Wasn't really happy with the price or the outcome. Took in a set of bumpers made of brand new clean steel and they made three attempts to get the texture correct and were never successful. I've used a few shops in the area and have had the best luck with Maas brothers. It's a hell of a drive from Oakland, though. read more

Just got back from Melrose Powder Coating. The finish is WAY better than anything Leon's ever did. You just lost $500.00 Leon's. Oh, I took another frame to Melrose so you lose even more. http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr151/mcma111/DSC_0845_zps961da275.jpg http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr151/mcma111/DSC_0843_zps9ab9e1a0.jpg http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr151/mcma111/DSC_0979_zps9a3127cd.jpg read more

Just went to pick up my bike frame. They sand blasted and got powder on the threads inside the bottom bracket. The whole thing is trash now. When I dropped it off, I had put masking tape across all the threads and other parts that should not be powdercoated or sand blasted. I know they don't use masking tape, but I don't own the special tape they use and I thought it would do for marking purposes. I explained this to the guy I left it with. He said he understood. I know it's cheap but it's not worth ruining your bike. read more

Took a chance in having a motobike swing arm powder coated and struck into something good. They did a great job making the ex race bike take off swing arm look newish for a very reasonable price. I think it's a place worth well trying. I also saw a few different items being powder coated such as road bike frames, Auto valve covers and wheels. Thumbs up for these guys. I will be coming back for future projects. read more

Leon's coated my Trek 520 frame and fork for $100. I saw a specialty dark burgundy sparkle on their online color inventory, but I did a poor job of communicating my choice, and ended up with a burgundy frame with gold glitter clearcoat. It looked cheesy, like it should have streamers in the handlebars. I was disappointed. However, I found that the clearcoat chipped off easily, revealing a nice dark red finish underneath. I took off all the clear/sparkle in about 2 hours with some packing tape and patience, and now it looks awesome. For $100, the onus is on you to make sure they treat your bike right. They masked off all threads and surfaces nicely though. One other thing - a couple years ago I had a steel Bianchi frame done, and it came back wrapped in plastic. I didn't open it until I got home, and I found it'd been lightly dinged. Unwrap your stuff before you get home, and don't take them anything that can't stand up to a metal shop. If you have a frame that costs more than a powder coat, I'd take it to a shop that deals mainly in bikes. If you have a commuter that you want to spruce up, take it to Leon's. They're lovely folks, and they'll do a decent job for cheap. Don't get a clear coat, though. read more

I took my door to Leon's Powder Coating for them to remove old paint and rust to have it re-coated. I was concerned if Leon's kept my door too long I may be at risk of a robbery on my property and understood. My husband dropped off the door in the morning and Leon's completed the job THE SAME DAY!! Overall great service, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Thumbs up! read more

Leon's Powder Coating - Powder Coating Near Me - Oakland, California

Extremely pleased with this absolutely gorgeous powder coating job!!! I had a 46 year old wrought iron patio set that my deceased parents gave me when I bought my house in Los Altos. Now, my dear parents are gone and I've moved from that house to Foster City. The set has great sentimental value as it brings back very fond memories of my parents dining with me and my children (their grandchildren) and I wanted to keep it. It was a very sturdy set with everything welded together (not like the ones you can buy off the internet that you screw together). But standing outside for so many years (especially in the salt air), the set looked pretty bad. There was a lot of rust all over it. I found Leon's Powder Coating in Yelp and called them. They were very helpful, courteous, reasonable and responsive. They came right away and picked up the set. They called in two days and it was ready for delivery. I paid them over the phone and then discovered a couple of minor marks. They took two pieces back and had them back to me early the next morning. Incredible, dependable, trustworthy, efficient, professional service. I could not be happier. The set looks brand new and expect that it will last another 46 years now (even though I won't at 73 years old ). Thank you so much. Great job!! read more

I got my rims for my FJ Cruiser powder coated at Leon's. He had somebody pick them up at Wheel Works and drop them off there when they were done for only $40. When I picked up my car after the 2 day turnaround I was pleasantly surprised! Leon and his team kicked ass. I will be back to play around with this process on some other stuff for sure. It would be cool to see a better display of colors and specs on his site to I could select a few options virtually. Good to go! read more

One phone got the job done. 3 days later my wrought iron patio set was returned better than new! The gloss black finish looks great. Mike Mehan read more

I also want to compliment the friendly office staff. I love supporting Oakland businesses, and Leon's Powder Coating is a great business. read more

Worst ever I'm contractor that would deal with them off and on , I took a double swing gate to them they damages it while unloading it with a fork lift - it pushed my job out - a government job - not good , they wanted had given me a price a from price to powder coat the gate and fix it I said ok I need it fixed - it pushed my schedule out as it is then two weeks when my job was ready to go that's when I decided to pick these gates up they overcharged my my original Pricing making up for their mistake - they didn't even offer to discount their own mistake - when I was reluctant to pay the extra cost they decided to unload my gates so I had no choice bit to pay - I needed my job done - worst ever company - how can you do that to customer - you damaged it in the first place - I had to deal with moving my schedule around because of this - not cool - they didn't care to even worry about the frustration that o had on my end , make sure you get a email confirming your pricing for powder coating . If I can give them one star I would - read more

My boyfriend needed some parts of his Harley powder coated. Needless to say we had to go back a second time to have some redone because it wasn't smooth. Not the best bang for your buck I would say. Plus the guy only wanted cash.... A little odd but I guess he treated himself to a nice dinner. My advice... take it somewhere else! read more

My husband took his two motorcycle wheels here to be powder coated. Was quoted a price and given a ready-by date. We dropped them off, picked a color and went on our way. The ready-by date came, and they still had not called us to say the wheels were ready to pick up, so my husband called them. Says they will be ready by the end of the day. Translation=we haven't started yet. So, he goes to get them early the next morning, and they are ready. Great. Takes them to the city where the bike is getting worked on, and upon closer inspection, there are horrible smudge marks all over the place. They obviously rushed the job, didn't let it dry, and handled the wheels way too hastily. Low prices, but you get what you pay for. I wouldn't go back without being extremely careful when I picked up my stuff. Since the wheels are already installed with tires on them, it's not worth it for us to bring them back and get redone. Disappointing. read more

Leon's powder coating is very responsive. I am undergoing a restoration, where I need to get my car shell epoxy primed. Not only did he match the price of a competitor down South in LA, he has the facility to do more. I will look forward to bringing him work. read more

Had some mismatched patio furniture that I wanted to get the same color to create a set. Took it in on Friday and needed it for a party the next day. They did an awesome job and it was done same day. All the parts that shouldn't have been painted were not. Nice people too. They even charged me $20 less than originally agreed. Not sure about the prior comment but I paid with a credit card and they have signs up all over the place saying they accept credit. Highly recommend. read more

Now that summer is coming i took two sets of iron furniture and three bike frames (with forks) to get them sandblasted (strip the paint away) and re-powder coat them. I got to the shop and talked to Leon, he is a really nice guy, gave me a really GOOD price for everything (a lot cheaper than other powder coaters) I got to choose different NICE colors for the bikes and furniture. Drop everything off on a Tuesday and was ready to pickup on Wednesday!! Super really FAST service and everything was looking radiant; just like NEW STUFF!! TUMBS UP FOR LEONS!! read more

Great place, it's going to put the other place is out of business because their prices are so good. I had them do wheels for my truck and a gas tank for my boat. Both have turned out excellent. Keep up the good work!!! read more

Extravagance Iron Works has been doing business with Leon's Powder Coating for the past 3 years. We tried the other powder coating companies in the area but none worked out. We drive from San Carlos to Oakland for great quality in terms of their coating. They powder coat our items with primer then paint. We have had some accidents handling our gates which have chipped and we were able to see an absolutely thick coat of primer and paint. We love the guys who handle the work and the office people are very professional. The time which items get done is a few days and if we need items back sooner I always feel comfortable asking for our order to be done quicker. They deliver a high quality work which enhances our well crafted iron works. Thank you Leon's Powder Coating read more

I just moved into the area and needed my patio furniture redone. I was referred by a co-worker to go to Leon's. Good service, friendly and professional staff. Most of all really good work. I'm glad I went to this establishment and I do recommend Leon's. read more

terrible! i signed up for yelp just to bag on these guys. i had a bmx stem and peddles that i wanted powder coated, so i went down there and personally gave them the parts and explained what i needed done and what kind of things were to be avoided, like powder coating threads and the axles of the peddles. well guess what, the threads were powder coated as well as the peddle axles! on top of that the tapping job was horrendous which led to sharp jagged edges where the powder coat met the tape edges. if you have large uncomplicated parts that need powder coating like fences or security gates im sure these guys could get it done, but for any kind of part that requires skill or care to paint, its just not going to happen. my advice is to pass these guys over, either that or have your parts ruined. read more

Fantastic! What a great job on my railings. Picked up on Monday, delivered on Wednesday. Everyone was so nice to deal with and the final finish is absolutely beautiful. They were so patient with me when it came to picking the color and finish. I will definitely use Leon's to have my patio furniture done. Oh, the price was really good also -- even when you factor in the transportation costs (my railing were too long for my truck). read more

When I needed a powder coating job done for a high schools robotics team frame I looked to Leon's, not just because their sight was close to the school, but from the several recommendations I received from several friends. When I dropped the robot frame off, the process was straight forward, they asked the color and our phone number. They were able to have the frame completed in two days. The quality of work was amazing. the frame had an even coat, and a perfect gloss. I am glad to say that my team and I will never go anywhere else. read more

I took 2 bikes, mine and my wifes touring bikes, with s and s couplers in to get sandblasted and powder coated. noone was around, so i yelled and walked around a bit, they finally came out. We looked at a book and picked out a color, no paperwork, just a phone number on a piece of scrap paper. It all seemes super sketchy. I asked him to mask the couplings. Before we left, I confirmed the color with him to see if he remembered, sure enough, he knew the color code and number. We go to pick up the frames, noone knows where the frames and forks are. the stainless steel couplings were really scratched up from the sand blasting. They really blasted the shit out of it with coarse sand. The powder coating had bubbles and bumps. What do you expect for $80 per bike? Would I do it again? Heck yeah! As long as you don't expect perfection, I say go for it. If you are picky, stay away. I wish they did a better job, but then they wouldn't be so darn cheap would they? read more
