Liberty Powder Coating: Oakland County’s Go-To Partner for Durable, High-Performance Metal Finishes – 7/24/2025
Custom solutions, quick turnaround, and Midwest-tough quality make Liberty Powder Coating a regional standout
OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — In a state where climate extremes put every surface to the test, Liberty Powder Coating has emerged as a trusted leader in protective metal finishes throughout Southeast Michigan. Since its founding in 2011, the company has served contractors, manufacturers, auto shops, artists, and homeowners alike—providing powder coating services that deliver beauty, strength, and environmental durability.
Known for fast turnarounds, precise craftsmanship, and personalized customer care, Liberty Powder Coating specializes in transforming raw and weathered metal into corrosion-resistant, customized surfaces that stand strong for years. From patio furniture to automotive rims and industrial brackets, Liberty handles jobs of every scale—with a reputation built one coat at a time.
“We take pride in getting it right—the prep work, the finish, and the communication,” said Keith Larson, co-owner and lead finisher. “Whether we’re working with a small batch of custom hardware or prepping 200 railings for a commercial project, our goal is the same: coat it like it’s our own.”
Powder Coating That Performs in Michigan’s Harshest Conditions
Michigan weather doesn’t go easy on exposed surfaces. Road salt, humidity, snow, and sun damage can destroy traditional paint—and that’s where powder coating offers a major advantage. Liberty uses electrostatic application and oven-curing processes to create finishes that are thicker, more even, and longer-lasting than liquid coatings.
Clients trust Liberty for:
- Automotive parts (rims, bumpers, suspension components)
- Residential fixtures (gates, fencing, patio sets, stair railings)
- Commercial and industrial items (machine housings, metal signage, handrails)
- Custom and artistic work (bike frames, furniture, art pieces)
“Powder coating isn’t just about looks—it’s about performance,” said Jessica Moore, production manager. “We focus on adhesion, smooth finishes, and coating depth so the result isn’t just pretty—it’s functional for decades.”
Liberty’s finishes are resistant to scratching, chipping, moisture, and chemical wear—making them ideal for heavy-use or outdoor items. Their coatings range from bold colors and metallics to matte, gloss, satin, and textured options, all customized to client specifications.
Oakland County Service with a Personal Touch
Located near the industrial corridor in Oakland County, Liberty Powder Coating has built strong ties with businesses across Troy, Rochester Hills, Pontiac, Waterford, and Farmington Hills. Whether completing bulk orders for metal fabricators or helping a homeowner restore vintage wrought iron furniture, their process is rooted in clear communication and detailed planning.
“Our job isn’t just to finish metal—it’s to finish strong,” said Angela Reed, customer relations coordinator. “Clients love that we answer calls, quote accurately, and treat each order like it matters—which it does.”
Angela leads Liberty’s project scheduling, intake coordination, and customer support, helping ensure smooth onboarding and timeline alignment. Her background in industrial operations and design consulting helps bridge the gap between technical expertise and customer experience.
Trusted by Michigan Builders, Auto Enthusiasts, and Designers
Liberty Powder Coating has earned consistent five-star reviews across local platforms and business directories. Clients repeatedly praise their attention to detail, fast turnaround, and willingness to explain the process step-by-step.
“When Liberty coats our exterior steel components, we know it’ll last—and we know they’ll hit the deadline,” said Tom Farley, founder of Farley Fabrication in Royal Oak. “They treat every job with care, no matter how big or small.”
“I brought in my vintage motorcycle frame expecting a basic coat. Instead, I got something showroom-worthy,” said Leonard Greene, a customer from Auburn Hills. “They let me choose from dozens of finishes and even adjusted the texture to match the wheels. Incredible service.”
Interior designers and restoration pros also rely on Liberty for custom work that blends durability with high-end aesthetics. Their metal finishes have been featured in kitchen remodels, boutique storefronts, outdoor bars, and regional real estate developments.
A Team of Finishers with Passion and Precision
Behind Liberty Powder Coating’s success is a crew of experienced professionals who know how to prep, mask, spray, cure, and inspect with surgical accuracy. Their training spans chemistry, material safety, and application technique—ensuring coatings are both visually consistent and structurally reliable.
“We prep surfaces meticulously—blasting, degreasing, neutralizing,” said DeShawn Carter, senior applicator. “That prep makes the finish. If it’s not clean and uniform underneath, it’s not going to last.”
DeShawn also trains new hires in coating chemistry, film thickness measurement, and visual inspection standards. His commitment to quality assurance has helped Liberty maintain its zero-defect reputation across hundreds of client projects.
Eco-Conscious Processes for a Cleaner Michigan
Unlike traditional painting methods that release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and generate hazardous waste, powder coating is a cleaner, greener alternative. Liberty’s application process eliminates solvents, reduces over-spray waste, and consumes less energy overall.
Environmental benefits include:
- Zero VOC emissions
- Non-toxic materials and recyclable powder over-spray
- Lower carbon footprint compared to traditional paint booths
The company also uses recycled packing materials, local supply chains, and energy-efficient curing ovens. “We’re proud to offer a coating process that protects both metal and the environment,” said Jessica.
Community Engagement and Education
Liberty Powder Coating supports vocational education, trade programs, and regional beautification initiatives. In 2023, the company partnered with an Oakland County technical high school to offer shadowing opportunities and donated coating services to a local veterans memorial restoration project.
“We believe in community over competition,” said Keith. “That means supporting education, local partnerships, and showing young tradespeople that finishing work is an art and a career.”
Liberty also sponsors events like Auto Nights, home improvement expos, and makerspace forums to demonstrate the versatility and impact of powder coating in modern design.
Looking Ahead: Growth, Technology, and New Markets
With demand growing across Michigan for durable, aesthetic metal finishes, Liberty Powder Coating is expanding. Plans for 2025 include:
- A second curing booth to increase capacity
- Expanded color libraries and custom finishes
- Improved scheduling software for customer convenience
- New service lines for architectural powder coating and industrial-grade corrosion protection
“We want to scale without sacrificing service,” said Angela. “Our next chapter includes smarter workflows, broader capabilities—and the same hands-on approach that made us who we are.”
Liberty also plans to strengthen its partnerships with construction firms, manufacturers, and independent creators—building a network where great finishes make lasting impressions
