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

Fast service, quality jobs and they don't jerk you around like most other places. This is my goto for powder coating

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!

See all

I called them on a Monday, and they were there Tuesday morning for a driveway and backyard pressure…read morewash. I was very worried about my sandstone walkway that leads to my door, but they were very careful and gentle with it, while still getting the dirt off. Fito Parra arrived on time, with a truck that held a lot of really specialized equipment; this wasn't a side-job, but a profession, and I could tell that he really cared about what he was doing. He was able to get tough stains out on a patio that had not been cleaned for probably 15+ years. I had bought a power washer from BestBuy and tried to do it myself, but it took me an entire Saturday to literally do a quarter of what he did in almost four hours. Fito/KC Power Clean uses steam, some light chemicals (or you can say no) and industrial power wash equipment. I was also very impressed by how he cleaned the dirt splatter off the walls, and did an excellent job. My driveway and patio looked brand new! Kevin followed up asking how the service went, and sending me before and after pictures, which was another professional touch. I'd recommend looking at their Youtube channel and watching what these guys are about. They seem to take care of their employees, their customers, and are growing the business, which is nice to see. I could have paid someone else less to use Lowes/HomeDepot pressure wash equipment and chemicals or simple green, and my patio would have looked just a bit better. But considering this is licensed, insured, and the equipment on the truck was professional (for example, they have some motor on it that heats the water to make the steam, and a machine that could wind the hose back up), I felt that there was significant value. I will be using them again for other services and have already recommended them to my parents and my neighbor. I will also be referring them to my HOA to do their pressure washing. Thank you!!

Aaron especially listened clodely to us to determine our desired results and really delivered! We are beyond thrilled with the outcome.

Everyone at KC Power Clean worked with us at every step in the process to ensure that we were happy with the job!

They booked the job within a week of the call, showed up on time, got right to work and did a great job. Sandblasting creates a giant mess, but the cleanup was superb. The bill came out to exactly what was quoted. Couldn't be happier. I second Chad's warning that sandblasting is very loud so if you have neighbors that will be at home or their houses/driveways/cars are close-by you should warn them.

El Dorado Sandblasting - GRANA table and chairs "after" white powder coating process

FABULOUS Powder Coating, even for someone as "picky" as I…read more We recently moved into a small apartment and needed a very specific sized dinette set. We looked at literally 100's of tables and chairs and could find nothing that matched our needs, which is small enough, able to seat at the minimum 4 people and maybe 6 people, and "white". We finally gave up and decided we would have to go with size and take whatever color we could get. We found our table at IKEA, metal and black. They advertise it as their GRANA dining room table and chairs. After we got the table and chairs home from IKEA ($179.00), we left it in our car overnight to be put together the next day. After sleeping on it, we decided to contact someone to powder coat the set in white. Then, we would have our "dream" dinette set. My husband called around and got estimates and some input from the professionals in this field. We chose El Dorado Sandblasting because Bob seemed to be the most thorough in his explanation of what needed to be done. His estimate was not the highest, nor was it the lowest of those companies we talked to. We took the table and chairs to Bob that afternoon (a Friday). He gave me several "white" choices (samples) to bring home and think about over the weekend, as "white" is not a single choice. Monday, I called Bob with my "white" choice and they went to work on our set. We had hoped to have the set back by the following Friday as we were having our first visitors to our new place that weekend. The following Wednesday, Bob called and said the set was ready. Wow, Wow, Wow, FAST, FAST, FAST. We went and picked the setup, still in pieces (not put together yet). We were impressed with how thorough a job they had done, right down to all the screw heads. We brought the unit home, put it together, and realized what a beautiful job Bob had done with this set. Our final bill was $385.00, which included taking the set down to the steel, priming in white, and powder coating in white. They took the drab, black set and made it absolutely beautiful. We could not be happier. It was worth every penny!
