I've been working on a project recently, which required the powder coating of 15 steel railings. I had worked with Pete and Richard on an earlier project in 2025, and I was very sure that I wanted to work with them on this project as well. The price was very fair, the work was ready right on time, and the quality of their work is exceptional! If you're looking for quality powder coating, and enjoy working with folks who provide great customer service, then RC Refinishing is the place for you Thank you Pete and Richard!

I brought an older yard ornament to Richard Cortez at RC Refinishing in San Jose, for repainting with a Powdercoat Finish, after having the rust removed, so that I could give the ornament to my wife for Christmas. I brought the ornament to Richard on a Monday, and the job was completed on Tuesday afternoon, in plenty of time for Christmas. If you're looking for quality work and great Customer service, I highly recommend RC Refinishing. Their prices are very reasonable, and their Customer service is outstanding. Thanks again Richard, for a great job! Bruce McCombs read more

Dropped off a black AR-15 lower receiver to get it Cerakoted in Burnt Bronze to match my factory Geissele anodize DDC (Desert Dirt Color) upper receiver--and they absolutely nailed it. The color match was spot on, and the finish looks clean and professionally done. Pricing was very competitive. Super happy with how everything turned out. I'll definitely be coming back for more work in the future. Highly recommend! read more

I am a very satisfied customer. Robert is a very kind man. He explains everything and the process very well. He knows his business and he will treat you right. I am more than happy with his results and effort. He is very professional and his results speak for themselves. I have used other businesses for the same services and I don't need to look anymore.. The Price was right, the lead time was excellent and I was working on a special prototype And his efforts paid off. A big thank you to Robert and his team. Well done! read more

I had these guys powdercoat a bike frame for me. It turned out GREAT. The powder base was super thick and bright. They prepped the frame and had it turned around to be within a couple of days. Cost was very reasonable. If I have materials that need powdercoating, these guys will be my first stop. read more

RC just refinished 2 metal chairs for us. They look brand new! Fantasic job! Robert and Pete are super nice to work with. 100% recommend them. read more

Had my dirt bike frame powder coated by these guys, and the paint rubbed off after 2 rides. Paided $450 and was quoted from another shop $200. I went with them because I thought it would be a premium service. I posted these pictures on social media, and I asked if this is normal. All of the comments said that it was not power coated or properly done. read more

I came to RC Refinishing to cerakote my keyboard, as I saw that they have experience doing this before. As this was my first time ever cerakoting anything, Robert and his team did amazing job communicating to me. The process took exactly 15 business days, just as they had told me. The coating came out beautifully on my keyboard (Gun Candy Kraken). The quality, finish, and end result present by them is amazing! I would 100% come back again to get another item refinished in the future! read more

Every time I visit RC, it is like a class with Robert. From learning about all of the different type of powder coating to seeing all the things that Robert and his team has done, it is an amazing experience. Had 3 keyboards Cerakoted here: Geonworks F1-8X, Space65 CV, Canoe Gen2. All 3 of the Cerakote jobs turned out amazing. It is expensive to do custom pieces so be prepared. Definitely my go to spot for any keyboard Cerakoting job. Note: I will update pictures once I finish with the F1-8X build. read more

Had some rusty boat parts that needed to be bead blasted and powder coated. Robert counciled me on using a zinc powder primer and over coated with standard powder. Parts came out looking great. read more

Saw another person getting their keyboard cerakoted here so I took my board here for their service. RC actually cerakoted a few keyboards himself so he knew what to do when I brought mine in. He simply asked for the color and told me the rate. You'll have to call to follow up with the updates. He said lead time is around 5 - 10 days but give him a call around 3 weeks in. The result is flawless read more

This place came recommended from a friend. I brought four stock steel wheels in for a black gloss finish. I was told due to the wheel construction there was a chance parts of the wheel could show some rough areas. I understood and decided to proceed forward as this is not for a show car. When I was called to pick up the finished product I could not have been happier. Although my wheels did show some imperfections due to their construction, the overall quality of the powder coating was impressive. RC Refinishing will get all my future powder coating business. read more

After researching places that do high temp ceramic coating around the bay, I decided to go with R.C. Refinishing for a downpipe for my 2011 Subaru WRX and I'm glad I did. Robert Cortez, the owner was very helpful answering my questions and gave me an unbeatable quote via their "Contact us" link on their site. Dropped off my downpipe with Chris (employee) a couple of days later and was told it would take 5-10 days and sure enough, I picked it up on the 10th day. The quality of the coat looks amazing! They used Cerakote Glacier Black which can withdstand over 2000 degrees farenheit. Overall, great experience. Great quality, awesome price and great customer service. I will be coming back for future work! Thanks guys! read more

After seeing some nice Yelp reviews I went to them to get some parts from an old car refinished. They did a great job, putting cerakote on 2 parts, and powder coating another. I'm very happy with the work and I'll be back for sure with more parts. read more

I've been looking for someone local to do some powdercoating on a bicycle frame I've got, and I stumbled across these guys after some diligent searching on the Net. Spoke to Pete, did the handoff. A week later, I had a brand-spankin' new looking bike frame. The rates were reasonable; if you've ever priced out powder coating services, you know how much these things cost. Pete and crew offers a whole slew of services, including sandlbasting and powdercoating. read more

I wanted to make sure I found a shop certified to cerakote my Glock 19 Gen 3, so I checked http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/resource/locator/ and found R C Refinishing. I wanted the slide in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) and the frame in OD Green. I dropped it off on the 28th and picked it up today so it took 16 days. When I first came in they said it would take about 10-15 days, closer to 10. The long waiting period is my only issue, but it's not really a big deal. They did a clean job and the gun looks really good! Bottom line, i'll definitely recommend this place to some of my buddies. read more

Have use RC Refinishing for a number of projects from motorcycle pipes to my kids bike. Always turns out better than expected. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any project. read more

I emailed them once or twice a week for 2 months asking for an update. They almost never reply via email. They never started my project. They lied on the phone and in person. They simply didn't want to work on my project and didn't own up to that. I send you all the pictures and answered all your questions and gave you more pictures as requested. You gave me a quote and then weeks later you tripled the quote without a reason. Then you lied and hoped I would go to the next best option. Just be honest next time and don't make a customer wait weeks. Wasted my time with them! read more

The customer service is really good the gentleman that owns it is really nice doesn't overcharge like some other places price is reasonable good quality work. read more

this place is cool..i got my Glock 22 Cerakoted here and it came out ok... i had some issues with how long it took to get it back they said it would take 2-3 weeks and it took over a month not only that but i never received a call from them telling me it was done like they said they would. the work they did came out good i don't have any issues with that. i might have just caught them on a busy month. i do plan on getting more work done by them and hopefully this time i can give a better review. pricing is pretty good i will say that. parking sucks. park in the street if you can. read more

In May 2014, Robert Cortez delivered our beautifully powder coated patio furniture. RC Refinishing did a fantastic job powder coating the wrought iron patio furniture. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the fantastic job done by RC Refinishing. It looks superb and also the price was very reasonable. Thank you Robert for your excellent work!

Outstanding service, outstanding work. I dropped off a project I was working on for my dad on a short timeline. Given the standard 5-10 day turnaround, which would have worked, but would have left me little room for error. Not only did Pete get my stuff checked in professionally, the guys were able to turn around my project much quicker and it looks amazing! I can't wait to surprise my dad with the results. I will most definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Had RC powder coat a 20 year old bike frame and couldn't be happier with the finish! Excellent quality from RC. Thanks Rob and team!

Went by shop to have rim powder coated, agreed on price, $120-150 ready in 5-10 days. 10 days later nothing. Called and left message, no call back. Called again, owner answers and advises rim not even started, " this job takes 3-4 weeks." Remind him when Rim dropped off timeline advised was 5-10 business days. He immediately starts raising his voice and making excuses about lack of employees, etc... Then he straight up lies to me about date I dropped it off trying to cover his bad work/timeline. When I tell him I'm without a car and can't go another 2 weeks without car...he says, "That's not my concern." HORRIBLE!!! Customer service...can't recommend this shop...don't use unless you have unlimited timelines and like bad service!!! Shame on the kid who's father gave him a ready made business!!! Spoiled, "not my concern" attitude!!! read more

I am an interior designer in the San Francisco Bay Area and used RC Refinishing for the first time for a client who needed a specific color on a refrigerator. They responded very quickly with a quote and kept me informed of the progress each step of the wa, from ordering the paint color through the delivery of the refrigerator in a different city.. I have worked with a lot of contractors in the many years that I have been in business and I have to say that RC is top notch. The service provided was professional, cost effective and way above the call of duty. Most importantly, the paint job looks great! I will be calling them again for other jobs.
