Got all my bits back from the powdercoaters. I am very happy. Part of my job involves painting so I do not usually consider powdercoating. I did all the window/targa trim and the mirrors. I am very happy with the results and the value $300.00 for all this.

Keep us posted on how the powder coated trim looks. I'msure there are quite a few people who would follow that route once they see pictures.
Very nice! |

I decided to do it after seeing another lister here comment on how good it looked. I feel it is a great improvment. The old stuff was not too bad but it did look it's age. I will post pics when intsalled.

Looking Good!
Powder coating is a great way to go. It's quick (drop off/pick up), looks great and is reasonably priced. You coated parts that I had never considered - mirrors and roll bar trim. Share more pics of these with us especially when you have them installed. |

I'm wondering... did you remove the anodizing on those trim parts before you powdercoated?

$300.00cdn. I lightly sanded the trim just to get the scratches out. There were some dents in the sail trim so I filled them with metalset. There were parts with the anodizing intact. They never indicated it was a problem.
