity in a dynamic railing system from one of the top fabricators in the state. Stanford Yacht Tenders took its extensive background in marine and vessel builds to give a safe harbor feel to the land-based mall exterior. 

Leaving the top rail a natural wood, the powder-coated railing project is traditional in design with a dark bronze two coat powder coating system by Maui Powder Works | Powder Coating Hawaii. Threaded steel completes the yacht-ie appeal.Additionally, beautifully crafted metal fish flank either side of the main entrance to entice the diner of what’s to be found inside! The freshest fish found in Hawaii.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”MPW Blog Form Mobile” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ global_module=”12659″ saved_tabs=”all”]

Maui Meets The Sun

July 13, 2019 by pcnearme

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.26″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″]
 

DKIST Solar Telescope Aperture
Haleakala, Maui

 

In honor of total solar eclipse over Argentina and Chile on July 2, 2019, we thought we’d share our DKIST National Solar Observatory aperture project. Located on Haleakala which means House of the Sun in Hawaiian.

 

Although not very old, DKIST solar telescope aperture, part of the space telescope, was suffering from premature decay in the form of severe erosion to its exposed surface metals.

 

Tethering the Sun

 

Even the hero-god Maui, who lassoed the sun’s rays, would approve of what we accomplished in a matter of a couple of weeks.

That’s when observatory scientists reach out to us for help. They wanted to know if there was a coating tough enough to withstand the sun’s harsh rays.  Because of its mixed metal fabrication containing brass, copper, and aluminum the thin aerospace paint which was applied before installation wasn’t holding up.

 

Needless to say, when it comes to saving the world rest assured these scientists did their homework when they chose Tiger Drylac Super Durable 061/80079 (Black Anodized Effect) It worked well and met their optical and absorption requirements(it gets hot around a giant piece of glass pointing at the sun)

 

The pieces were dissembled into three 15ft arched segments which were loaded into our blast facility. After abrasive blasting, each one had to be carefully handled and moved for each phase of the 5-stage restoration process. To meet the minimum finish requirements the DKIST Team needed we used Tiger’s Dryprotector Primer. Its superior adherence and moisture protection. It was key to the whole application process.

Muscle the hustle

Here at the Maui Powder Works shop, we’ve been debating if our new slogan should be

Powder Coating: Saving one planet at a time!

No joke when I asked about looking for asteroids to hit the earth anytime soon the lead scientist said, “…its the CMEs from the sun we have to worry about.” Yikes! TMI

This was an all hands on deck effort for all involved.  A shout of appreciation goes to our rep Sandra Kresz at Tiger Drylac for all the hustle she put in to get us samples to us quickly for testing and answered any technical questions immediately.

Please, no negative comments on telescopes in Hawaii.

Leilani’s Restaurant, Kaanapali, Maui

In the spring of 2018, Leilani’s restaurant a favorite of both tourists and locals renovated their upstairs dining space with new surfaces, fixtures, and metalwork.  The contractor, Honolulu Builders was poised to bring the vision together for the island to enjoy again.  Now this new well-designed ohana style dining space captures a refreshed theme without losing its original welcoming appeal they are known for.

 

New railings are just the latest updates to this popular restaurant in Kaanapali. Located in picturesque West Maui. It’s a must-see!

 

The project included custom powder coated railings, enclosures, and handrails spanning up to 20 feet in length. Fabricated by local welders using substrates from aluminum to hard steel, The custom pieces included both curved, jogged and staggard for both functionality and a unique island look. 

To keep a lasting beauty over time an AAMA 2604 compliant coating system was chosen.  The two-coat application consisted of a primer zinc coating before the final color coat. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://mauipowderworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/leilanis.png” align=”center” _builder_version=”3.26.1″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”MPW Blog Form Mobile” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ global_module=”12659″ saved_tabs=”all”]
