Our Story

GSD Powder Coating's humble beginnings date back to February 2005, when the business was originally formed and called Grandstand Designs. Grandstand Designs was an aftermarket motorcycle equipment manufacturer specializing in parts for Buell motorcycles. The business added powder coating and anodizing operations in 2006. Ceramic exhaust coating operations followed in 2007. All work was done by Peter Alesso in his two-car garage on a part-time basis while working full-time for a prominent motorcycle dealership. The entire operation was moved to Metuchen, New Jersey, in 2008. The shop space was 3000 ft.², located in the back of an industrial building occupied by an existing metal fabricating and machine shop. Before long, it became evident that the business growth was fueled by the Coating operation as the motorcycle parts business was stagnated by the economic landscape. GSD Powder Coating LLC was created in May 2009 to reflect the direction the business was heading. Doing business as GSD Powder Coating and Sandblasting, GSD specializes in custom powder coating, ceramic exhaust/engine coatings, and media blasting. It also became known for its high-quality industrial ceramic firearm coatings operation, amongst several of the large gun manufacturers in the Northeast. In January 2012, GSD relocated to its current location in an effort to address space constraint issues. The transition to the new facility was full of challenges and delays, with regular business operations not resuming until May, and with some more bad luck, Hurricane Sandy devastated our area that same November.GSD Coatings rebounded in 2013 and began building the foundation for the businesses constructed today. The DBA GSD Powder Coating and Sandblasting was officially dropped in favor of the legal name GSD Coatings LLC. GSD Coatings acquired Central Jersey LINE-X in November. Operations were moved to the GSD facility in December with an intense training.
