Powder Coating & Surface Finishing Solutions

The average cost to powder coat depends on part size, geometry, surface condition, masking needs, colour selection, and batch volume. Industrial components with complex shapes or tighter finish requirements typically cost more because they require more preparation and inspection. Marcus supports production-focused finishing with in-house pre-treatment, controlled application, and batch certification, which helps customers evaluate total value beyond coating price alone.

Marcus offers a broad in-house surface finishing range including powder coating, wet painting, chrome and nickel electroplating, cathodic e-coat, anodising, PVD coating, shot blasting, bead blasting, vibro polishing, chromation, resin impregnation, and heat treatment. This allows customers to source multiple finishing requirements through one manufacturing partner while maintaining process control, testing consistency, and coordinated delivery.

Marcus supports finishing for aluminium, zinc, and magnesium die castings, along with other metallic components used in industrial, automotive, aerospace, and consumer applications. The right finishing method depends on the base material, required corrosion resistance, appearance target, and end-use conditions. Pre-treatment is matched to the substrate to improve adhesion, durability, and overall finish performance.

Marcus powder coating is designed for strong durability, with thermoset polyester or epoxy systems available in a wide range of RAL colours and textures. The process includes degreasing, acid cleaning, and zinc phosphate pre-treatment before coating. Finished batches are tested to ASTM B117, and the coating can deliver 500 to 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance along with UV stability and impact toughness.

Marcus verifies finished parts through ASTM B117 salt spray testing, XRF coating thickness checks, adhesion cross-hatch testing, and inline dry film thickness monitoring where applicable. These checks help confirm coating integrity, corrosion resistance, and consistency across production batches. Full batch certificates are provided on every shipment, supporting traceability and customer quality documentation requirements.

Yes. Marcus supports decorative finishes such as Class A chrome appearance and premium coated surfaces, as well as functional finishes focused on corrosion protection, wear resistance, conductivity, or dimensional consistency. This includes powder coating, plating, anodising, and other treatments selected according to the component's application, environmental exposure, and performance requirements.

Yes. Marcus offers surface finishing alongside die casting, CNC machining, assembly, tool room support, and partner-managed manufacturing processes. This integrated model helps customers reduce supplier fragmentation, improve scheduling control, and receive finished components ready for downstream assembly or shipment. It is especially useful for OEM and industrial programs that require tighter coordination across multiple production stages.

Marcus supports customers in automotive, EV, aerospace, electronics, healthcare, energy, and industrial manufacturing. These sectors often require finishes that balance appearance, corrosion resistance, dimensional reliability, and documented quality compliance. Because Marcus operates under IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001 certified systems, its finishing services are well suited to demanding production environments and regulated supply chains.
