    I am fairly new to SC and am looking for recommendations for a good welder in Mt. Pleasant or Charleston general area that works with aluminum that can repair some deep scratches to my aluminum front bumper. The bumper is not on the truck now. Whole bumper may need to be sand blasted and re-powder coated after also depending on how much area is scuffed/sanded for repair areas. So recommendations on a good powder coating shop would also be appreciated. Or better yet a shop that does both welding and powder coating.

    Thanks in advance!

    Being brand new, I would assume you've already contacted the vendor?

    Check in with @EddyRRT at SOS Concepts. I think he is moving his shop from just outside of Charleston to Laurens, SC.

    Yes I have contacted the vendor and they are working with me on a solution. Since shipping is so expensive both ways I am trying to get it fixed up locally. SOS seems to be the only local shop I can find that specializes in road armor so I think its probably my best bet. I will give them a call thanks!

    Does anyone have any contact information for SOS Concepts? I tried their phone a few times and it goes right to a message and says voicemail box not set up.

    If not recommendations for a good aluminum welder and possible powder coat shop in Charleston area would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
