TheBansheeMan86 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 ...sniff, sniff.....do you smell that? 487131[/snapback] smell what? anyway, no its actually a woman that runs the place. she does extremely nice work, and she does business under the table (no tax! woot). she didnt seem hurting for cash, it was as if her workers did all the commercial work, and she just liked doing the custom stuff like that for fun. hey, i wont complain, the work was top notch and i got it for cheap. when i get new a-arms/swingarm etc i'll get it all done there too along with my mountain bike frame.

nutcase Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 We built an oven which is large enough to fit frames.The results are awesome as you can see from the pics.Im going to finish up the powdercoating this week.The frame is blue but to contrast I did the swingarm,carrier,hubs,footpegs,shifter,kickstarter candy red which looks killer.Will get pics of those up soon.

dadudeinbiloxi Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) Wow you did get a steal.Blasting takes a good hour which anyplace usually charges 70 bucks just to blast..The powdercoat is easily 60-75 bucks.That guy must have been hurting for cash 487106[/snapback] Actually I don't know about the hurting for cash part. I actually found a local powder coater on the coast here that have done bikes etc before so i asked them how much for just my frame he goes swingarm? no, just frame. i told him i wanted candy blue with a clearcoat and i asked if that with sandblasted too and he told me like $150 i was like ummm but I haven't seen there work in person but the guy even offered me to come in and check out stuff. btw the stuff looks real nice.

nutcase Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks for the compliment.I could drop the price down a bit.Around here you can't get anything powdercoated for under 400.I though 3 was a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYquadsFaster Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 sounds about rigt to me..im from michigan and i had my powdercoating done through some guy at my dads work that was starting a powdercoat business.. i ended up paying almost 1300 to have my frame, swingarm, a arms, hubs, dust covers, shifter, brake lever, pegs, cylinders, clutch cover, tie rods, swingarm carrier, sprocket, bumper and brake disk all sand blasted and PC basic black and red... he said the preperation was a bitch with all the threads he had to plug or tape off on the frame and he had to send the frame out to get sand blasted because his blaster couldnt fit it in there. cant wait to see some more pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
