Bandit Marine Products a little longer but covers anything you could make. Its a name and you have the brand already expand on it. you should have what you are selling in the name as it brings more substance to the name. Bandit Marine is as good as anything its your name already so go with what makes you see the big picture.

Deciding on a name is always challenging. Try to avoid easily defined descriptive names/images that don't really represent the product or service you provide.

Some names/images trigger an inherently funny or negative response, "bandit" = stealing, "zero" = low...and many others.

Consider a name that can also be easily abbreviated, for obvious reasons.

Do you have a name for you automotive side? Perhaps tie it in.

How about Marine Powdercoating Systems (MPS)?

At the end of the day, it is all about the quality and the service.

So how much to to powdercoat a take-off pair of magnessium valve covers from my 08 GT? Just a test - I already had it done. Cheers.

Ya I know now about the Image Bandit-Stealing but to late to change the powder name now. Bandit Powdercoat it has been for almost 5 years now.


A set of Mag covers. About $50 for the set in a solid color. Any masking, 2nd coating, Previous coatings strip is extra. Not sure what 08 GT covers look like, that price is pretty average for V8 covers. Only difference in Magnesium is that I can't use strippers on it, pretty much media blasting to remove previous coatings. Strippers can react with the magnesium, sometimes with not so nice results.

Is this a Ford GT or a GT500 mustang?

I like Reef Bandit (it's a catchy name and sounds cool) and I like the cowboy ridding seahorse pic.

Also if you're curious this is a pic. of a bandit angelfish
