Powder Coating Price.... Help!
I want to have my frame and miscelaneous suspension pieces powder coated. I just got a quote from a local company of $300 for everything. This includes them blasting the frame and I blast the small pieces. Is this a good deal or am I being over charged?
Thanks

I think it's a hell of a deal.
I had tubular upper/lower controls, upper/lower ball joints and spindles done and was charged $90. Although removed, mine included taping off the ball joints etc. (detail work)
I'd say you got a good thing going. :cheers:

That's one hell of a deal. I was quoted around $400 by two different shops for doing my frame... my motorcycle frame :eek: No blasting either.
Make sure they know what they are doing, though. Do they have a big enough oven to stick your frame in? The main advantage of powder coating is that it won't scrath, but I once had the triple tree for my bike powder coated and I could scratch it with my fingernails :rolleyes:

Thanks for the response guys. I'll have to check in to whether the price includes degreasing. As far as baking.... This is a industrial shop that handles large shipyard repairs but works car pieces in between. My frame and a few others will fit in their oven at the same time.

sound like a great deal. You may want to acid dip the frame though. sand blasting only gets the outside of the frame and it can still rust through.

What type of supplier would perform acid dipping? If the frame is acid dipped does it still require sand blasting? Can the powder coating be applied to the surface after acid dipping? Never considered rusting from the inside out. Gotta luv this forum. Also, I'll be contacting you guys on rebuilding my TA's.
Thanks

Well I supply Acid Dipping. There is no need to sand blast it afterwards.Yes you can power coat or paint the frame afterwards. We do frame offs all day long and they all get acid dipped. We've done many NCRS cars as well. :yesnod:
