Just wondering what I should expect to pay to get....VVV.....Powdercoated.

4=Rotors4=Caliper Brackets2=Spindles2= Lower link Bars1=Wishbone2=UCA2=LCA

I've never had anything coated and just wondering what it should cost. I can have them painted for just about nothing but I would like to have them powdercoated for durability, but not spend a ton doing it. thanks for the help.

I paid about $350 for the same amount of stuff roughly. Including all the prep. Blasting, acid dip, neutral wash, heat dry, masking, epoxy primer to smooth it all out, cureing, wetsand, color and cure once again.

That's the kind of price i'm looking for......I have 3 places close. I'm going to call them tomorrow. Just wanted a rough idea for what it would cost. Thanks Seth. About how long was the turn around.

It was 2 weeks for me, but I had the frame done too, and there was a big mix up with my colro powder. They had everything done in 4 days and ready for color, just didn't get color for a while.

So in normal unproblematic circumstances, a week.

Just don't powdercoat where the brake pads touch.

I added a few things to the list after talking to the powdercoater today.
4-calipers
1-differential Cover

I got a couple different qoutes today. One for $300 which included sandblasting, acid dip, etc. One for $260 which included all the above, and then $200 from a place where I have to do all the prep, all they do is tape it off, wipe it down, and powder it. I'm leaning towards the $260 because prep work is not my fortee (sp) Then I got a bogus qoute from a line-x guy to spray my frame for $700. That's with me doing all the prep work on it. He said that when doing something like this there is alot of waste of the product. I told him I could have it podercoated for less than that. I think they guy just didn't want to touch it. LOL He's the only guy in town though.
