want to powder coat some of my bits, but want to know a rough price first if poss, just so i have an idea or too, if it is dependant on size of the item then does anyone know roughly how much to powder coat


S2 rocker cover size item and thermostat housing size item, as that should give me a rough idea,

depends on how difficult it is to clean up mate, and what colour do you want cos i can get cheap powdercoating done for you mate, as you let me park at yours last year

what is powdercoating

can you powder coat anything??

Fudgey

powder coating is basically painting mate.

you can only coat metals

you spray on a powder then cook it and it melts onto the metal. it is harder than normal paint but the finish is not quite as good as it can go orange peely

the red cam cover and the silver bits at the ends of my strut brace are powder coat mate.

cheers for the info

but why powdercoat something as opposed to just painting it?

Fudgey

its easier, and depends a lot on the application as powder coat is more scratch resistant and harder so wont chip off.

dont need primer etc either
