A durable, professional finish for automotive parts, equipment, custom metalwork, and more.

If you have metal parts, equipment, wheels, railings, furniture, or other items that need a durable new finish, powder coating may be the right solution.

At JB Powder Coating & Welding in Chelsea, Maine , we provide professional powder coating for projects ranging from individual parts to high-volume commercial orders.

What Is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a finishing process that uses a dry powder instead of traditional liquid paint. The powder is electrostatically applied to a prepared surface and then cured, creating a smooth, durable finish.

Powder coating is available in a wide variety of colors, textures, and finishes, making it a great choice for both appearance and protection.

Why Choose Powder Coating?

One of the biggest advantages of powder coating is durability. A properly prepared and coated surface can resist everyday wear, chipping, and scratching while helping protect the metal underneath.

That's especially important here in Maine, where moisture, snow, road conditions, and changing temperatures can be tough on metal.

Powder coating also provides a clean, professional appearance, making it an excellent option for everything from automotive parts to railings and custom fabrication.

What Can Be Powder Coated?

Powder coating works well for many different projects, including:

Wheels and rims
Truck and Jeep frames
Automotive and powersports parts
Handrails and metal signs
Plows and trailers
Metal furniture
Fabricated metal components
Production and high-volume parts

Proper Preparation Makes a Difference

A quality finish starts with proper surface preparation. Rust, old coatings, and other contaminants need to be removed before powder coating.
