There are several powder coating companys in the area. One I have used several times is Air Born Coatings. With NASCAR around Charlotte, there will always be someone powder coating for them. Look them up on the web.

a friend of mine has a great powdercoater he uses in the high point area if interested i could find the name

I located a place in Mocksville, creativefinishing.com. However, I'm a little concerned with how cheap they are (shocking concern, i know). Most places, including Air Born (thanks scott's69) seem to be in the $750 range for sand blasting and powder coating, but Creative Finishing is only $400. Thoughts anyone?

Thanks cdowns, I'll be taking my frame to Unique Coatings tomorrow. They quoted me $700 btw...10 business day turn-around.

That a pretty fast turn around... I haven't priced powder in our area quite yet.

Are you going to powder coat your front suspension pieces as well?

i'm sure you'll be very happy with thier work// mention that you were refered by rich oakley so he gets some goodie points built up with them

trebeck · 02-15-2008, 06:04 AM

Will do cdowns.

Regarding the front suspension 72blckbuty, I'll be strapping on Air Rides upper and lower control arms, so only the main frame/crossmember pieces will be coated with this application.

I'm hoping to venture into powder coating the other random pieces myself. Currently in the process of building a blasting cabinet.
