About OpenThrottle

Power. Performance. Style.

We love automotive powder. Seeing how it transforms everything from kit cars and hot rods to wheels and restoration projects — that never gets old. So we built OpenThrottle Powder Coatings.

Our Background

Decades of Powder Experience

OpenThrottle is part of Polychem Powder Coatings — which means the experience behind every product isn't measured in years, it's measured in decades. Formulating experience, color expertise, and the technical knowledge to understand the ins and outs of spraying powder. All of it feeding into what OpenThrottle does.

For years we've been listening to what customers need, making quality powder in flexible quantities, and helping people get exactly the result they're after. OpenThrottle brings that directly to the automotive world — the hot rod builders, the bike restorers, the custom wheel finishers, the people who care what their build looks like.
