The short answer
Powder coating for Worcester drivers and businesses
Ocean State Powder Coating serves Worcester-area drivers and businesses from its shop at 100 Minnesota Ave in Warwick, RI. From Worcester the drive is typically about an hour, most often down Route 146 to I-295 and I-95. All coating and repair is done in Warwick, and you can text a photo for a ballpark price before you make the trip.
Central Mass is hard on metal. Worcester sits higher than the coast, so winters tend to run colder and snowier, which means more plowing, more salt and more brine on the roads. That is a rough combination for factory wheel finishes and anything bare steel left outside.
Before you drive down, text us a photo of what you want coated. We reply with a ballpark price, and the final price is set once the part is at the shop and we can see it up close.
Hills, salt and Route 146 miles
Worcester is called the city of seven hills for a reason. Steep streets around Vernon Hill, Grafton Hill and the neighborhoods off Pleasant Street mean a lot of braking, and that packs brake dust into wheel finishes. Once the clear coat chips, winter salt gets under it and the corrosion spreads.
Commuters running I-290 through the city, I-190 up toward Fitchburg and the Mass Pike out to Auburn see long stretches of salted pavement every winter. Frost heaves and potholes on older roads like Grafton Street and Park Avenue add bent lips and curb rash to the list.
Trucks, sleds and work equipment
A lot of what we see from central Mass is truck and SUV wheels, plus motorcycle parts that come out of storage every spring. Snowplow hardware and trailer parts are common too, since they spend the whole winter in salt.
Contractors and small shops around the Blackstone Valley and Worcester bring us railings, brackets and fabricated steel. Powder coating gives those parts a finish that generally holds up to New England weather better than a rattle can coat.
Plan the trip once
Since the drive is about an hour each way, the text-a-photo step saves you time. Tell us what the parts are, what is wrong with them and the color you have in mind, and we will tell you what to expect before you leave Worcester.
Bring wheels with tires mounted. We dismount, strip, blast, repair, coat, cure, remount and balance in the same building, so there is no second stop at a tire shop. Shop hours are Monday to Friday.
