How long does powder coating last?

Properly applied and cured powder coating on aluminum can last 15-20+ years outdoors. AAMA 2604 and 2605 architectural finishes carry manufacturer warranties for color and gloss retention in exterior environments.

What colors are available for powder coating?

ARCHEX offers 200+ RAL and custom colors in matte, satin, gloss, textured, and metallic finishes, with color matching to most brand or project specifications.

Is powder coating better than paint for outdoor aluminum?

Yes. Powder coating is thicker, harder, and more resistant to chipping, fading, and corrosion than wet paint, with no solvents or VOCs. It is the preferred finish for architectural aluminum in coastal and high-UV climates like Florida.

Can you powder coat parts I supply?

Yes. We coat customer-supplied aluminum components in addition to the awnings, battens, cladding, and extrusions we fabricate. Contact us with your part dimensions and quantities for a quote.

How much does powder coating cost?

Cost depends on part size, quantity, color, and finish specification. Send your project details for a fast, no-obligation estimate.
