If I have the frame already to go, as in freshly sandblasted, how much approx should I expect to pay for a PC job? It would just be the stock black color.

When they prime it, is thet PC'ed too?

I'm from Slatington PA..........anyone know a place close by that has reasonable prices? Anyone on HERE live close by and do PCing?

Even if I had to ship it to you, it might still pay to do so, since the frame is so small, maybe?
Dammit!

No primer required with powder.

At the place I use out here I'd expect to pay fifty to sixty for a 110 frame.

No primer with PCing............I never knew that. So why not?

They put a current of electricity through the metal for the powder to stick. Then they cook it at around 400 degrees for a bit. The powder goes straight on the metal, no need to primer. I beleive no primer because the powder wont stick to the metal as well when theres already a coat of paint. Just make sure you get it to the coater soon, dont want rust to deal with.

Stock Frame?....hmm........ tend to flex.....wouldn't powdercoat it, only to have it flake and crack off:welcome:

If its a good powder job, it shouldn't just "flake" and crack off. :welcome:

That's what I would think, the painter was most likely the one that was a bit "flaky".

Thats fine, if thats what you think......powdercoat away....:w00t:

but don't deny that stock frames dont twist and flex somewhat.....:TrikesOwn

powdercoatings are like epoxies, they won't flex and when applied to a flexible surface......they fail:postwhore :banned: :welcome:
