Can’t add a service like bending/forming, countersinking, tapping, hardware insertion, deburring, anodizing, plating, or powder coating to your part after uploading your file to our website and selecting a material? There are a number of reasons why this might be the case. View the full FAQ to learn more.
At SendCutSend we stock over 15 different sheet metal types in a wide range of natural unfinished hues. Additionally, we offer anodizing, plating, and powder coating services that can provide red, yellow, gold, green, blue, white, and black surface finishes.
Our wrinkle black powder coating is fingerprint resistant. All other colors will show fingerprints. These are easily removed by using a soft cloth with mild soap and water.
Bending, countersinking, and tapping services are performed before finishing services. Hardware is installed after anodizing and plating, but before powder coating. Parts with both hardware and powder coating services will have the hardware capped/plugged before being powder coated.
If you choose to add a finishing service (anodizing, plating, or powder coating) to parts, we will apply the finish to the entire part. We’re unable to provide masking or finish specific areas or portions of parts, and not other areas.
Our finishing services can add ~0.0004”-0.01″ to the overall thickness of your parts depending on the finish type (anodizing, plating, or powder coating). See the FAQ or service guidelines for details.
Aluminum, mild steel and stainless steel are the best candidates for powder coating. To confirm which materials and thicknesses are eligible for powder coating, take a look at our powder coating guidelines page.
Powder coating adds 7-10 days to an order’s lead time before shipping. For this reason, we strongly recommend ordering finished and unfinished parts separately so we can ship your non-powder coated parts as soon as they’re ready.
Powder coating adds 7-10 days to an order’s lead time. Check out the complete FAQ and our powder coating guidelines for all details, tips, and considerations!
You can powder coat bent/formed and tapped parts. Please be aware that die witness marks from the press brake will be visible through the coating. Also, you will have to chase any tapped holes to clear the threads once you receive the parts.
We offer powder coating in seven colors: matte black, gloss black, wrinkle black, gloss white, gloss red, gloss yellow, and emerald green.
