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.”

-Ross Scott, Maui Powder Works

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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″]

There are two approaches to powder coating spoked or laced rims on cars, motorcycles, and bikes.

One, leave them in place and powder coat over them.

Or two, remove and powder coat separately.

Making the best decision

If you’ve got dirt bike rims, spoke rims on bikes and motorcycles or cars that you’re looking to get powder coated, the question you need to ask is:

To take apart or… to not take apart?

Aside from the cost in additional labor using the second approach, powder coating them in place means that in the long term they cannot be taken apart. They will be entirely coated and non-removable.

That’s great for maintenance, however, if you’re wanting the full and complete restoration to spoked rims consider the longevity of the project at hand. You will need to how long are you keeping it or what level of restoration are you wanting to achieve with these spoked rims.

Powder Coating Confidential: How to avoid problems with your powder coater

Troubleshooting is the most overlooked aspect of powder coating

Going over what your getting is important as much as what to go over when working with a powder coater. The most overlooked aspect of powder coating is knowing the level of restoration you’re going to get for that perfect powder coat finish.

When going to your local coater be sure to ask how they go about restoring your project. Most quality custom coaters use a 5-stage restoration process to make sure your project gets done right. When you’re working on your prized or sentimental project it’s important to know that you’re getting it done right so be sure ask so you know what you’re getting into because restoration can be expensive and time-consuming.

1. Stripping is a chemical process using a compound called methylene chloride which activates the paint to bubble up and pull away from the surface to be removed with an abrasive tool like steel brush, steel wool or paint scraper.

2. Blasting through a pressure pot at a high psi(air pressure) and is next to help remove the excess paint left over from stripping and raise the metal surface to bond better to the new coating. There are few different kinds of media available which when combined with pressurized air become the ideal dry prep

3. Metal Prep Wash should be used especially when older metal or grimy parts are being done. There are (alkaline) salt remover solutions and acid-based solutions depending on the type of metal being powder coated. They help in removing extra fine debris and mil-scale rust or corrosion not seen by the naked eye.

4. Powder Coat & Curing is by where the metal is electrically charged to attract the powder particles then baked at temperatures not exceeding 500 degrees with specific time limits. When the powder is cured it means that the powder has bonded together(flowed out) and fully harden when the metal cools

5. Inspection is the very last step to ensure that the finish is lacking cross-contamination and other surface issues like outgassing, peeling, and fish-eye which can be common issues in restoration. Be sure to go over your project with you powder coater at the time of pick up.

A final note: To help customers search for quality coatings there are powder coater member groups which custom coaters can be affiliated. One of them is called the Powder Coating Institute (PCI). A hallmark of PCI is their Powder Coated Tough Mark. It is used by coaters and manufacturers to make consumers aware that their products are finished with this environmentally friendly process.

PCI Gold -Since 2017
