  • What information do I need to provide to get a quote from PPF?

    Prints, coating specifications, substrate, quantities per lot/annual, and masking requirements will provide the information we need to quote your powder coating, liquid coating, sandblasting, military (CARC) and commercial projects.

  • What is the largest part you can coat?

    • Liquid Coat – 40′ x 14′; If it can fit in our 16’ x 16’ x 40’ long booth, we can coat it.
    • Powder Coat – 24′ x 8′; If it can fit in our 10′ x 10′ x 28′ long booth, we can coat it.
  • What quantity of parts are ideal for you?

    Production Paint Finishers, Inc. is a high production facility, so 1,000, 10,000, on up to 100,000 piece jobs are ideal for all powder coating, liquid coating, sandblasting, military (CARC) and commercial projects. However, we are still a job shop and lower quantities of parts work, too. Note that we are not able to accommodate walk-ins for private individuals’ parts (i.e. bicycle frames, lawn furniture, rims, etc.). Commercial prototypes are no problem.

  • How fast can you turn around my parts?

    Typically we quote a 5-day turnaround, but if we have coating material in stock, we have turned parts in 24 hours. This is not typical, but we try to help when possible.

  • Do you pick up and deliver?

    Yes, we have two 24′ foot box trucks and one semi truck that can typically pick up and deliver to locations within a 2-hour radius of our facility. Please contact us to determine our capabilities/capacity.

  • Do you coat "Class A" finish (automotive, appliance grade etc.)?

    No, we are a commercial-grade coater.

  • How do you determine your price?

    All jobs have exceptions, but typically we determine price by a number of factors: How many parts per hour, part density, part spacing, material cost, weight, cleaning specifications, masking requirements, and packaging.

  • What is CARC paint?

    The U.S. military relies on paint to achieve a variety of visual and mechanical effects, ranging from camouflage, to unit identification, and also the protection of metal surfaces. CARC-painted surfaces resist the absorption of chemical warfare agents, making decontamination much easier to accomplish. Chemical agent resistant coatings—CARC—make up the largest category of paints applied to the U.S. military’s inventory of equipment. CARC’s ability to conceal and protect improves the survivability of tracked and wheeled vehicles, artillery pieces and missile launchers, rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, and support equipment, such as communications vans, water purification units, generators, and forklifts.
