About how much should one expect to pay to have a 200S frame powder coated the stock black? Does that price include prepping (sandblasting it) it also?

Between $50-$70, media blasting included.

I've never heard of a frame being done that cheap.

Send a pm to Quickonstep. He does powder coating.

Really? I used to work at a powdercoating plant, and I didnt think frames were that expensive. Given it's been about 3 years, I thought I was somewhat close.

Most of the prices I've found for something like a 250R frame is in the $250 range. I'll let Quick answer for himself. He beat every other price I've found by a good margin though.

well.. for you guys on here.. and on org, im cuttin yall a big break... but thats just because this is a great place and alot of you guys get shafted by the dealer for parts, and im kinda giving some back to you guys..

for any frame, (3 wheeler) i can do for 80 bux, with a 1 week turn around (7 days) yall pay the shipping, and SHIP IN A BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when you get the frame back, it will look just as it did when it rolled off the assembly line over in hong kong or wherever it came from... absolutly no difference, and will garentee the finish until you start building on it.. and will even go as far as sending pix before the peice is sent back out..

I have some of dammits parts, and thats what we are doing right now, going back and forth with some colors, some different schemes, until there is somthing HE likes.. I dont mind working with people to get what THEY want for a GREAT price..

This is what I got done locally about 6 weeks ago for $150...with blast.
$80 is a good deal, if the shipping does not do you in.

I just turned mine in today. a 350x and a 200x. They are 75 bux each. I also am turning several hubs, 3 sets of footpegs, Brake pedal, and a bunch of other stuff, for black it is $40. He is fixing the Crack in my 350x frame that showed up last summer, for $10. I dont know where you all shop, but...............

I've never heard of anything that cheap for powder coating. The guy doesn't sound to bright if he's charging $10 for frame repair. Sounds like he needs to be less of a "cut throat" operator.

i could probably get away with doing that if i were NOT sandblasting the parts down to bare metal, cleaning them, and taking the time to make sure they are nice and clean, bubble wrapped for shipping or being picked up.. or if they were being acid dipped.. which will have to be EXTREAMLY cleaned so the powder will stick.. and not react with any chemicals.. cheapest ive heard is from some guys up in the northwest that get it done pretty cheap.. but again.. its all about where you live, who you deal with, and who you can trust..

Hmm must sounded like a major insult my post considering.... Ah well, sorry it wasnt meant that way. These prices listed seemed to me extremely high. No not yours Quick. Oldschoolin I will be sure to tell him to quit being such a "cut throat". Whatever the heck that means.......

Funny tho the guy knew exactly how to fix it. Maybe I save because when I choose to paint I plan my colors. So I turn in several items wanting the same color. Oh and it is being sandblasted.

no not offended by your post at all.. everyone needs competition to thrive.. just saying that for me tobeable to do so much for so little, id have to cut out alot.. if parts came to me prepped and ready, the price would drop CONSIDERABLY!
