Calling on those of you that are familiar with powder coating. I have never worked with powder coating before. I am looking for some help to determine if the quote is fair.
I took the suspension components to a local powder coater to get a quote. Got a quote of $400. The quote was for both sand blasting and powder coating. The quote was split about 200 for the sandblasting and about 200 for the coating. The sandblasting seemed high to me and the powder coating seemed low. But overall $400 seems ok to me. I took everything in the pic and both rear trailing arms also. Here is what I took in for the quote. suspension protection cover 2 front A arms the 4 bushing caps for the A arms 2 brackets that go in front of the A arms 2 front struts and 2 tubes all 4 brake dust shields aux support 2 half shafts 2 trailing arms 2 trailing arm mounts The color quoted was gloss black. I couldn't find another color that I thought would look good with Signal Orange. Do you think that $400 is good/bad for blasting and coating these parts? Thanks Attached image(s)
