Default Powder Coating Calipers

I'm thinking about getting my calipers powder coated black. If I take them apart and deliver them to the shop is $150 a reasonable price to pay ? They say if I deliver them Thurs nite (they will stay open for me) I will have them back Fri afternoon.

Is that a good price ?

I don't know if it's a COMPARABLE price, but I just got done painting mine with a 2-part epoxy paint (took them off the car to do a more thorough job), and if I had to do it again, I'd GLADLY pay $150 for a 1-day turnaround... What a PITA!!!

Seems pretty reasonable especially when you factor in the PITA factor.

Hey, Chris. I have been thinking of doing the same thing. I also live in So. Cal. Where are you having the powder coating done. I may be their next customer. Thanks.
