Looks great and that is awesome pricing.
I took a bunch of stuff locally that I had mostly blasted myself, this included trailing arms, backing plates, etc. I was very pleased when the bill came in for $145 and it looked great. I then brought a 2nd batch including engine tins, engine mounting bar, etc. I let him blast and coat all of these. Nearly crapped when he sent me an invoice this evening for $500. Lesson learned. Trust no one., even if you dealt with them before. Get a quote up front. |

BTW, should you need to remove powder coat ... CRC gasket remover, wait 60 seconds, and wipe with a rag. Gone in a flash.

Those parts look great!
I'm about 24 hours into wire-brushing, cleaning, rustproofing and painting all my tin with a rattle can. Would have paid the $250. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

I just sent over one of Ben's new aluminum 914-6 oil tanks to get done. They did a nice job on my origional tank so I threw it in while I was taking over a batch of parts for a customer. They know my standing order is always satin black.

My Elephant Racing poly-bronze bushings slide over the powder coating without any problem at all. I just added a thin layer of JB Weld over the powder coating and slide the bushing on while slightly rotating it to distribute the JB Weld. They fit like a glove.

This is really helpful info and good timing since I found out that there is some powder coating that got into the ball joint bore on my front struts. I was trying to decide how to clean it out but now I have the solution! Jeff B |

Kypton tape can be used to mask off areas prior to powder coating as it can withstand the oven temps. Comes off easily after the part cools and leaves a nice sharp line.

QUOTE(Tom_T @ Feb 5 2016, 12:19 PM) You should post the shop so others in SoCal/OC/SD have a good tried-n-true PC source. Bump old thread! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) I am in OC San Clemente and I need a powdercoat source (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Any recommendations? |
