PPCS Powder Coated Chassis Service

Ever wanted a purple-framed PC case, but it just wasn't available out there? Ever wanted an orange-paneled case, but you just can't quite seem to find it for sale because the color isn't popular out there? Well, we've done the hard work so you don't have to. PPCS is now introducing our new custom Powdercoating option! We can now get you that much closer to that system you've been day-dreaming about.

Powdercoating is an alternative to traditional wet-spray paint that encapsulates metal with a plastic-derivative dry particles, i.e. powder, that can be more resilient compared to traditional paint, and certainly stronger than economical rattle-can spray. Powdercoating is sometimes referred to as â??dry-paintingâ?. It's applied via electrostatic coating process that relies on the attraction between charged particles (powder) that are fused together and melted into a solid layer of color with the introduction of high temperatures to 'cure' it. It's ready to go shortly after it's completed, versus wet-spray which requires cure-time that can last up to a month, as well as dealing with noxious dangerous chemicals and fumes. This process is generally less prone to mistakes than traditional wet spray, but it's not without its faults. You are limited to basically metal only, meaning any plastic parts on a case candidate must be 'stripped down' to allow application of the powder. All parts to be coated need to be separated from each other and coated individually, and the case is reassembled. Things like PCI slot covers and any screws would be removed, otherwise it would all become 'one giant piece' when it's coated.

We will add new colors on a regular basis. Anything from smooth shiny finishes, to textured metallic finishes, to deep-layered 'candy' finishes, and everything in between!

With that said, PPCS will have to look into and decide whether a desired or requested case that we don't already list is a suitable candidate for the process taking into consideration the time to strip down and prepare said case, which will be reflected in the cost. For example, if a case candidate actually takes 4 hours just to prepare it for the process, it'll end up being a good amount of money because of the labor and time it would take, but that's the reality of the situation.
