A Sharp Salute

As a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force I would like to thank our Armed Forces and all first responders for what they do. These people put themselves in harm’s way to protect our way of life both overseas and here at home, and unfortunately, many have died doing just that. Let’s not forget, despite the danger, every one of them have chosen their profession.

About Us

Our priority is high quality finishes and top-notch customer service. We have been applying show quality powder coating since 1999 and every part we work on is treated as if it were our own. We take special care to tape off or plug critical areas that shouldn't be blasted or coated, smooth out sharp areas, and generally try to make the part as perfect as possible.

Final Touch Powder Coating is a custom coater batch shop, meaning we powder coat for the general public and our process is completely manual, no automated equipment. We are located in Spring Lake North Carolina, just 10 miles north of Fayetteville and right outside of Fort Bragg. We have a 5,000 sq ft powder coat facility with a separate 1,200 sq ft indoor blast shop. Our 20’ curing oven can handle most car and truck frames, racecar chassis, even patio furniture and handrailing. If you just need your parts blasted, no problem, we do that too!

You can receive a free estimate from our website form, send us a detailed email, visit during business hours, or give us a call 910-496-0555. We will get back to you no later than the following business day on estimate requests received after hours. The more details you can provide the better, and pictures are always helpful on written requests.

What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to any metal part that is used by both commercial industry and private consumers. The powder used for this process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin that is electrostatically sprayed onto the surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surface until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high quality and attractive finish. Powder coating is one of the fastest growing finishing technologies in North America.

Powder coatings produce an attractive finish that offers excellent resistance to corrosion, heat, impact, abrasion, fading from sunlight, and extreme weather. There are thousands of colors available with high and low gloss levels, solid tones, metallics and even clear finishes available. Texture selection ranges from smooth surfaces to wrinkled or rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections while enhancing the part’s appearance. Both thin and thick film applications are possible to suit the particular requirements of the job.

The automotive industry uses powder coating on wheels, bumpers, hubcaps, door handles, decorative trim, accent parts, frames, suspension, filters and numerous engine parts.

The architectural and building market powder coats aluminum extrusions used on windows and door frames. You may also see it used on exterior door handles, lighting fixtures, metal office furniture, clothes racks, vending machines and medical equipment. Many highway and building projects use powder coating on light poles, guard rails, signs, posts, handrailing and fencing.

What can be Powder Coated?

Practically any metal part can be powder coated. However, powder coating has some limitations such as excessive temperatures when the part is in use. Powder coat cures at around 400 degrees, so anything that will get above that can overbake the finish. The rule of thumb on powder coating automotive exhaust parts is, anywhere a chrome pipe "blues" or discolors from high heat is too hot for powder coat. Another limitation is powder coating parts that contain lead solder such as radiators, heater cores, metal gas tanks, etc. The powder cure temperature is high enough to cause lead solder to soften and even start to melt thin areas.

All parts must be fully disassembled before being brought in for powder coat, to include bearings and seals. However, metal bushings and bearing races can be left in and will be masked before the blasting and powder coat process.
