Core finish
Powder Coating
A strong option for wheels, brackets, covers, suspension pieces, and other metal parts that need a durable finish without looking overdone.
Grit to Gloss ATX
Powder Coating • Sand Blasting • Polishing
Austin-based powder coating and polishing for automotive, motorcycle, and custom metal parts.
The work centers on the parts people actually notice: wheels, brackets, valve covers, suspension pieces, and one-off metal parts that need solid prep and a clean finish.
- Clear photos and basic details are usually enough to get a quote moving.
- Drop-off and pickup are handled by appointment here in Austin.
- Older parts often need extra prep, and that gets discussed up front.
Services
Prep-first finishing for parts that need to perform and present well.
Most jobs come down to prep, finish choice, and how the part is going to be used. The goal is simple: send it back looking clean and ready to work.
Surface prep
Sand Blasting / Media Blasting
Used to strip old coatings, clean up rust, and get parts ready before coating or refinishing.
Refinement
Polishing
For parts that need more shine, cleaner edges, or a better overall look once they are back on the vehicle.
Custom work
Custom Part Finishing
One-off pieces, mixed batches, and oddball parts that do not fit neatly into a standard category but still need the same level of prep and finish.
Process
Simple steps from first photos to finished pickup.
Start with photos, confirm the scope, then move into prep and finishing. Nothing about the process needs to be complicated.

Refinishing for daily drivers, performance cars, and restoration projects.
Valve Covers
A common choice when the rest of the engine bay is getting cleaned up too.
Brackets
Small parts, tabs, and supports that still need to look like they belong on the build.
Suspension Parts
Good prep matters here, especially on older parts that have seen weather, road grime, and old coatings.

For the parts that are hard to categorize but still need the same level of prep and finish.

About
Clean prep. Durable finish. Straight answers.
Grit to Gloss ATX handles powder coating and polishing for customers who care about how their parts look when they go back on the car, bike, or build. The approach is simple: prep it right, coat it cleanly, and be honest about what the part needs.
What the name means
The name comes from the part itself going from rough and worn to something cleaner and more finished. That change only looks right when the prep work underneath is handled properly.
Contact
Local, appointment-based, and easy to reach.
