How Much Does Powder Coating Cost?

While the cost of powder coating greatly varies from one applicator to the next, it is mainly calculated by area, preparation method, number, and required labor. 

 Powder coating has become the preferred surface treatment method due to its superior corrosion resistance, durability, and long-lasting life. It is also more environmentally friendly than liquid paint and doesn't release organic volatile compounds into the atmosphere. 

 From automotive items to commercial objects, powder coating is widely used across all industries. If you want to know the powder coating cost for your next project, you are at the right place. 

 Powder Coating Cost of Common Items

Generally speaking, automotive parts are the most expensive to powder coat owing to their larger surface area and pretreatment requirements. Objects like rims, wheels, and frames have to brave harsh weather conditions every day, leading to tough coatings that have a long life. Automotive parts are generally coated in batches and calculated item-wise, ranging between $20-25 per item. 

 On the other hand, architectural elements like railings, window and door frames, and furniture usually cost less due to the smaller surface area. These items are calculated on a per-square footage basis.

 It is worth mentioning that pretreatment services like sandblasting will increase the overall cost of the project. The average cost of sandblasting is $100 in the US, though it may be more for larger or intricate objects. 

 Here is the powder coating cost of common items:

  Automobile Bumper $180 - $320

Motorcycle and ATV frames $250

Radiators $200 - $350

Furniture $100

Window frames and door handles $50 - $75 each

Beds $100 - $200

Fences and gates $6 - $ 8 per square foot

Railings $8 - $14 per linear foot
