Choosing the Right Powder Coat Color for Your Project

Choosing the right color for your powder coating project is about more than aesthetics. The color and finish you select can impact everything from UV resistance to how visible imperfections may be on the final product.

For automotive applications, high-gloss finishes like Gloss Black or Candy Red are popular choices that make components stand out. These finishes show off the smooth surface quality of a well-prepared part and catch light beautifully.

For industrial or outdoor applications, textured finishes are often the better choice. Texture hides minor surface imperfections and provides better grip. Colors like Texture Black or Hammered Bronze are popular for railings, gates, and industrial equipment.

Satin and matte finishes offer a modern, understated look that works well for custom furniture, architectural elements, and motorcycle components. These finishes have a smooth feel without the high shine of gloss.

We maintain a selection of standard colors that cover the most popular options, and we also offer custom color matching for projects that require a specific shade. Visit our Powder Coating page to see our standard color swatches, or contact us to discuss custom options for your project.
