What’s the difference between ceramic coating and powder coating?
I’m looking for a paint coating for my car and I’m seeing a lot of back and forth between powder coating and ceramic coating. What’s the difference between ceramic coating and powder coating?

Powder coating and ceramic coating are about as different as they can get from each other. Both have their benefits and their drawbacks, so it all comes down to what you would prefer.
Generally, powder coating is the go-to coating as it has a much wider range of color options and is harder than paint, so it does provide protection. Although ceramic coating has fewer color options, it is more popular with those really wishing to keep their car looking brand new as it protects them more against chipping, corrosion, and extreme heat.
Powder coating is easier to apply and is usually used to coat used parts and get them looking shiny and new again. This is done in two simple steps: coat the part, then put the part in the oven for a few hours.
Applying ceramic coating, on the other hand, typically has a couple of extra steps and can be done in what is called a dip-spin or a traditional wet-spray like the powder coating.
The other difference between these two coatings is the price. Ceramic coating is generally more expensive than powder coating. So while you’re looking into what coating is best for you, keep the price in mind.
If all that stands between you and that ceramic coating is a few extra bucks, check out the
