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!

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.

You should post the shop so others in SoCal/OC/SD have a good tried-n-true PC source.

I am in OC San Clemente and I need a powdercoat source (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Any recommendations?
