price of powdercoating
I'm looking into having my swb frame powder coated. what is the going rate for this? I don't want to go in looking like a complete noob and get overpriced, some places just can't be trusted you know. my frame is all the way down to just the frame no rear end and no control arms. I want to hear you guys prices before I start calling up these Carolina establishments.

Re: price of powdercoating
i brought a trailer to be blasted and powdercoated. he wanted 2k for it. Its a trailer big enough to carry a car. (it hauls a bobcat most of the time)
he had originally quoted $750 and changed his mind when he saw it was a bigger trailor than he was thinking of. not much help but maybe it gives you a clue. |

Re: price of powdercoating
May not be much help being I'm in So-Cal but.....last year I had my SWB frame, trailing arms, core support (including brackets and braces), pedals, tubular motor mounts, spring cups, license plate bracket, head light buckets, spare tire mount, bumper brackets, hood latch, tire irons, etc, just about anything that was supposed to be black, 47 pieces in all. $1,100 and change including sand blasting.

Re: price of powdercoating
There was a guy I met at a little import show in Fremont, Ca. This guy told me was well established, and from some place just outside of Reno, NV. I got his card because his prices were outstanding, I wish I knew what his company was called because he was talking about $350-400 for a full frame, and only like $50-100 per wheel depending on size. I lost his flyer and haven't been able to track him down since. If anyone knows who these people are, please let me know. My powdercoating oven can barely fit my door sills, there's no way I'm getting a frame, or a set of 24s in there

Re: price of powdercoating
Primetime not sure how far you're willing to drive but there's a guy in Mooresville, NC (exit 36 off 77) that I highly recommend. A1 Powdercoating, ran by a local guy named Jay. He does great work, takes pride in his work and will redo it if it isn't to his liking, has two huge blasting booths and will blast everything before he shoots it. He didn't do my frame but he's done a bunch of my other parts and always quoted really low prices. I'd be willing to bet he'd quote around 500 depending on what kinda day you catch him on. I paid 980 to have my frame, control arms, core support, and inner fenders done but that was a different shop and they were definitely over priced. Hope this helps, also if you call up Jay tell him Andrew sent you, he may be willing to hook you up a little extra

Re: price of powdercoating
Sandblast and powdercoat cost me about 600. Look for a small shop. The guy I use is owner ran and operated charges much less and takes pride in his company and work. As reference I had a other company powdercoat my rear end housing and was charged 200. My guy I use now did frame, control arms, cross member etc... For 450

Re: price of powdercoating
Just had my 72 shortbed 4x4 frame and all cross members powdercoated for $400.00 . I started to clean up my axles and decided to powdercoat them and she said $100.00 each . How do you stop this madness!! is it a treatable disease ???

I'm getting my wife to price sandblast and paint from the bodyshop her dealership uses too. I know powdercoating is a superior finish but don't know how long I'm going to run these wheels so paint might be a good choice.....
