Powder Coating near Olathe, KS

Powder coating pricing depends on the item, size, and prep work required. Standard single-color wheel powder coating runs $100 to $200 per wheel for most passenger and truck sizes — a set of four typically costs $400 to $800. Two-tone, candy, or chrome-effect finishes cost more due to multiple coating and curing cycles. Brake caliper powder coating runs $50 to $100 per caliper. Suspension parts, brackets, and accessories are quoted individually based on size and complexity. Call 913-291-2027 for a quote on your specific project.

Typical turnaround for wheel powder coating is 3 to 7 business days, depending on current workload and complexity. Standard single-color jobs on wheels that do not need significant repair are at the faster end. Two-tone finishes, candy coats, or wheels needing curb rash repair before coating take longer. Smaller items like calipers and brackets often turn around in 2 to 3 days. We will give you an estimated completion date when you drop off your parts.

For durability, yes. Powder coating is electrostatically applied as a dry powder and then cured in an oven at 350 to 450 degrees, creating a chemical bond with the metal surface. This produces a finish that is 2 to 3 times thicker and significantly harder than conventional paint. Powder coat resists rock chips, curb scuffs, brake dust corrosion, and road salt better than even the best automotive paint. The trade-off is that powder coating requires disassembly (removing tires) and oven curing, making it a more involved process — but the results last far longer.

We are at 12310 W 62nd Ter, Shawnee, KS 66216 — approximately 15 minutes from Olathe. Take I-35 North from downtown Olathe and the Santa Fe Street area, or K-7 North from western Olathe near Great Plains Parkway. We are easy to find right off I-35. Many Olathe customers drop off their wheels (mounted on the vehicle or as bare wheels) and pick up when the job is complete — no need to wait at the shop.

Absolutely — this is one of our most popular services. OEM wheels in factory silver, dark gray, or machined finish can be completely transformed with powder coating. Gloss black is the most requested OEM wheel color change, followed by matte black, bronze, gunmetal, and custom color matches. We strip the factory finish, prep the surface, and apply the new powder coat for a result that looks factory-applied. It is a cost-effective way to give your vehicle a custom look without buying new wheels.

Yes. Minor to moderate curb damage can be repaired before powder coating. We fill gouges, sand scratches, and reshape damaged edges so the final powder coat finish looks smooth and uniform. Severe curb damage with deep material loss or structural bends may require wheel repair or replacement rather than cosmetic refinishing. We assess the damage when you bring in your wheels and let you know what level of repair is needed before proceeding.

Yes — powder coated calipers are more durable than painted calipers. We remove your calipers, disassemble them from brackets and hardware, media blast to bare metal, and apply high-temperature powder coat rated for the heat that braking generates. Popular caliper colors include red, yellow, blue, orange, and custom color matches to your vehicle or wheel color. Powder coated calipers resist brake dust discoloration and environmental wear far better than brush-on or spray caliper paint.

Yes, but it requires professional removal. Powder coating is designed to be permanent and durable — which is the whole point — but it can be stripped through chemical stripping or media blasting if you want to change colors or return to a bare metal surface. Many customers re-coat their wheels in a new color after several years when they change their vehicle's look. The stripping and re-coating process is the same as the initial job, so re-coating a set of wheels costs the same as the original powder coat service.
