When you want enhanced protection and durability for your vehicle, it’s time to consider powder coating for ATV & UTV parts. ATVs and UTVs take more abuse than most vehicles when traveling through mud, rocks, sand, creek crossings, road salt, UV exposure, and constant impact and wear. Unlike paint coatings, powder coating helps restore worn parts while adding a durable finish designed for off-road use.
Our team at Powder Craft has been powder coating since 1993. With all of our prep work completed in-house and a unique pyrolytic cleaning oven, we make sure your ATV and UTV parts are ready for the road. Learn more about our services and next steps.

Thorough Prep Work Protects the Quality of the Finish
One of the most important steps of a good powder coating is the prep work. The integrity of the finish depends on the surface preparation. We have the only pyrolytic cleaning oven in Northern California to remove grease, oils, old coatings, and contaminants.
Depending on what’s going on with your parts, we may recommend media blasting to remove any remaining residue and go through a multi-stage cleaning. The goal is to remove all contaminants before they go through the curing process. Otherwise, it could turn into bubbles from outgassing. With an epoxy primer and final powder coat, we always put all our items through a quality control inspection to make sure they look incredible.
Should You Powder Coat New Parts or Old Parts?
Powder coating for ATV/UTV parts can include either new or old parts. We work on everything from brand-new aftermarket parts to rusty OEM parts. If the metal is too compromised, broken, or vulnerable, it may not be a good candidate for powder coating. When possible, we also recommend coating parts before installing them on your vehicle to protect them for the long-haul.
