emtbanshee Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 So I got a quote for pc on my frame j arms and swing arm. Quote was $200 for matte black and white. Does this sound like a fair price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motooutcastxxx Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 That doesn't sound all that bad, out this way the best place to go which is PowderTech charges $200 just for the frame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 powdercoating is a TON of work.. frames take a lot of prep and proper prep on the rest is critical.. 200-300 for a frame depending on the number of coats and where the prep is when you drop it off is about average.

Does this sound like a fair price After you powder coat the stock A arms or J arms, they're junk. If your powdercoater doesn't know that, well, he hasn't been doing it very long.

Starwriter Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 The ball joints have plastic in them. The powder coat oven melts the plastic. Without the plastic, the ball joint will be sloppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzrmbsg Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) gotcha, thanks. I didn't realize the balljoints were not replaceable in the stock arms... Edited January 31, 2012 by yzrmbsg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 makes you wonder how they welded them in huh? The socket part is welded in and then the ball and plastic is dropped in, followed by a metal disk. Then part of the socket is crimped over the edge of the disk to hold it all together. You can't uncrimp it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
