Powder Coating
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
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 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
Full-sheen finish. Clean, reflective surface that shows depth of color. Popular on wheels and display pieces.
Low-sheen options that reduce glare and fingerprints. Common on industrial parts and understated custom builds.
Wrinkle, hammertone, and sand textures add grip and hide surface imperfections on fabricated or cast parts.
Translucent candy coats and metallic powders produce deep, rich color effects that flat powders cannot match.
Gloss, satin, matte, metallic, candy
No solvents, no off-gassing

What We Coat
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.
Wheels, control arms, subframes, and brackets. Gloss, satin, or textured finishes that stand up to road grime and brake dust.
Frames, swingarms, fenders, and exhaust components. Finishes that hold up to heat, vibration, and the elements.
Welded assemblies, hardware, brackets, and structural parts. Corrosion protection for parts that live outdoors or in harsh environments.
Railings, gates, furniture frames, and decorative metalwork. UV-stable finishes that resist fading season after season.
Common Questions
We have access to hundreds of stock powder colors across all sheens. If you have a specific color code or sample, we can work to find the closest match or source a custom powder for your project.
Powder coating is generally thicker and more impact-resistant than liquid paint. Because there are no solvents, the finish does not shrink or crack as it cures. It also resists chipping, scratching, and UV fading better than most spray-applied paints.
We work on a wide range of part sizes and production volumes. If you have a large batch or an ongoing production need, contact us with the details and we will quote accordingly.
Yes. Our facility is in Redmond, Oregon, and we regularly work with customers throughout Central Oregon including Bend, Sisters, Prineville, La Pine, and surrounding areas. We also ship finished parts across the US and Canada for customers who cannot drop off in person.
Powder coating provides solid corrosion protection for outdoor use, and its UV-stable formulations resist fading season after season. For parts that face extreme chemical exposure or corrosive environments, we can discuss which powder type or surface pretreatment is best suited. Contact us with your application details and we will point you in the right direction.
