THE ALLIANCE HOBBY CUSTOM HOUSE

This page shows some of the powder coating and polishing work I perform.

Powder coating is a literally baked-on finish that can be applied to nearly any metal object.
The baked powder is infinitely more durable than spray painting and looks amazing, too!

I have over a dozen colors to choose from and can always order a certain color at the buyer's request.

My polishing-only process involves removing any factory coating to achieve a high-shine, polished look.
Where appropriate, wax will be applied to keep corrosion and fingerprints to a minimum.

Not every color is listed on the product pages, but any color I have in stock can be used.
The following list contains all the colors I have in stock. I can always purchase specific colors to the buyer's request.

SEND ME YOUR PARTS!

If you already have the pieces you want polished or powdered, please email me and I'll send back a quote.
My prices are significantly lower than what you would pay at a professional powder house.


Powder Coating Options
(any metal part that can withstand 400°F for 20 minutes)
  • Bright Yellow (a normal yellow)
  • Gold (slightly less "flakey" brass)
  • Brass (looks reasonably close to actual brass metal)
  • Orange (creamsicle orange)
  • Ford Light Blue (robin's egg blue)
  • Pearl Opal Metallic (lightly flakes medium green)
  • Dark Green (not really that dark)
  • Olive Drab Green (have yet to use it)
  • Argent Silver Base (popular medium silver)
  • Reflective Chrome (tries to be real Chrome... and fails)
  • OEM Wheel Sparkle Silver (sparkly silver, looks good)
  • Machine Gray (unused)
  • Cast Aluminum (sorta like silver)
  • Cast Iron (brownish)
  • Copper Vein (one of my favorites... see photos)
  • Architectural Bronze (deep brown)
  • Flat Black (closest to "gun blue" that you're gonna get)
  • Gloss Black (wet looking gloss)
  • Gloss White (unused)
  • Black Stardust (black metallic flake)
  • Silver Vein (Google it!)
  • Red Metallic Flake (amazing)
  • Full Gloss Clear (protective top coat)
  • Mirror Black (deep, glossy black)
  • Mirror Blue (medium-deep, glossy blue)
  • Mirror Red (deep, glossy red)
  • Rat Rod Textured Black (mildly sparkly black)
Polishing (blue removal + wax)
  • Polished ("gun blue" removal + wax topcoat)
Bluing (deblue, polish, degrease, reblue)
  • Bluing is a chemical process performed on ferrous steel, including most gun parts. My bluing is nothing special, but typically results in better coatings than normal Crosman barrels.

Hydrographic Film Coating

  • Anything that can tolerate 60 seconds of water immersion.

  • Digital Camo

  • Woodland Camo
  • Burlwood Wood Grain
  • Snake Skin

Film Coating Unavailable! Sorry!

COPPER VEIN

Copper Vein is probably my favorite powder to use. It looks great on gun parts and has a deep texture which hides manufacturer defects well.

A buyer wanted the above three pieces done in Copper Vein. They came out amazing!
