  • Costs:
  • Powder is a one step process that results in finished parts within 2 hours.

    Painting requires priming (24 hours), finish coat (24 hours), and clean up (unknown).

  • Since there are no permits or regulations for powder, there are no hidden or extra costs.

  • Salt spray durability testing yields 150 hours for paint and 1500+ hours for powder.

    Paint's regulatory costs are estimated at between 15 - 20% of the cost of materials.

    Raw Material Costs Example:

    Powder:
    -Material- -Cost- -Total-
    3.2 lbs of Powder $4.00/lb $12.80

    Paint:
    -Material- -Cost- -Total-
    1 Gal Paint $7.25/gal  
    1 Gal Primer $6.50/gal  
    1/2 Gal Thinner $2.75  
    1/3 Gal Reducer $3.80  
      Total > $20.30

  • This comparison does not include the additional regulatory costs or lost time costs of drying. It also doesn't include the labor for other processes.

  • We believe that the health risks associated with the application of wet paints speak for themselves.
