I have a full set of engine tin to do, plus valve covers, runners and airbox.

Kyle is a friend of mine and a real car guy. They have an oven you can drive an entire car in and they have been in buisness a long time.
Tell him George from the 914 club sent you and he'll only charge double!

Do powder coaters usually have sandblasting or bead blasting capability also?

Posted by: Jeffs9146 Feb 24 2004, 12:21 PM

Most of them prefer to do all the Sandblasting prep work them selfs and they have everything to do it!

wow. thanks for the info. I'll give a few of them a call later. I hope it's not too expensive to powdercoat.

Jeff, how much was it to do your trailing arms? I just need a ballpark to see what i am looking at.

Posted by: Jeffs9146 Feb 24 2004, 02:34 PM

$60, I think it would have been close to the same for two!

Most shops will have a $60-$75 minimum. Don't be afraid to ask them how many pieces you can squeeze in for the minimum.

Warren at Accurate did all my red pieces and does all of my work. Mention the 914 club and get a discount. He has the largest facility I have seen for coating. He has 3-4 different media blast cabinets and a booth large enough to blast a full size GM Surburban.

I took my tin to Warren @ Accurate. Nice guy and you can't go wrong. Good prices and lots of fancy options for those who need a pretty engine! I will try and post some pics next week after I get my tin, shroud, runners, engine bar, and plenum back.
