Twin City Metalseal + Powder Coating aims to retain a small‑company feel while equipping and empowering its team to deliver high‑quality, consistent results for every project.

• Powder coating is a dry‑finishing process that creates a durable, attractive finish on metal parts.
• It offers excellent resistance to:
• Corrosion
• Impact
• Abrasion
• Fading from sunlight
• Powder coating is a cost‑effective alternative to buying new components and helps reduce unnecessary product waste.

Types of Projects and Metals

Powder coating services are available for a variety of applications, including business, industrial and personal projects. Common metals and items include:

• Aluminum parts
• Steel and stainless‑steel parts
• Cast iron components
• Brass and other common metals

Customers commonly use powder coating for items such as rims, industrial parts and other metal components that need a durable, visually appealing finish.

Typical Turnaround Time

• The typical turnaround time for powder coating jobs is about 1–3 days, depending on:
• The size and complexity of the job; and
• The color requested (for example, whether it is an in‑stock color).
• Actual turnaround may vary by project; customers should confirm timing when they request a quote.

Pricing and Examples

• All powder coating pricing is custom and depends on factors such as part size, preparation needs and color choice.
• As an example from the company's FAQ, pricing for 16" rims varies based on details such as:
• Whether the color is in stock; and
• Whether the rims are split rims or aluminum rims.
• Because of these variables, exact prices are not listed online; customers are asked to call (612) 331-1700 or submit project details (and photos, where helpful) for current pricing.

Twin City Metalseal + Powder Coating provides two core metal finishing services for customers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and beyond:

Vacuum Impregnation

• Vacuum impregnation is used to eliminate porosity in metal castings.
• It helps prevent leakage of fluids and gases, reduces plating defects, increases machinability and reduces scrap.
• This process is often more cost‑effective than scrapping castings, especially after expensive machining has been performed.
• Typical applications include components for agricultural, aviation, marine, automotive, hydraulic and other industrial systems.

Powder Coating

• Powder coating produces an attractive, durable finish on metal parts.
• It offers excellent resistance to corrosion, impact, abrasion and fading from sunlight.
• It is a cost‑effective alternative to buying new parts and helps reduce product waste.
• Twin City Metalseal + Powder Coating works on aluminum, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, brass and other common metals, serving commercial, residential and personal projects.
