“I was immediately impressed with the communication and turnaround time. I was quoted a figure, and they held to it. That almost never happens with any work I have done on this custom truck.”

Powder Coating for Cambridge, MA
We do not have a shop in Cambridge. Everything is coated at our Warwick, Rhode Island shop, usually a little over an hour south depending on how Storrow Drive and I-93 are moving.

The short answer
Powder coating for Cambridge drivers and businesses
Ocean State Powder Coating serves Cambridge customers from its shop at 100 Minnesota Ave in Warwick, RI. The drive is typically a little over an hour via I-93 and I-95, longer at rush hour. All work is done in Warwick, and you can text a photo for a ballpark price before the trip.
Cambridge is a dense city with a lot of old metal: iron railings on triple-deckers and brick rowhouses, cast iron radiators in older apartments, patio furniture on small decks and roof gardens. Wheels take their share of abuse too, from tight parallel parking and narrow streets.
Text us a photo of what you want coated. We send back a ballpark price, and the final number is set when the part is at the shop.
Tight curbs and salted streets
Parallel parking on streets around Harvard Square, Inman Square and Central Square is where most Cambridge curb rash comes from. Granite curbs are unforgiving, and one bad scrape takes the finish off a wheel lip in a second.
In winter, Memorial Drive, Mass Ave and the McGrath Highway area all get salt and brine. That salt works into the scrapes and starts corrosion under the clear coat. We strip, blast and repair the lip before coating, so the new finish goes on bare metal.
Railings, radiators and home metal
Older Cambridge homes in neighborhoods like Mid-Cambridge, Cambridgeport and North Cambridge often have iron porch railings and cast iron radiators that have been painted over many times. Powder coating starts from blasted metal instead of adding another layer on top.
Patio tables and chairs are another common job. Bring them in clean and we will strip, blast and coat them in a color from the Prismatic Powders library.
Making the drive simple
Plenty of Cambridge residents do not drive every day, so we suggest planning a single trip. Text photos of everything you want done, get the ballpark, then bring it all down together during shop hours, Monday to Friday.
For wheels, bring them with the tires on. We dismount, coat, remount and balance in one building.

Powder coating in Cambridge: questions
No. Parts are brought to our shop at 100 Minnesota Ave in Warwick, RI, which is typically a little over an hour from Cambridge depending on traffic.
Home radiators are one of the items we coat. Send a photo and the approximate size, and we will tell you what the process looks like and give you a ballpark price.
Curb rash and scratches are usually repairable. We strip the wheel, repair the damaged lip, then powder coat it. Bent or cracked wheels are inspected first to see if a safe repair is possible.
Text a photo to our cell. We reply with a ballpark price, and the final price is set when the part is at the shop and we can look at it closely.
