powder coating oahu

Guys with all pro sliders, how much did cost to get them pc?

 

240 at Mekela

 

Exactly what I'm planning, just gotta find time. Dropped my sliders off at Sunset on Friday.

 

How much Sunset asking to do sliders?

 

I contacted him about doing my T4R Trail wheels. Kinda pricey at $150 per wheel but he explained how much work is involved in doing it. I may just go aftermarket instead because I like wider rims anyway

 

Wow I was quoted $600

 

They told me $200-$300 depending on how complicated. Then I think the final price came out to $290 after tax.

 

Thanks, Nate

 

Pretty much what I was quoted.

 

No prob

 

..... did get work on my slidders

 

I'm planning on ordering sliders from the Pelfreybilt GB ... Was planning on getting them powder coated by them ... What's the reasoning, if other than supporting local business, which I'm more than down with, to order them bare and get them powdered here? Cheaper?

 

I would personally have pelfrey send them to line-x... we don't have line-x here.....

 

Definitely not cheaper.
Some say they want to powdercoat locally because there's a risk of shipping them powdercoated (scratches).
Some say sliders and skids aren't worth powdercoating at all because they'll get scruffed up anyway.

 

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

Its comparable in pricing depending on where you go.

 

IMO the quality of the pelfrey powdercoating sucks. You pay for what you get, and you would pay a lot more at sunset, but I definitely think it would turn out better.
But.... I'd still have pelfrey coat it for cheap.
-might get scratched during shipping, but they package it well
-you're only going to mess up armor and touch it up with spray paint anyway
-it won't start rusting on the boat ride over, then you'll have to sand it all off if you paint it yourself

My powdercoating didn't have full coverage on the backside of the bumper, I had to spray paint in the corners to prevent rust, it rubs off way too easy IMO, trees and such, and even gives off color with solvents, like paints do. I wax it to try protect it, but its already starting to fade after a year.

 

my shits faded. sunset powder coated my front bumper, and pelfrey did my rear. It is a nice thick coat, and pretty durable. one of these days I'm gonna rattle can it and make it nice again lol. I did get the textured powder, so not sure if that has anything to do with it. Pretty hard to wax, as its a bit porous.

 

front and rear is faded? or just rear?

 

both. but i park in the sun every day. ewa desert....
