After

I've rarely had things powder coated so I'm not sure how their prices compare to others. That said, I thought their quote seemed fair and they completed the job quickly and the quality seems excellent. It was a 25 year old free standing cast aluminum bird feeder. Very heavy and quite dirty and weathered with the old powder coating peeling off. They sandblasted off the old finish and any corrosion and it should be good to go for another 25 years - looks better than new! Pictures show before and after (feeder was disassembled in preparation for powder coating)

Super chrome x Candy Gold! Came out perfect

Fast turnaround time. Even though it was a small job, they killed it thanks again will be back for all my Powdercoat needs.

Our 1940s Russel Wright chairs after powder coating.
Tony M.

My husband and I collect antiques. We have 2 vintage Russel Wright metal lawn chairs from the late 1940s. They were in really bad shape when we got them and we've had them in our garage for a number of years. We decided to restore them. We did research to find out what they might have looked like when they were new. We also researched different ways to restore them. At one point, we even considered taking them to an auto body shop. After asking around and talking to other people, we decided to have them sandblasted and powder coated. We found 3 powder-coating companies here on Yelp. We sent each of them detailed photos of the chairs and told them what we wanted to have done. All of them were similarly priced and said they could do the job. We decided to use Anocote Powder because they were the only ones that said they could do the chairs in two colors (as they were when they were first made). I also got the sense that the owner, Kent, understood that this wasn't a typical industrial powder coating job but more of a high-end restoration. When we took them in to have the work done, we were told that they could not do two colors. We were disappointed but we decided to do it anyway. They helped me choose the colors which we really like. The job was done quicker than we thought. When we saw the photos of the completed chairs we noticed that one of them had a pitted texture that we didn't expect and weren't told about. When we picked them up we saw there was a small hole in one of them and the other chair had a small rough spot in the seat. When I asked about the pitted texture, I was told: "The reason it looks like that is because we had to sandblast it to remove all the rust." The reason for the 3-star rating vs. 5 is that I feel they should have communicated more clearly up front. We shouldn't have been told they could do 2 colors when they could not. Also, we should have been told what to expect regarding sandblasting and that the chairs would have defects. Overall, the chairs look much better than they did. I'm sure this is a great company and they've earned their rating here. However, I wouldn't use them for high-end restorations of the type we did.

Those light colored areas aren't flash reflections, it's that much of a color variation. Looks like used a can of spray paint

Owner is definitely engaged and wants to make his customers satisfied. Looking forward to seeing how the next set comes out

Anocote Powder is San Diegos best powder coating & sandblasting service hands down! Kent, Luis and Maya and the rest of the team are very professional and great people! I look forward to doing more business with Anocote Powder!

We use Anacote powder for our company needs. They are always there, and put out a quality work.

I brought my wheels to Anocote a little over 6 months ago for powder coating. I was extremely satisfied with the work, but wanted to wait a few months before writing a review to see how things held up under driving. Results? Coating still looks great after 5,000 miles, some track time, and a replacement set of tires. I also appreciate Kent's help in selecting a color (they nailed what I was looking for) and the company's transparency. There was a small flaw on one of the wheels and I was given the option of a discount, or having the work redone. I took the discount and honestly don't notice the flaw unless I spend time looking for it. Great people.

Before and after picture of my vintage Cosco stepstool, sandblasted, primered, and powder coated
Brenda D.

This is a before and after picture of my late grandmother's vintage Cosco stepstool. (For some reason I wasn't able to post a picture here, so I posted it separately). It had been sitting in my dad's basement for over 30 years, collecting rust and dirt. I tried restoring it myself, but it was too important to me and I didn't want to mess it up so I contacted Kent and sent him pictures, asking for a quote. He got back to me within an hour. I dropped it off for sandblasting, primer, and powder coating. Sonja took great care in masking off the chrome pieces so as not to get paint on them before coating the leg caps. I wasn't sure that could be accomplished, but as you can see from the finished product, she did a fabulous job! Thank you so much for bringing life back to my stepstool!

When my husband first reached out to David, he was incredibly responsive and patiently answered all of our questions. We had quite a few questions about the different matte PPF brands and their warranties, and he took the time to explain everything without ever making me feel rushed. I ultimately decided to go with David because of his many 5-star reviews and how comfortable I felt after speaking with him. He even went the extra mile by getting 2 small samples of ppf brands and applied them to our car so we could compare the looks in person before making a decision(btw this wasn't necessary since they all look the same). We ended up choosing SunTek, and we couldn't be happier with the result! The matte finish looks SO cool, and the installation process went smoothly from start to finish. My husband and I were thrilled when we picked up the car. Not only did we love the new look, but it was also reassuring to know that the PPF would help protect our paint from rock chips. David also had us bring the car back a week later so he could double-check the installation, which really showed his commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. We have absolutely zero regrets choosing SD Auto Enhancers. Between the fair pricing, excellent communication, attention to detail, and outstanding customer service, David made the entire experience easy and stress-free. We'll definitely be bringing all of our cars to him in the future. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend for road trip prep!…read more This is an amazing place to get your vehicle inspected before a long road trip. I booked online, noted my concerns in the text box, and dropped my car off the next day. After checking in at the office, I walked Joey through my concerns and opted for a Post-Purchase Inspection. Joey sent over the findings quickly and gave me his honest, upfront opinion on what needed immediate attention before my trip versus what maintenance could wait until I reached my destination. He also provided a clear copy of the inspection quotes so there were no surprises. In the end, they completed the full inspection, replaced the car battery, and fixed a coolant leak for around $550+ (including taxes). I definitely recommend this shop! Pro-tip: Try to get there early in the day, as on-site parking and road traffic can get a bit hectic later on.

I brought in my Honda Ridgeline for an issue with my AC. Jason worked with me at the front-desk and went above and beyond to understand my issue and the troubleshooting I had already done. He explained to me CONCISELY what the feasible issue may be, and how they were going to approach a diagnosis. Jason was extremely knowledgeable, and followed up promptly to discuss the fix. Pedro was also exceptional. He found the issue (rodent-chewed wires) and repaired it perfectly. When I picked up my car, he was as excited as I was to have helped me. Before Miramar Auto, I took my truck to the Honda dealer, and they charged twice as much for a diagnosis, only to tell me that I would need a new compressor (incorrect diagnosis) and that it would cost twice as much as I ended up paying out the door at Miramar auto. I couldn't believe how easy Miramar Auto made it. To say that Jason, Pedro, and Miramar Auto are honest, fair, and made me feel taken care of... would be an understatement. They have rightfully earned another lifelong customer. Thank you Miramar Auto!

As an avid auto detailing enthusiast, I know how important this step is to protect the paint. The technicians performed a terrific paint correction prior to flawlessly installing the PPF.
