Service Areas / San Diego

Commercial, industrial and wheel powder coating for every part of the city, blasted and cured in one shop on Production Avenue.

One shop, every stage of the job. Here is what San Diego customers bring us most:

• Commercial and residential powder coating for railings, gates, fencing, signage, furniture and fixtures.
• Industrial powder coating for production runs, machine frames, beams and oversized fabrications.
• Sandblasting to strip rust, old paint and failed powder back to bare metal.
• Wheel and rim powder coating with same-day turnaround Monday through Friday.
• Pickup and delivery for jobs that are too big or too many to haul yourself.

San Diego is hard on metal. Downtown in 92101, the Gaslamp Quarter and East Village are full of steel railings, balcony rails, bike racks and storefront frames that bake in the sun all day and pick up moisture from the bay every night. Along the Embarcadero and near the Port of San Diego, salt air speeds up rust on anything left with a thin paint finish.

Farther inland, Mission Valley in 92108 is where you will find our work at Snapdragon Stadium. Stadium signage, parking structure rails and commercial gates there see heavy crowds, weather and cleaning chemicals, which is why the owners specified a cured powder finish instead of paint.

Our shop sits in the Miramar and Mira Mesa industrial area, so contractors, fabricators and property managers in Kearny Mesa, Clairemont and Sorrento Valley can drop parts on their way through. Customers downtown usually let us come to them. See real jobs from around the county in our powder coating project gallery.

Most of the San Diego work that comes through our door is commercial: railings for apartment complexes, gates for HOAs, dimensional letters for sign shops, benches and trash receptacles for public works. These parts share one problem. They live outside, they get touched, kicked and pressure-washed, and nobody wants to repaint them every two years.

Powder coating fixes that because the finish is cured, not dried. Every part is blasted to bare metal first, then coated electrostatically so the powder wraps edges and welds, then baked until it cross-links into one hard layer. That is why the city benches and trash cans we coat keep their color through years of sun and foot traffic.

If you are managing a larger job, our industrial and high-volume coating service holds color and film thickness consistent from the first part to the last, and we can work from your drawings or mark-ups.

• Everything in-house. Blasting, masking, coating and curing happen in one building, so nothing waits on a second shop.
• Proven on landmark jobs. Snapdragon Stadium signage, Rady Children's Hospital metalwork, General Atomics industrial parts.
• Same-day rims. Drop wheels off in the morning and pick them up that afternoon, Monday to Friday.
• Central location. Downtown San Diego is about 20 to 25 minutes from our Production Ave shop via I-15 and SR-163, and Mission Valley is closer to 15.
