The person behind the counter that runs the powder coating was so friendly and so knowledgeable out of his way to make sure that I knew everything I needed to know and then some I would highly recommend this place. I've gotten several quotes from other places their prices were lower, but the quality was Exceptional. read more

The owner lets his sister run the place. They both have an attitude problem. Mocking the mail man for being afraid of a dog. They don't dispose confidential information properly. They don't erase the customers credit card information off the receipts. They have terrible customer service. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Embee Performance. From day one I was respectfully greeted and treated by Pat. He is so knowledgeable when it comes to anything powder coating and many other things if you take the time to pick his brain. The quality of work is second to none. It was a 60 mile round trip from the IE for me every time but so worth it. The turn around time on my parts was very rapid. I would drop off on Fridays and pick up the following Friday . Excellent communication throughout my entire journey of transforming by Harley-Davidson parts from chrome to a wet glossy black. I recommend Embee Performance to anyone Ask for Pat upon arrival and he'll take good care of you. Thank you Pat and Embee Performance for your consistent professionalism. Thank you Jesse L. read more

I took my truck's tow hooks here to be powder coated red. The guys here were more than awesome. They answered all the questions I had and even made some suggestions on which shade of red I should go with. The turn around time was less than a day. The finished product was absolutely amazing. Quality of the powder coating is second to none. Once installed on my truck, they look phenomenal. I couldn't be happier. I would definitely come back for all my powder coating needs. read more

Had wing risers and a tow hook for my car powder coated. Great quality work! Would recommend to anyone looking to powder or ceramic coating.

I'm disappointed. My fenders were powder coated last year. When we pointed out the gaps in the metal assemblies seems, we were told, powder coating cannot penetrate the weld gaps. So now about a year later, it's rusted and powder coating will soon be more of a detriment than a spray can would have been. read more

Got my Berkeley jet pump powder coated because they were supposedly the best. When I got it back I was beyond disappointed. Power coat had pin holes everywhere and looked terrible. I have seen there work on other peoples boats and there's had none of the stuff mine had. Powder coated over the bowl screws and I guess it was hard for them to tape around the Berkeley model plate correctly. One year later and two trips. The powder is chipping everywhere. The pump, and bowl look horrendous. The place diverter is still alright though . Then after asking to get the some of the parts redone they thought it's fine to yell at me in anger that this isn't there fault. read more

These guys have the worst customer service. They are rude and condescending. I don't want my ass kissed just be a little respectful. The company I work for has a 1.7 billion dollar budget so cost is not a factor. The agreement was we would powder coat 299 pieces at 50 a time and they would invoice us. After doing the second round the attitude started. I went to pick up the second round and the knuckle head at the counter wouldn't give me the items without paying. Even though he knew the agreement and we already took care of the first 50. Dumped them right away and went to Primo Powder Coating in Huntington Beach. The owner of Embee is one of the biggest asses I have ever met. read more

After calling around to multiple local south county powder coating shops, Embee was by far the most reasonable. Pat was very helpful over the phone and even remembered me when I came in to drop off my bicycle frame. Pat was also able to make a custom color to meet my needs and I was very happy to pickup my bicycle only four days later. I'll definitely be using Embee for all of my future projects. read more

I called around to get quotes to powdercoat 6 midcentury Bertoia outside dining chairs. The first Patio company: $265 per chair!! Another place in Newport: $120 per chair. Embee: $65. And they did an outstanding job!! They blasted all the old paint/rust off, then coat of primer and final coat, and additional coat for mat finish. They look soooooo great!! Did I mention they turned these around in less than one week! (Helps to do these in off season...like now.) Could not be happier. Pat was especially helpful and super friendly and professional. Thanks guys!! read more

Not super impressed with the quality of work. Started off with having to pay minimum ($80) for just an exhaust tip canister; but that's their policy so can't blame them for that. However, prep on canister was shabby at best as was not smoothed out before placing ceramic coating so you can see marks from previous powder coating. Was told ceramic turn around time was 7-10 days so I was excited to get a call only 3 days after dropping off exhaust. However, now I see why it only took 3 days. I would have rather waited a few extra days for some time and care in the prep work as for me to remove now would involve having to ruin a freshly-packed canister. Don't mind paying for quality, but when it's not there and you're still paying for it it's a bit frustrating. Don't know if I'd go back. May find a shop here in Orange next time powder coating is needed. read more

I had an exhaust manifold ceramic coated by Embee last year and it turned out great. I came back to use them for powder coating my brake calipers and I had a really bad experience this time around. The initial conversation / start of the process was positive when I dropped off my calipers. Eric answered all of my questions and listened to what I had to say. I left my calipers with him along with a bag of my old piston seals. I recommended that they use the old seals as a masking template since they are consumable and I have brand new ones to install. Before I left, they told me it would take 1.5 - 2 weeks to complete. When I picked up the calipers, I immediately noticed a problem with the spraying. They clearly did not use my old seals as a masking template and sprayed onto the lip sealing surface of my cylinders. Additionally, there was leftover blue tape trapped under powder coat and small amounts of over spray inside the piston bore. I asked the cashier if I should be concerned about this. She said, "no it's fine, we do it like this all the time." When I tried assembling the brand new seals, they did not fit over the lip. The powder coated surfaced added over a millimeter of thickness to the lip and the seal would not sit over it. I returned the calipers to Embee for rework as it was unacceptable like this. I reiterated that they should use my old seals as a masking template in order to avoid spraying in places they shouldn't be spraying in. I also alternatively suggested to just not spray the inside of the caliper entirely. Another 2 weeks went by and they charged me again for service upon pick up. This time, the insides of the caliper were left as unfinished cast iron like I requested. However, there was still over spray from the masking. It didn't matter to me since I was going to use VHT over it and my old seals to spray the insides myself. My second attempt at assembling my calipers was again halted due to over spray onto the threads of my bleeder valve. I will need to either use a thread chaser to clean out the powder coating and risk getting pieces of powder coat inside my caliper, or have them redone somewhere else. I don't want to return my calipers back to Embee for a third session of rework and service charges. A few other notes: - There seems to be a lack of communication within the company or something. From my experience, the front desk, cashier, labor in the back are not coordinated. Front desk originally quoted me $80/caliper, but cashier charged me only $60/caliper. Not a bad thing, but something was off. Both times when my calipers were complete, I never received a phone call telling me it was done. I had to check in to see if they were done. - I notice that they like to get to the invoice first, before showing you the finished product/service. On both experiences with different cashiers, they presented me with an invoice and pen to sign first. I had to ask them to bring me my calipers first before I sign off on the work and hand over my credit card. read more

Excellent service, great pricing and great quality. I took a set of four wheels, and an air cleaner cover here to be powder coated about 6 months ago. They were very friendly and very honest about how the color I was choosing would look, which I appreciated. I received the items back looking great. Fast forward six months, no issues at all, but needed to get another wheel powder coated as it will be my spare on my 1950 F1. I could not find the original paper work and forgot the exact color. I went in and they had everything on file and was even able to provide the old paperwork for my records. I was very impressed that they still had everything in the system and easy to look up. Would definitely recommend using them. Thanks so much! read more

Came into their store as a potential customer... Wanted to see if they could help get 4 of my electric bikes painted. Did not like the attitude and the way the sales rep handle the introduction. Very short, straight to the point, zero F**KS Given tone.. Word of advice to the gentleman that greeted us. A little smile goes a long way, and maybe listen to your potential clients needs first. Before barking NO answers.. read more

Been using Embee for longer than I can remember. Probably early 2000s. You will not find a better powdercoat shop. Thanks Dave and Pat

This is my new powder-coating spot! I contacted about ten other places and send pictures of what I needed painted to all of them hoping to find someone affordable. Embee was the fastest to reply, calling me about 5 minutes after I send my photos. They sounded the friendliest over the phone. I waited a day until I had heard back from the other places, but Embee was the cheapest, so I went to them and was blown away by their professionalism. Only a few days later and I'm very happy with the quality of work! I'll be going back for sure. They also have a massive color selection in the store, all of which are the same price. read more

Got my headers in a couple of days. Great professional work. Will bring my pistons soon.

Received many recommendations about these guys for the excellent work they do in powder coating. Upon further research, I discovered they are a 5 minute drive from where I live and do more than just powder coat. Upon finding out they do performance coatings, anodizing, etc.. I brought in a set of headers and pipes to be ceramic coated. It took them about a week turnaround time at an excellent price for coating the inside AND outside of my headers. It's definitely a quality job because I made a few idiot marks when installing the piping and it barely scratched the ceramic coat. HIGHLY recommend these guys if you need any engine components coated in SoCal. Oh, if you're interested, go in to their showroom and check out their walls covered with color swatches- there are so many. read more

Wow. They know their stuff. I did a lot of research before embarking on my first Powder Coat (PC) project, and I am GLAD I found Embee. Pricing is great. Customer Service is great. Showroom looks great. People are intelligent/helpful/respectful even though I was asking newbie questions. End result PERFECT. I had some wheels PC'd, in two separate jobs, and they all matched. They were done in a reasonable amount of time. I forgot to take the valves out of them for one set, and they told me not to worry about it because they would take care of it for me. I got timely/helpful estimates on a 3rd project over email with pictures. The showroom has a bjillion choices/samples/colors, and they even showed me additional ones in catalog. I have gone back twice, and will continue to go back if I have additional projects. i have recommended to all friends looking for a good PC shop. I had researched 2 other shops prior, with overpriced estimates, shady employees, zero intelligence, single digit color options, etc.. None of the funny business at Embee. read more

You have to meet this owner. He will give you the customer experience that you hope for from any company. And you can tell that he care about you and treats his staff well.

Yes I would come back here again read more

I needed to have my new Muzzy headers ceramic coated for my SxS. Embee Performance came up recommended by many forums. Brought 4 pieces (10' of exhaust) down to their shop. The staff was knowledgeable and easy to work with. They are one of the shops that will coat both the outside and inside of the exhaust pipe. Received a call with my estimate around 2 hours after I dropped off my parts during my lunch break. Price was reasonable and the job should be completed in under a week. A week later received a call saying the parts were ready for pickup. Parts were wrapped in bubble wrap and looked great. Fast, professional service. Thanks again Embee Performance! read more

I just picked up a set of wheels this afternoon and I am really happy with the results! I've honestly never been this happy with any powder coating job before. I have been to a lot of different places over the years from SFV to the Inland Empire and Orange County for powder coating and none of them have impressed me quite like Embee! I've been aware of Embee in the past but mistakenly assumed that they were pricey because of their large, professional-looking facilities and their high-end clientele. I got so fed up with crappy quality powder coating and fluctuating prices that I decided to drive over an hour and pay more more for Embee, based on their reputation. Little did I know that I would actually end up PAYING LESS for the best quality I've ever gotten, at Embee! read more
