About Final Touch Powder Coating
Our priority is high quality finishes and top notch customer service. We've been applying show quality powder coating since 1999. Every part is treated as if it were our own, taking special care to tape off or plug critical areas that shouldn't be coated. Final Touch Powder Coating is a custom coater [batch]
shop. That basically means we powder coat in batches for the general
public and our process is completely manual, no automated
equipment. Our 5,000 square foot facility is located only 10 miles north of Fayetteville NC in Spring Lake, just outside
of Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base, see our address below. Our 20' oven can
handle any motorcycle part and practically any car or truck
part including frames and race car chassis. For a price quote on anything not listed on our price

We are excited to announce the addition of a 1,200 square foot indoor blasting facility! We offer non-abrasive soda blasting as well as abrasive medias, and will glady blast your parts even if they won't be powder coated. Because baking soda is a non-abrasive there is no need to remove or mask glass, chrome, rubber, fiberglass or plastic. That translates to a considerable time savings for our customers. See an example of how gentle soda blasting is on our Shop photo gallery as we stripped a 1971 Corvette. The paint was completely stripped off but the fiberglass was not damaged. In fact the process is so easy on the surface that we can even leave old body filler in tact if desired. Blasting an entire car or truck is by appointment only and will usually be completed the same or next day, a fraction of the time needed to hand sand or chemically strip. Please contact us for more information and pricing.
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative
and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products
that are used by both industries and private consumers. The
powder used for this process is a mixture of finely ground
particles of pigment and resin that is sprayed onto a 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. Color selection
is virtually unlimited with high and low gloss levels, 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 parts 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 and accent parts, truck
beds, radiators, filters and numerous engine parts. Powder
coatings are also used as primer surfacing
and an anti-chip coating on hoods and body panels.
The architectural and building market powder coats aluminum
extrusions used on frames for windows, doors and modular
furniture. Many highway and building projects use powder coating
on light poles, guard rails, signs, posts and fencing.
The Harley-Davidson Motor Company has recognized the advantages
of powder coating for many years. They have used this process
on frames, swing arms, engine components and various other
parts. Harley-Davidson has also included powder coating on virtually
every part of the Dyna Super Glide Sport and Night Train models
with very impressive results.
What can be powder coated?
Any metal part can be powder coated. However, powder coating has some limitations such as excessive heat and high powder cure temperatures. 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 coating. 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 sometimes start to melt.
Why choose powder coating over paint?
- Significantly more durable than
conventional wet paints - extremely resistant to chips,
abrasion, heat, UV light, fuel and chemicals
- Environmentally friendly - no hazardous materials
or disposal concerns
- Can be less expensive than liquid coatings with superior
results possible
- Wide selection of OEM and custom colors available
including translucents and metallics
- Consistent application - no runs, drips or
sags
- Extremely quick - part is ready for service
in less than an hour after heat cure
- Proven award-winning results!
