The powdercoating cost is not gonna be as cheap as planned. Somebody called the place asking for quotes recently and they put something on file.

I'll get a finalized cost today for those waiting.

Everything will still be media blasted, primer & zinc coating prior to paint and will have 6 month or longer warranty on workmanship.

After this run, I won't be doing group coating anymore.

 

... most likely me..

Called around to a couple of places to get an idea how much it would run, but no one gave me a definite price for anything.. I always got the "you need to bring it in first"...

 

Guess it'll be full price no matter where we gone then...

Hell, I'm gonna do some pricing this weekend...

 

Quit upstaging me!

 

Sunset did my bumper for $300. Not too shabby..

 

Did you take it down already???


One of the places I called as well, but no even "ballpark" quote given.

 

So we should just look for a different spot then?

 

Should just wait and see what kind of deal mike can get from the current production.

 

Yeah, pau next week.

 

Sounds good, just tryin to get the general thought.

 

Mekala's in Campbell may be a bit cheaper, but I had plenty issues with them. I build lots of motorcycles and used to have them PC the frames. Everytime I ask them not to sand blast the head tube bearing races....everytime they would blast them to the point of no return. After 5 frames, I took my business elsewhere. Sunset has been super good, just more expensive.

 

I have used Sunset a lot. All the stuff on my Kawasaki mule and my sliders. 2-3 days.
they can give rough estimate if you email them a pic and dimensions. They have for me anyway. I'll ask my friend if his shop is set up yet. He hates sunset

 

roughly it'll be around 200-230 per bumper and 40-50ish for skids.

hoping I can still improve the cost.

 

I bet sunset would be around $500 for a front bumper...
I paid over $200 for my sliders

 

That's very reasonable for zinc undercoat etc.

 

damn i want my all pro rear already lol.
How much you guys think to pc with the side plates?

 

Should you still zinc coat aluminum or just steel???

 

Makes sense for steel, but why aluminum... Seems powder coating would be good enough. For steel I assume it aids in rust prevention...
