Matte, Satin, Gloss & Texture: Which Powder Coat Finish?
A quick guide to the finishes APC offers — matte, satin, gloss and texture — and when each one is the right call.
The Four Finishes We Offer
Matte for a low-sheen modern look; satin for a soft mid-sheen; gloss for a bright, reflective surface; and texture — including silver vein, copper vein and a sand-like mini-texture that adds grip. We don't do iridescent finishes.
How to Choose
Gloss shows detail (and minor imperfections) most; matte and satin hide them and read contemporary. Texture is popular on hitches and all-terrain parts for grip, and on architectural metal to mask surface variation.
