In this episode of Cutting Corners we have Part 2 of “How Much Do Sheet Metal Parts Really Cost?” On this episode Jim and Jake focus on the pricing of SendCutSend’s finishing services and compare the costs of our three main options for sheet metal: Powder Coating, Anodizing, and Zinc Plating.

Whether you’re working with aluminum, mild steel, or stainless steel, we break down the pros and cons of each finish, including the cost, durability, and the types of projects each one is best suited for. We explain why Powder Coating is often the most affordable option, and why Anodizing and Zinc Plating can sometimes be more labor-intensive.

If you’re new to metal finishes we’ll help you make an informed decision on the best finish for your parts, and what it will cost you.
