Default Powder coater needed

Anyone know a good powder coater that could handle an intake manifold affordably? F12X@comcast.net

Hi Kelvin, long time no talk! Try Curtis at Melrose in Oakland, 510-568-7083. He did my stuff and it turned out sweet.

Good to hear from you as well. How's that sweet Vert of yours doing? I'll give your guy a call tomorrow. I got an old ported SR I wanna get cleaned up and then sell/trade. What was this guy's prices like?

It's a SuperRam, looking to have it done in an aluminum color or polished.

Thanks

Talk to Rich (Corvette0096 as to who he used for his polishing. The guy is fantastic and did a great job. But my personal opinion is it's way to much flash on a piece tha big.

I meant to say polished looking powder coated (almost chrome) or natural aluminum color.

That has a tendancy to cloud some with the clear.

Hey Kelvin, there's a place down here, right down the street. They did a bunch of parts for my friends truck, came out nice.

Default Re: Powder coater needed (TIMSPEED)

just for my future reference, how much does powder coating typically cost? I think it'd be pretty snazzy to eventually give my engine bay in my 85 a theme of some kind. I remember seeing some forum member's purple powder coated vette at the scottsdale pavilion's car show once... I want to do that some day, so I'm trying to figure out what I need for budgeting.
