Choosing a Powder Coat Finish

The finish you pick changes how a part looks, how it wears and how much prep it needs. Each finish has a job it does best. Pick the one that fits how the part lives.

Gloss gives a deep, wet look shine that wipes clean fast. It shows dust and fingerprints, so it is best for parts that stay clean, like trim, wheels and show engine parts.

Satin tones the shine down. It hides dust, fingerprints and light scratches, which makes it a strong choice for daily drivers and work parts that get handled.

Matte goes flat. It reads stealth on frames, brackets and rugged equipment, and it hides grime the best of the smooth finishes.

Textured adds a grip feel. It hides scratches and handling marks, so it suits valve covers, brackets and tools that take a beating.

Metallic gives a factory look with depth. It reads like raw metal under a clear coat, which works well on springs, suspension and frames.

Metal flake adds sparkle that pops in sunlight. It takes more steps to lay down, so it costs a little more. It is popular for show parts and intake piping.

Road salt is hard on every finish. A good powder coat holds up better than spray paint through a Hudson Valley winter, but no finish is maintenance free. Ask Devin which finish fits your part and your roads.
