Powder coatings are available in a variety of colors, categorized by gloss level, texture, and specialty effects.
Gloss Levels
High Gloss (80–100% reflectivity) - Provides a stylish, mirror-like finish, commonly used in automotive applications.
Semi-Gloss (40–79% reflectivity) - Balances sparkle and subtlety, ideal for architectural coatings.
Matte (10–39% reflectivity) - Reduces glare and creates a sophisticated, soft appearance.
Textured Finishes
Glossy Finish - A clean, even surface with consistent color.
Wrinkled or Rippled Finish - Adds a tactile, decorative texture, commonly used in consumer electronics.
Hammered Finish - Mimics hammered metal, ideal for industrial and outdoor applications.
Sand and Rough Texture - Enhances the grip and glide of functional coatings.
Metallic and Pearl Effects
Metallic powder coatings - Contain aluminum, mica, or other metal-based pigments to create a shimmering or reflective surface.
Pearlescent Finish - Uses special additives to achieve iridescence. Color-shifting effects vary depending on viewing angle.
Transparent and Translucent Coatings
Candy Colors - Deep, vibrant hues that allow the underlying metal layer to show through.
Tinted Clears - Provide subtle hues while preserving the substrate's natural texture.
Special Effect and Functional Coatings
Chrome and Mirror-Like Finishes - Mimic the look of polished metal while maintaining the durability of powder coatings.
Dark and Fluorescent Coatings - For security applications and unique aesthetic designs.
Anti-Foul Coatings - Create surface resistance to stains and graffiti removal chemicals.
Heat-Resistant Coatings - Maintain color integrity in high-temperature environments, such as exhaust systems and industrial ovens.
