Our 2019 customer-based trends in rims survey results are in

What color rims will look good on your car?  As a customer, it seems like a simple enough question to ask yourself as you pull up to your local powder coating shop. In this post, we dig deeper into what rim trends are happening right now across America, even as far west as Australia in wheel customizing.

We surveyed some of the top powder coaters to see what powder colors their customers were asking for. Almost all serviced clients both motorcycle and vehicle restoration. The bulk of respondents were early-stage coaters (under 5 years of experience)from the east coast, midlands, southwest, and the northwest/pacific.

Here’s what they had to say:

 

The Stats

50% said their customers definitely want to stand out and turn heads

 

36% said customers just want their rims to look good on the road again

 

14% said their customers would spend whatever it took to look the best, with no expense spared

Defining your style

Are you wanting to continue with the continuity and style you already have? Or, are you looking for a quirky style all to yourself i.e. your own personal style, look or brand? Are you passionate about car culture or competing in shows?

Knowing what kind of customer you are will help your custom coater determine the type of service you’re looking for when it comes to powder coating your rims. From there they can direct you to the colors and powders that will fit perfectly with your style and budget.  Get all the facts in this Free Guide to getting your rims powder coated.

Most requested custom wheel services

According to survey respondents, the types of services customers are requesting is expanding. Even though most said that the majority of customers are only wanting opaque, solid single stage colors in basic like blacks and whites.

A surprising number, over 40%, said their customers were requesting two-stage transparent colors like illusions or flake overlays as well as two-tone effect applications.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://mauipowderworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/rims-trends-showcase-triptic-customizing-color.png” align=”center” _builder_version=”3.29.3″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″]

Local knowledge proves best

Locally there were highly diverse responses. Some said going back to basics or factory looks. Others were seeing even more extreme customizing in their areas. If your thinking about getting your rims powder coated, consider a valuable opinion from your powder coater.

To avoid problems with your coater make sure they offer powder coating rims as part of their regular lineup of services offered to customers. Not all will tell you that. Some specialize in car only customizing, rim repair and refinishing.

Hidden Maui Resort Improves Its Curb Appeal Using Powder Coating

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″]

Preservation Project 2 – Turtle Mailbox

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″]

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”]

Introducing Patina Powder Coat©

Innovation is happening rapidly in the powder coating industry, from powders reaching new heights in durability and longevity to custom coater creatives.  It’s an exciting time to be in this industry. With projected hi-growth into the second decade, you can expect powder coating to touch aspects of architecture, automotive and home goods like never before.  

So it is with great pleasure that Maui Powder Works, a local powder coater serving all-islands, introduces a new twist on achieving a realistic patina copper effect to metal in a non-traditional way. We call it a patina simulation with powder coating or a non-living patina versus a living finish or an induced effect.

A heavily distressed patina effect to a resort side gate in Maui, Hawaii

Ross Scott, the owner of Maui Powder Works and his new line of distressed powder coating called Powder Effects© . He credits his outcome on working 15 years in furniture refinishing before getting into the metal coating business.

“Our patina effect is perfect from day one,” says Scott. “You no longer have to wait for aging to occur.”  Achieving a perfect architectural effect immediately without waiting for change over time is important to the resort and luxury home markets.  These high-end markets demand ready-made finishes but seek the quality of being environmentally friendly, meaning they are safe for people to be around. This appeal is an added bonus when most patina effects are created today using layers of harsh chemicals to encourage the same effect to metal.

There’s one more bonus…cost. Copper is a very expensive metal to use.  We can achieve a similar effect using gates and railings made out of cheaper substrates, like aluminum and steel.  It’s a win-win for the manufacturing and contracting market.  

The effect itself can be modified to the buyers’ specs. With this unique proprietary process, different effects can be created.  Similar to what you find in nature, the effect can range from simple distressing to heavily distressed, aged looks. Maui Powder Works can use different colors to create different effects, the sky’s the limit.

Powder for metal coatings comes in many different colors, textures, and looks. They are essentially liquid coating in a powdered form.  Powders are made from mostly polyester and urethanes which give them their durability and UV resistance from fading, however, there are epoxies and hybrids as well. Most are just a single-stage application. Some are two-stage or colors that require a clear coat.

Depending on the condition of your project it’s important to know which powder will work best for you.  Watch this video playlist to learn it all in just a few minutes!
