Black wrinkle powder coat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bram · 10-06-2003, 10:14 AM

It finally feels like I'm making progress! Here is my frame back from the powder coaters. I had it done in black wrinkle. I'm not looking for a shiny finish because I live 3 1/2 miles down a dirt road and that shine just doesn't seem to stay.

This actually makes it look shiny because of the flash but it's not.

I did all the springs too.

Now the fender wells and the radiator support on the other hand got a gloss powder coat, I wanted everything under the hood to shine.

Thanks for the compliment 72shadetree.
Rock chips are a very common thing on all my vehicles. The price I pay for living in the country wouldn't have it any other way!

Yes, I wish I was still in the country.

Ddi you powder coat springs with bushings in them? If so how did you protect them? I have some new ones I would like to clean and paint or have powdercoated but am concerned about damaging bushings.

Bram · 10-07-2003, 08:52 AM

No I pulled them out because I had them sand blasted then powder coated.

cheyenne10, When I had my springs powdered I had to take them completely apart ! Then they sand blasted and and powdered, Them. They came out great, and according to the guys at the powder coaters they should ride better. Good luck, with your project. Landon

that looks awsome man. if you don't mind, how much?

Bram · 10-07-2003, 09:02 PM

Thanks low 84.
It was just over $500.00 total for the frame, front and rear springs, and a whole lot of misc parts.

Denny · 10-07-2003, 09:54 PM

The powder coating looks great. I wish there was someone around the St. Louis area that powder coats, I have a buddy seat frame that I need powder coated.

jorgensensc · 10-07-2003, 09:59 PM

Any idea (approximately) how much it costs for a blazer tank and straps to get powdercoated?

Bram · 10-08-2003, 05:05 PM

jorgensensc it all depends on the shop, so it's really hard to say.

mocwon · 10-08-2003, 05:26 PM

Looks really nice. That is a great idea, even for highways and paved roads!!!

woodyjeff · 10-08-2003, 09:11 PM

The powdercoating looks great and I think 500 bucks was cheap I looked into having my rally rims done and they wanted $140 just for the four rims. By the way, I love the Eagle Globe and Anchor, oorah Marine Corps
