The Coastal Problem
Coastal Metal Takes a Beating — We Make It Last
On the Gulf coast, salt air, humidity and sun break down ordinary paint fast. Powder coating bonds a tougher, corrosion-resistant finish to your metal that holds color and resists chipping far longer than wet paint.
Whether it's a boat rail eaten by salt, an architectural staircase, race-car parts, or a production run of brackets, we bring it back to bare metal and finish it to last.

- Garnet-only blasting media

One Shop, Three Services
Three Services That Work Together
Because we prep, mask and coat under one roof, nothing gets lost between vendors — and adhesion is controlled from the first step.
Powder Coating
Electrostatic powder coating of metal parts — a durable, chip- and corrosion-resistant finish baked on in our oven. This is the umbrella service covering automotive, marine, architectural and industrial work.
- Matte, satin, gloss & texture
- Full RAL color system
- House colors at no charge
- From a $175 minimum
Sandblasting
Abrasive blasting with garnet media to strip old coatings, rust and contaminants — both as preparation for powder coating and as a standalone restoration service.
- Garnet media only
- Rust removal
- Paint stripping
- Starting at $2.50 per minute standalone
Masking
Precision high-temp tape masking, stencils and selective coating so threads, bores, machined faces and spokes stay bare and dimensionally correct.
- High-temp tape & plugs
- Threads kept clean
- Machined faces protected
- Selective two-tone work
How It Works
Every Part Moves Through Four Stages
01
Blast
Garnet-blasted back to sound, bare metal — about 90% of parts start here.
02
Mask
High-temp masking so threads, bores and machined faces stay in spec.
03
Coat
Electrostatic powder in your RAL color and finish, applied in-house.
04
Cure
Oven-cured to a hard, bonded finish, then inspected before it goes back.
Real Job
A Gulf-Coast Railing, Stripped and Recoated
Salt air had taken the galvanising off this waterfront railing. Garnet-blasted back to bare metal, then powder coated satin black — same railing, same spot.

Why Garnet Media Makes the Difference
Most shops never tell you what they blast with. We use garnet only — it's low-dust, low-odor, environmentally friendly and safer for our team than the black-slag media many coaters use.
A cleaner, consistent surface profile is why roughly 90% of our parts are blasted before coating: better prep, better adhesion, a finish that lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does powder coating last in coastal Florida?
With proper prep and care, a powder-coated finish resists corrosion and fading for years longer than wet paint. Constant saltwater contact shortens any finish, so we give honest expectations and care guidance up front.
What can you powder coat?
Automotive parts, wheels, marine and boat hardware, architectural railings and gates, and industrial/production parts. We focus on metal finishing and do not offer residential-only or military work.
Do you sandblast before coating?
Yes — about 90% of parts are garnet-blasted first for a clean surface profile and lasting adhesion. We also take standalone sandblasting and restoration jobs.
How long does a job take?
Standard turnaround is 7 business days. Faster turnaround is available for a rush fee (up to +35%).
Do you offer pickup and delivery?
Free local pickup and delivery to and from client commercial locations in the Sarasota–Bradenton area. Job-site delivery beyond the local area is $125 per trip up to a 50-mile radius.
What colors and finishes can I get?
We coat in the RAL color system with matte, satin, gloss and textured finishes (including silver vein, copper vein and mini-texture). House/stock colors are no charge; special-order colors add $180.
How much does powder coating cost?
Powder coating starts at a $175 minimum charge, with a custom quote by part and size. Standalone sandblasting starts at $2.50/minute. Every job gets a free estimate.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes — a 2-year workmanship warranty. It covers our handling and application; damage from misuse, harsh cleaners or prolonged saltwater exposure is excluded.
