I got an update from a local powdercoating company that I deal with every so often.
They are raising prices 10% across the board because of the tariff.
Eventually I hope to have my own capability.
There is other stuff that is higher priority.
Stop with those facts, you globalists, socialist, negative nellie. Trump has got this, now shut and follow along you. Trump's assumption that we have 100's of thousands of ex steelworkers just waiting around and steel companies with billions in capital just ready to purchase equipment and ramp up production. We have neither, so what it's job training and low interest loans to the steel industry? See the slippery slope? Call me cynical but this was a political move if I ever saw one. Please save me the pieties about "What about defense capability and the ability to purchase materials?". We have enough steel making capabilities to make more than enough tanks, Humvees and artillery pieces. this is a bad move and historical data has proven without a shadow of doubt that in the long run leads to trade wars and overall raising prices of consumer durables and other goods. Petulant politics usually leads to unforeseen consequences.
“They are raising prices 10% across the board because of the tariff.”
Seems premature. They don’t even know at this point, that offending suppliers will reduce costs in other areas. There are likely other suppliers.

So there is a tariff on powder coating, who know? LOL.
You are being conned. Your supplier can have no idea at this point that they will be effected.
Get someone else to do the work for you if at all possible.
