Powder Coating in Bluffdale, Utah.
Wheels, calipers, bumpers, brackets and trim, blasted, coated and baked to a finish that outlasts paint. Hundreds of colors, gloss to matte, with a turnaround measured in days, not weeks.
Quick answer
Powder coating is a dry finish applied electrostatically to bare metal and cured in an oven at roughly 400°F, forming a single continuous shell that is several times thicker than wet paint. Zeal Restyling powder coats wheels, brake calipers, trim, suspension and chassis parts in Bluffdale, Utah, with in house stripping, blasting, coating and curing and a typical 3 to 5 day turnaround. A properly prepped finish routinely lasts 10+ years against road salt, UV and chips.

Why powder, not paint
A finish that's baked on, not sprayed on.
Powder is applied dry, electrostatically charged to the bare metal, then cured into a single continuous shell. There's no solvent to flash off and no clear coat to delaminate, which is exactly why it survives Utah winters and canyon roads.
Chip resistance
A powder film is several times thicker than wet paint and stays flexible enough to take rock strikes without spidering.
Salt & brine proof
Wasatch Front road salt eats clear coat and bare alloy. Cured powder seals the substrate completely, edges included.
UV stable color
Properly cured polyester powders hold their gloss and color for years of full sun instead of chalking out.
Heat tolerant
High temp powders for calipers and exhaust hardware handle sustained heat that would discolor ordinary paint.
What we coat
If it's metal and it comes off the car, we can finish it.
Wheels
Full color change, factory refresh, or two tone lip and face. Tires dismounted, TPMS protected, rebalanced on the way out.
Brake calipers
High temp powder in OEM red, factory look black, or anything loud. Logos masked, or new decals applied.
Chrome delete
Grilles, window surrounds, badges and mirror caps taken from chrome to satin or gloss black permanently.
Suspension & chassis
Control arms, subframes, sway bars, skid plates and roll bars, stripped, blasted and sealed against corrosion.
Moto & ATV
Frames, swingarms, hubs, racks and bumpers. Bring the bare parts or the whole assembly.
Household & industrial
Patio furniture, railings, gates, shelving and shop fixtures. Same oven, same durability.
Colors and finishes
Over 200 powders, and a physical chip before you commit.
Screens lie about color. We pull real chips from our supplier books and hold them against your car in daylight, because a bronze that looks perfect on a phone can read green next to your paint.
Gloss
The hardest wearing and the easiest to clean. Deep shine that holds up to wheel cleaner and winter salt.
Satin and matte
Flat and modern, and very good at hiding brake dust. Needs slightly gentler cleaning than gloss.
Metallic
Flake suspended in the powder so the color moves with the light. Usually finished with a clear powder over the top.
Candy over a base
A translucent color sprayed over a bright base, then cleared. Depth you cannot get from a single stage, and the reason Tier 3 exists.
Textured and wrinkle
Hides imperfections on older castings and grips well underfoot. Common on chassis parts, racks and skid plates.
Factory color match
Send a paint code or a photo and we will pull the closest powder available and show you the chip before anything goes in the booth.
Same vehicle, same wheels. The factory machined faces were stripped to bare metal, blasted to a uniform profile, coated gloss black and fully cured, then remounted and balanced. Nothing filled, nothing painted over.
Colors shown anywhere on a screen are an approximation. We confirm with a physical chip against your vehicle before the part is coated.
The process
Six steps. No shortcuts in the prep.
Ninety percent of a powder failure traces back to contamination before the gun ever comes out. This is where the time goes.
Teardown & inspection
Tires dismounted, hardware bagged, TPMS sensors pulled. We document existing curb rash, bends and cracks before anything else happens.
Strip & blast
Old coating removed chemically or thermally, then media blasted to a uniform profile so the new powder has something to bite into.
Chemical wash & outgas
Degreased, rinsed, dried, then prebaked so porous castings release trapped oils instead of bubbling through your finish.
Masking
Hub bores, bearing surfaces, threads and sealing beads get high temp masking so nothing critical picks up thickness.
Coat & cure
Electrostatic application, then a full cure schedule at roughly 400°F. Multistage colors get a base, a candy or metallic layer, and a clear.
QC & reassembly
Coverage checked under light, hardware reinstalled, tires remounted and balanced, torqued to spec and handed back clean.
