Guide To Colour Selection

Choosing the right powder coating colour is about more than just appearance. The right finish should suit your style, environment, durability needs and long-term maintenance.

Start With The Finish

Powder coating colours are available in gloss, satin, matte, textured, metallic and specialty finishes. For outdoor or high-use items, durability and UV resistance are just as important as the colour itself.

Gloss

Bright, smooth and reflective. Great for bold feature pieces.

Satin

Balanced sheen with a modern, clean appearance.

Matte

Low-reflection finish for a subtle, premium look.

Texture

Helps hide marks and suits heavy-use parts.

What To Consider

Indoor Or Outdoor Use

Outdoor items need coatings with strong UV resistance and weather durability.

Colour Matching

For trays, canopies and automotive parts, bring a colour code, sample or photo where possible.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Darker gloss finishes may show dust and marks more easily than satin or textured finishes.

Application Type

Wheels, gates, furniture, fabrication and architectural metalwork may all suit different finishes.

Colour Selection Tips

• View colours in natural light where possible
• Choose outdoor-rated powders for exterior jobs
• Ask about gloss level before approving your colour
• Consider textured finishes for heavy-use items
• Supply a colour code for OEM or colour match jobs
• Remember screen colours may not match the real powder finish
