per sq ftWhat drives the price
Six things that move the number.
Size & shape
Bigger parts use more powder and oven space; complex shapes with lots of edges and pockets take longer to blast and coat.
Condition
Bare metal is quickest. Old paint, old powder or heavy rust means stripping and extra blasting — usually the biggest swing in price.
Finish
Solid colors are one coat. Metallics often need a clear, candies are two-stage, and two-tone means masking and a second cure.
Quantity
Setup, racking and the oven cycle are spread across the batch, so per-piece prices drop as quantities rise.
Masking
Threads, bores, bearing seats and sealing faces must be protected. More masking means more labor.
Turnaround
Rush jobs jump the queue and often run dedicated oven cycles, which costs more.

How much does powder coating cost?
Ballpark: about $100–$200 per wheel, $60–$120 per caliper, $70–$150 per patio chair, $250–$550 for a motorcycle frame and $15–$40 per foot of railing. The cost calculator gives a range for your job; a quote gives the real number.
Why do prices vary so much?
Most of the cost is labor: stripping, blasting, masking and handling. Rusty or previously coated parts take longer, complex shapes take longer to blast and coat, and multi-stage finishes need extra coats and cure cycles.
Is there a minimum charge?
Most shops have a minimum per job because every order needs setup, racking and an oven cycle. Small single parts are often cheaper when batched with others.
Why do candy finishes cost more?
A candy is a two-stage system — a bright metallic or chrome-look base, cured, then a tinted translucent topcoat, cured again. Twice the coating, twice the oven time, more care.
