Custom Finish

Durability, Beauty, and Protection — Finishing Your Bench for Generations of Use.

Every Build-a-Bench restoration begins with authentic vintage American cast iron. These salvaged frames carry history, character, and the kind of enduring craftsmanship that simply isn’t found in modern mass production. To complete each bench and ensure its strength for decades to come, we offer the option of professional powder coating — a highly durable, protective finish that combines function with timeless beauty.

Enduring Beauty

Powder coating is a modern finishing technique that applies a dry pigment to the cast iron, which is then heat-cured to create an exceptionally strong, even finish. Unlike paint, powder coating forms a thick, resilient seal that protects the metal from the elements, extending the life of your bench in virtually any outdoor environment.
  • Highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and peeling
  • Seals out moisture to prevent rust and corrosion
  • Long-lasting color that resists fading from sun exposure
  • Provides a smooth, uniform appearance that enhances the cast iron detail

Finish Color Options

The finish you select adds both personality and lasting protection to your bench. We offer a curated range of colors to complement the purpose and setting of each piece.

All powder coating is performed locally with care and precision, ensuring that your bench not only honors the heritage of its materials but is prepared to endure the elements for years to come.
