Honda Gold Wing Front Motor Cover Restoration

According to Panama's top motorcycle mechanic Toño Cabassa, these motor covers on all Gold Wings tend to take quite the beating from rock and debris. This one came off his personal bike - the paint was all chipped off giving way for some baby pitting. After NQF restoration this is the final result on Gloss Black. Guaranteed to withstand what's coming - again, better than factory.

GE Breaker Panel Doors Restoration

Completely restored GE Breaker Panel Doors. These came from a house in the Mountains of Cerro Azul where the corrosion factor is as high as it gets - the panels where completely rusted out.

What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.

Most Common Applications

Any objects made from metal (aluminum, steel, brass, copper, bronze, titanium, magnesium, etc.) can be powder coated. All of these metals, weather sand, die, investment casting, extruded, forged, and of course billet metals can be powder coated. Low density cast parts may require additional handling and possibly surface restoration by the experienced technicians at NQF. 

Some of the items that we powder coat include: patio and indoor furniture, decorative architectural pieces, car, boat, plane, bicycle and motorcycle parts (including chassis, frames and exhaust systems), birdcages, wheels, plumbing and lighting fixtures, metal cabinetry (i.e. medicine cabinets, etc), appliances (front and side panels of ranges and refrigerators, washer tops and lids, dryer drums, air conditioner cabinets, water heaters, dishwasher racks, cavities of microwave ovens), and more much more!

Media Blasting

Preparation of your parts is essential before coating them, that's where Media Blasting comes in on every job we do to assure you get the best results. Media Blasting ‘etches’ the surface of the metal, creating a solid mechanical bond adhesion during the curing process. It also cleanses the metal. We use very fine angular media because it gives the best results for powder coating adhesion. We also use Glass Bead Media, especially for aluminum to reflects the light to your eyes better, and make teh metal appear whiter or brighter.
