Astro Powder Coating & Metal Polishing

I was very impressed with Polo, and the work done by his shop. After some struggles with timing, when I returned to pick it up my lamp, it was beautiful! The one thing I realized is, I didn’t know if my lamp was solid brass. Polo showed me it was, and reassured me he could do the job for $ 150. Yes, in reading the reviews, I might have gotten it done cheaper, but one shop I went to (that is highly recommended) — didn’t bother to educate me that my lamp was solid brass. Polo provided that service and was very kind. The service of taking off old lacquer, polishing and applying new lacquer was much appreciate — thank you, Polo!

I used to go here but since they raised their prices %50 it’s just not worth it and I took my business elsewhere. They wanted to charge me $ 150 for 2 pullies and 1 small bracket. just ridiculous. MAYBE if they bring their prices back to «normal» I would consider going back, but for now… I’ll pass.

Had this place powdercoat and polish some parts for me. Did a good job and on time as promised. but I came back with more and they quoted really really high compared to other local shops and I said ok. dropped off the parts and was told a week, week later they didnt even touch the parts. I took my parts to pyramid and got the job done for almost 50% cheaper and in 3 days.

Took a lot of vintage hardware here to be plated in antique brass. It took 2 weeks but the pieces came out exactly the way I wanted them. They were more reasonable than buying new hardware so I’m happy.
May take a little longer because they are always busy but I’ll be back.

I’ve been using Astro for years on various projects from powder coating to polishing. Astro always delivers a show room finish, and their pricing is competitive with other shops. I deducted one star because the turn around time isn’t always as promised.

I have been using Astro for years and wouldn’t think about going anywhere else. From small detail items to large custom motorcycle or car parts they do it all. Good service and very consistent. I’m happy with their work. You will be too.

If you want quality or even decent powder coating, this is NOT the place for you. I brought 4 wheels to Astro for powder coating. I only wanted the center of the wheel to be powder coated black and the lip of the wheel to remain polished. They told me it would take a week to complete the job. After a week, they told me they needed another day… the next day they told me they needed another… then another. I didn’t mind waiting, just as long as they get the job done correctly. After an additional week, they finally told me my wheels were done. When I inspected the wheels, there was a good amount of excess black powder coating on the polished lip. I asked them to clean it up and they said they would so I left them there for them to take care of it. After 2 days, they told me they were ready. When I inspected them again, the excess powder coating was still all over the polished lip and now there was oxidation on the polished lip as well. Most likely from their attempt to remove the excess powder coating. They told me there wasn’t anything they could do and suggested I, in their own words, «Use a knife to scrape it off and use Mother’s to remove the oxidation». They also said, «It won’t be as noticable when the wheel is on the car». They tried to tell me that the oxidation was there before they worked on the wheels. I know for a fact that there was NO oxidation on any of these wheels. These wheels are $ 800 a piece and didn’t want to fight them on this since they were pretty ademate that this was how things were done. I didn’t want to risk them taking my wheels hostage. Again, if you want your powder coating done right, BEWARE OF ASTRO POWDER COATING!!! I hope this review helps someone.
