You have to tell where this place is, that is a good price. Is their work quality good?

Billington out of Modesto or even progressive just down the street from them. And I've had all my sheet metal powder primed up in Lodi had my whole bed tailgate and a left front fender done for 500$ last year course he's a little nicer to me since he warped my current hood. I feel that powder coat/prime is extremely reasonable compared to all the time labor and materials anyone would use to paint and seal their body parts or suspension/wheels themselves

In Lodi on Vine st right off the freeway is called precision powder coating that is where I had my front clip and bed done the guys name is Phil and the ones in Modesto right off of carpenter exit do most of my suspension/little parts/inner fenders is called Billington and or Progressive down the street from them that's the places I deal with if you were looking to do a few nick nack parts Modesto would be better.

My only bad experience would be that they warped my factory paint 71 hood which i was irate about and he was truly sorry and definitely discounted the price by I have a spare hood that ill do so I'm not upset anymore just wishe I would have paint stripped most of it before sending it up there. Other than that powder prime on the insides of my bedsides and insides of my front fenders almost as good as when GM dipped the parts from factory and will definitely last forever I also used their high build grey powder which can be body worked immediately I should have pictures of their pieces on my build in the earlier pages
