Powdercoating

Powdercoating is a process in which colored powder is electrically applied to metal. The metal (in our case a bike) is then baked in an oven for about 15 to 20 minutes at around 220 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit, then dipped in cold water.

At this point you might be wondering, "Why not just paint the thing, with, ya know, paint?" There is a very simple answer for this – powdercoating is tough. Tough as nails. The process is so strong that it is frequently used for exterior architecture. Surely, this is a testament of its durability if it can withstand wind, debris, and whatever else assaults buildings.

Another very important quality of powdercoating is that color choices are virtually limitless, therefore, we can build a bike and have it 'coated to match the riders personal style. The different colors, naturally, have different properties; certain powders contain more epoxy and are therefore harder and other powders with more polyurethane produce brighter shades. Everything you own and wear is some ridiculously bright cyan color? Great! We can build a bike and have it powdercoated that shade too, but may we suggest some color variance for your wardrobe? Perhaps a shade of brown.
