Can I get any colour I want in Powder Coat?
There are a lot of standard colours in powder coat, but every colour needs to be formulated and have a small trial batch made to ensure it meets the individual colour requirements.

A huge amount of colours can be made, but the high gloss, metallics and really bright colours are not unlimited in options.
