# Material Tips: Powder Coat

**Powder Coated:** Most powder coats are easy to work with, as the laser simply removes the powder coating to reveal the underlying material. To enhance the contrast between the two, it is recommended to polish the underlying material, commonly aluminum or stainless steel. This can be polished to shine with many store-bought metal cleaners.
