Most powder coating and Cerakote projects are completed within 3–7 business days. Larger parts, heavy rust removal, multi-stage finishes, or specialty colors can extend turnaround time. Every job includes blasting, prep, coating, and curing, and we provide a clear timeline before work begins.

Powder Coating
Where Precision Process Meets Long-Lasting Protection
Durable. Consistent. Built to Last.
Powder coating is one of the toughest and most reliable ways to protect and finish metal parts. NXT LVL applies professional-grade powder finishes that
deliver long-term durability, clean aesthetics, and dependable performance—whether your project is functional, cosmetic, or both.
How Powder Coating Works
Powder coating is a dry coating process that uses electrostatically charged powder instead of liquid paint. After application, the part is baked in an oven where the powder melts into a smooth, durable finish. This creates a coating that’s typically stronger than paint, resisting chips, rust, and fading while delivering an even finish without runs or sags.
The Powder Coating Process
Every project starts with thorough cleaning and surface preparation to ensure proper adhesion. Once the surface is ready, we apply powder using an electrostatic spray method so coverage stays even across edges, corners, and detailed areas. Finally, parts are cured in an oven where the coating flows out smooth and bonds into a tough, long-lasting finish built for real-world use.

- Surface Cleaning & Degreasing: Removes oil, dirt, and contaminants so the coating bonds properly.
- Media Blasting / Surface Prep: Strips rust or old coatings and creates the ideal texture for adhesion.
- Parts Hung & Grounded: The part is racked and grounded so powder clings evenly during application.
- Electrostatic Powder Application: Charged powder is sprayed onto the metal, coating edges and details consistently.
- Cured in an Oven: Heat melts the powder and chemically cures it into a durable, solid finish.
- Cooling & Final Inspection: Parts cool down and are checked for smooth coverage and quality.
Trusted Across Industries and Applications
NXT LVL Coatings works on a wide range of powder coating projects — from individual custom parts to full component sets and fabricated assemblies. Our experience spans automotive, powersports, industrial, and architectural applications, giving us the flexibility to handle both performance-driven and appearance-focused finishes.
We regularly coat automotive and off-road components such as frames, suspension parts, brackets, and wheels — parts that require durable finishes capable of handling heat, impact, and harsh environments. For motorcycle and ATV projects, we provide clean, consistent coatings that hold up to vibration, exposure, and real-world use.
Our shop also handles industrial and fabricated metal parts, delivering uniform, corrosion-resistant finishes suited for demanding conditions. In addition, we powder coat railings, furniture, and custom metalwork, where long-term durability and visual consistency are equally important.
Whether it’s a single part refresh or a multi-piece build, powder coating provides a tough, professional finish — and we’ve coated enough parts to know how to do it right.

Common Powder Coating Questions
Quick answers to help you decide if powder coating is right for your project.
Yes, professional blasting and surface prep are included with every coating project. Blasting removes rust, paint, scale, and contaminants to ensure proper adhesion. Proper prep is the foundation of a durable, long-lasting finish.
Getting a quote is simple—send photos, part size, material type, and desired finish. We review your project and provide clear pricing, prep requirements, and turnaround time. This ensures there are no surprises before work begins.
Yes, standard blasting and surface prep are typically included in coating prices. If a part has severe rust, multiple old coatings, or requires specialty media, we’ll discuss any additional cost up front.
Powder coating is significantly more durable than traditional liquid paint. It resists chipping, scratching, UV damage, chemicals, and corrosion. The baked-on finish provides long-term protection for parts exposed to wear and weather.
No, rust must be completely removed before powder coating. Any corrosion left behind can cause coating failure. We use professional blasting to ensure a clean, properly prepared surface.
Minor damage can sometimes be touched up, but most repairs require stripping and recoating. Powder coating cannot be blended like paint, so full refinishing usually gives the best result.
We offer hundreds of color and finish options for both powder coating and Cerakote. Choices include gloss, satin, matte, metallics, textures, and OEM-style colors. Whether you want a factory-correct look or a bold custom finish, we’ll help you choose the right coating for your project.
Yes, we mask and protect critical surfaces before coating. Threads, bores, bearing surfaces, and mating areas can be plugged or masked to ensure proper fit and function after curing.
Yes, most coating jobs have a minimum charge due to setup, prep, and curing time. Even small parts require the same process steps, so minimum pricing helps cover labor and materials.
Rush service may be available depending on our production schedule. Expedited projects can require adjustments and may include an additional fee. Let us know your deadline early so we can plan accordingly.
Powder coating can last 15–20 years or more depending on use and environment. It offers excellent resistance to fading, chipping, and corrosion. Proper prep and application are key to maximizing lifespan.
Yes, powder coating provides a strong barrier against moisture and corrosion. When applied to properly prepared metal, it helps prevent rust from forming. Additional primers can be used for extreme environments.
Yes, multi-color and two-tone powder coating is available. These finishes require extra masking and curing steps, which can increase time and cost. We’ll review your design goals and provide a detailed quote.
