Looking to get the engine tin powdercoated. What is a fair price? Had one estimate, seemed really big to me. I realize this will vary from here to there, but what have others paid for this service?
Anyone have any good references for the mpls/st paul MN area? Dave |

Different markets as well as different vendors will charge differently. That said, one place in So. CA estimated $300 to powder coat all the engine tin (approx. 9 pieces), an engine mount and a muffler mount.
If I had time, they suggested I wait for additional customer(s) with the same color needs and have it done at the same time to help reduce their setup and processing time. I eventually used another vendor who charged me $200 (ouch, but no waiting for others). I think the spread is wide enough to shop around and ask. There are also privateers who powder coat in their own facilities. Do a Google search with PelicanParts as a preface search term for links. Add shipping costs and comfort factor to a distant location. Rattle can is an option as well, but powder coating should be more durable in the long term. Sherwood |
