Powder coating is a dry metal finishing method that protects ferrous items against corrosion and wear with long-lasting durability and performance. The powder coating cost varies significantly from one applicator to the next, but some established factors affect its price. They are:
· Color and texture of powder
· The surface area of the treated objects
· Application method
· Whether pretreatment is required or not
How to Minimize the Cost of Powder Coating?
Applicators mostly offer a variable rate rather than a flat rate for powder coating. Depending on the complexity of the project, they will provide an estimate based on variable rates for mass jobs or a flat rate per item.
The powder coating cost decreases as its quantity increases. Thus, high-volume powder coating projects tend to be cheaper in the long run than small-batch orders.
Most applicators purchase powder from the manufacturer directly. The price varies from one manufacturer to the next, and also depends on the color, texture, and desired finish. To save costs here, you can directly approach the manufacturer yourself and inquire about prices from them.
Remember, that if your objects need to be cleaned with pretreatment options like sandblasting, the cost of your project would increase. If you do not have objects in volume, you can use chemical strippers yourself to thoroughly clean metal components and save on pretreatment services.
