Know which powder coating leads deserve a capability review
Every enquiry captures material type, piece count, and largest part dimension up front, along with photos of surface condition and any color or finish specification, so you know what's actually coming into your shop before you quote it.
The exact intake your powder coating leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Powder Coating — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified powder coating lead should tell you
Application of a durable powder finish to metal parts, qualified primarily by material type, piece count, part dimensions, and whether existing paint or rust needs stripping before coating.
- Material Parts Made
- About How Many Parts
- Largest Dimension Single Part
- Parts Have Any Existing
- There Specific Color Or
- Coating Work Completed
- Authorized Approve This Job
The questions your team needs answered
Every powder coating intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of material are the parts made of? | Material type determines whether the parts can even be electrostatically coated, since non-metal substrates aren't a fit for a powder line. |
| About how many parts or pieces need to be coated? | Piece count signals whether this is a small prototype batch or a production run that needs checking against your line's throughput. |
| What is the largest dimension of a single part needing coating? | Largest dimension flags parts that may exceed your oven or booth size before you commit to a quote. |
| Do the parts have any existing paint, rust, or coating that needs removal first? | Whether parts need stripping first tells your team if extra prep time and equipment have to be built into the price. |
| Is there a specific color or finish specification the coating must match? | A specific color or finish spec means the buyer needs a color match, which can require a custom powder order and longer lead time. |
| When do you need the coating work completed? | Timeline weighting separates buyers who need the run scheduled immediately from those still planning ahead. |
| Are you authorized to approve this job and its costs? | Confirming approval authority avoids booking a capability review with someone who can't actually greenlight the job cost. |

Built for powder coating workflows
| Cliont capability | Powder Coating application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Steel, aluminum, and other metal parts score higher than non-metal submissions, so runs your line can actually coat rise to the top of your queue. |
| Conditional prep flags | A yes on existing paint, rust, or coating tells your team stripping time needs to be quoted before scheduling the capability review. |
| Photo and reference capture | Buyers upload surface-condition photos and color or finish references, so color-match and rust-removal jobs arrive with the evidence your team needs. |
| Approval-authority check | The intake confirms whether the submitter can approve costs, so reviews aren't scheduled with someone who still needs to loop in a decision-maker. |
Common powder coating lead scenarios
High-volume steel production run
Buyer needs over 100 steel pieces coated as soon as possible and confirms they can approve costs, so the intake flags this as a high-value job worth a capability review.
Parts need stripping before coating
The buyer indicates existing paint or rust must be removed first, which the intake surfaces as an extra prep step your team needs to quote into the job rather than discover on delivery.
Oversized part near line limits
A single part is listed as over 5 feet, prompting your team to check oven and booth dimensions before scheduling a review instead of assuming standard sizing.
Non-metal material submitted
The buyer selects a non-metal substrate, which scores lower in the intake so you can route it accordingly instead of quoting a run your line cannot take.
Color-match spec, no approval yet
The enquiry requires a specific color or finish match but the submitter isn't authorized to approve costs, signaling you need to loop in a decision-maker before scheduling.

Powder Coating lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle parts that aren't metal?
The material-type question captures non-metal submissions separately from steel, aluminum, or other metals, so those lower-fit leads are flagged before your team spends time on a run your line can't process.
Can the intake tell me if a job needs stripping before coating?
Yes, buyers answer directly whether their parts already have paint, rust, or an existing coating, so your team knows upfront whether stripping and extra prep time need to be quoted in.
What about parts that might be too large for our oven or booth?
The intake asks for the largest single-part dimension, including an over-5-feet option, so oversized jobs are visible before you commit to a capability review.
How are color-match jobs flagged differently?
A direct yes/no question about a required color or finish specification, paired with the color reference upload, lets your team see custom-match jobs before scheduling.
Does the intake check whether the person submitting can actually approve the job?
Yes, buyers confirm whether they're authorized to approve costs, which is weighted in the score so you can prioritize reviews with decision-makers.
How does the intake prioritize urgent jobs over ones still in planning?
The timeline question weights 'as soon as possible' and 'within a month' higher than 'planning ahead' or 'not sure', so time-sensitive runs surface first in your CRM.
