Craft Your Ride: Custom Powder Coating for Your Dream Bike

Choosing the Perfect Color: Custom Powder Coating for Your Dream Bike

When it comes to creating your dream bike, the ability to customize its color is the ultimate expression of personal style. Some riders come to us with a clear vision, inspired by their favorite sports team, car, or a long-held idea. Others find themselves overwhelmed by endless possibilities—choosing any color can be daunting!

To make the process easier, we’re sharing why we use powder coating for our custom colors and offering tips on narrowing down your perfect choice.

Why We Choose Powder Coating For Our Custom Colors

Powder coating isn’t just a finish—it’s a superior choice for durability, longevity, and sustainability. Here’s why we stand by this method:

1. Durability

• Scratch and Chip Resistance: Powder coating creates a thick, hard finish that withstands the rigors of regular use far better than liquid paint.
• Whether you're hitting rugged trails or cruising through city streets, this coating keeps your bike looking brand new.

2. Longevity

• Powder coating lasts longer than traditional paint thanks to its robust adhesion and resistance to environmental factors.
• It resists fading under UV rays, stands up to moisture, and handles extreme temperatures without breaking a sweat.

3. Environmental Benefits

• Eco-Friendly: Powder coating uses dry powder, avoiding harmful solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Custom Color Options

We work with Prismatic Powders, a leading provider with over 6,000 color variations. Browse their website here to explore ideas for your dream build. If you already have something in mind, we can help refine your vision and suggest options that work well.

Types of Powder Coats

We use Polyester Powder Coats exclusively because of their UV resistance and durability. Within this category, there are two main finishes:

• Solid Colors: Our go-to for vibrant, long-lasting results.
• Metallic Colors: Vibrant hues that reflect light and can change colors.

💡 Note: We cannot apply clear or transparent colors over raw steel frames.

Added Customization

When you opt for a custom powder coat, you’ll also get to choose:

• Raw Aluminum or Black Anodized Suspension Rockers: Both options complement the finish beautifully, giving your bike a polished, cohesive look.
