Powder coating
in Montreal

Powder coating is a finish applied dry, with no solvent. The powder, made of resin and pigments, picks up an electric charge in the spray gun. The metal part is grounded, so the powder clings to it evenly, even in recesses.

The part then goes into the oven. Heat melts the powder, which hardens into a continuous film that is thicker and tougher than ordinary liquid paint. At Chromatique, every part is first degreased, rinsed and pretreated with zirconium so the finish bonds well.

The price depends on five things: the size of the parts, the quantity, the preparation needed (sandblasting, stripping an old coating), the colour and number of coats, and the masking required.

So two parts of the same size do not always cost the same. A new part in bare metal takes less work than a rusted or previously painted one, and a three-coat finish takes longer than a solid colour.

The minimum order is $350 before taxes. The quote is free. Fill in the quote request with the type of parts, the quantity, the dimensions and the colour you want: you get a price in less than 24 hours.

Our standard turnaround is 5 business days per order. Rush orders can be done in 1 to 2 business days, with a rush fee, when the colour is in stock. A large order with custom colours and several coats takes 10 to 15 business days.

A special colour that is not in stock at our suppliers has to be ordered, which can add time. You get your quote in less than 24 hours (business days), whatever the complexity of the project, with a realistic timeline: if a date or a request is beyond what we can do, we tell you right away. If you have a deadline, enter it in the form.

Almost every colour exists as a powder. We work with the catalogues of Prismatic Powders, Protech, Erie Powder Coatings and TIGER Coatings, among others, as well as RAL colours.

For finishes, you can choose solid, metallic, transparent, textured or wrinkle, in gloss, satin or matte. Our standard finish is a colour coat plus a clear top coat; a primer or a third coat is added when needed.

See the Colours and suppliers page to browse the catalogues, then give us the name or code of the colour.

Yes. We work with individuals who bring in four wheels or one automotive part, and with manufacturers who send us recurring runs. The process is the same in both cases: pretreatment, application, cure.

We run three batches a day, about 66 a month, and can double that capacity with an evening and night shift. Our 40 rolling racks take almost any shape of part, or batches of small parts, about twenty per rack.

In the quote form, enter the quantity and choose “one-time order” or “recurring order”. For a production run, give the expected volume per month or per year: it lets us plan the racks and offer you a suitable price.
