Sent my stuff out to powdercoat!!!!

[mywifeknowseverything]

Finally got enough parts to make it worth while to powdercoat...Found a guy around town that does it at his house to save on overhead...Needless to say he is real cheap!!! Heres what I sent out:

Frame-Black Metal Flake

Exhaust-Almost Chrome (He called it OKIE CHROME)LOL

Swinger-Almost Chrome

Carrier- Black (As Above)

Axle-Almost Chrome

I will post some pics next week when he is done....Price you ask....
Sandblasted and PowderCoated 150.00 out the door....
Not too bad..
I bought my hubs already coated yellow...Do you think that might look decent..Or should I pick another color...

Tell me what you think.

yellow hubs are cool. man you got a great price. post some pics when you get them back. i would like to see how the almost chrome comes out.

what does he do about the splines and threads? are they powder coated also or covered up?

thanks,
mark

He covered the threads and splines..I will post pics as soon as she is home in the garage...I also would like to see how the Almost Chrome comes out...I dont think I have ever seen it...Later

All of that for 150 bucks? WOW! WHat a deal! Wish I could find somebody that cheap

I got my parts home this morning and have been trying to take a nice pic ever since....I just cant seem to get the camera to capture the exceptional color of this frame..Or the other parts of that matter....I wanted the black with a light metal flake, This guy went the extra mile and put what he called "Abalone"(spelling) flake in it...When the sun hits it, it sparkles all sorts of colors!!! He added it to all the other parts as well...The Almost Chrome parts came out a little less impressive but nice just the same...I guess the clear coat dulls it alittle...Oh well, over all I am happy!!!! Just not happy about the pics..
