Reasonable powder coating

[Shaolin Crane]

I've come to the conclusion that for the next month or so I'm willing to do powdercoating at a rate significantly cheaper than what a shop will do, however I only have a few colors left and am just looking to make right on that tire I blew out before my birthday weekend.

There will be no minimum, most shops have a mandatory minimum that's they just won't budge on, if its tiny and I can throw it in with another batch it will be cheap. Nor will I charge for stripping and blasting and masking, all I ask is you remove/disassemble anything you don't want blasted. Also if its simlple and I can do it quickly you can watch and wait while I work

Here is a intake and valve covers I did for a 4v in an imperfect wrinkle, shops charge 500-700 for this (I called quite a few to check on for it)

Feel free to contact me with whatever you have and we'll work out a great price, I have limited colors currently so most take about 6 business days to get, but go ahead and tell me what you have.

So it looks like that tape worked out for ya?

[Shaolin Crane]

Thanks guys, spread the word ;)

Tape worked out perfectly, didn't melt or leave residue.

[DarkestSpade]

Is powder coating rims a good idea?

[Shaolin Crane]

sure but I have size constrictions, largest rims I could do currently are probably 17" but that's really pushing it.

[DarkestSpade]

I dont even know what the rims are called but I sort of want them black..
Would they even look good?

Would it look ghetto?

It's either that or buy these

or

[Shaolin Crane]

I love black rims, especially on dark or black cars. I believe those are 18s so I'm gonn say they won't fit in my oven, are they currently mounted to your car?

[DarkestSpade]

Yes they are on my car, I think they are 17s too will double check in the morning. Don't know if I should get bigger rims for bigger tires or make these black. Either way I have a g5 alloy stang with the elenor scoops. Want to put a black stripe and black rims on it.

How much for a upper and lower intake mani and a valve cover in wrinkle black and just plain black?

I wish you could do ceramic coatings.

[Vettezuki]

Can you do wrinkle red a la ferrari? We have some valve covers from a VG30ET.

Also, some rims from a Taco (in black I think), but I'm guessing those will be too large.

What intake? Wrinkle will require a deposite and be about 6 days to get more powder, I used the last of it finishing some of my stuff.

Black I can have finished asap depending on the intake, pics are always a huge help

Pictures will help imensly, I can do red wrinkle if I can find the powder, but I'm not sure how close to ferarri red it will be, very limited colors with wrinkle powders.

Sorry, didn't mean Ferrari red speicifically, but like Ferrari does, red and wrinkly.

Like zo. Click on it for big'n.

Let me look into finding the powder

[Damian]

I'll try and pull everything off today and post up the pics.

[Shaolin Crane]

Is it for the eclipse? I would assume so since the gto has a plastic intake

[Shaolin Crane]

Ok Ben I found your red powder, looks very similar to the ferrari powder

[Vettezuki]

Therefore can do? PM with price for pair of valve covers.

[Damian]

It's for the Eclipse. Intake mani is smaller than the one you did for the Stang. I'll pm you some pics as soon as I get the engine and trans pulled and pull it off.

[Shaolin Crane]

So did you ever get those pulled? Ben did you ever check on the intake?

[Vettezuki]

So did you ever get those pulled? Ben did you ever check on the intake?

I'll check with my brother tonight.

[Damian]

I'll get pics to you by Friday evening. I can wait a bit on the intake mani to be powder coated but I would like you to media blast my rusty turbo parts so I can paint them soon. PM me your number so I can talk to you about it please.

[Damian]

Do you just do media blasting? I now have 6 calipers that need to be done. 2 are mine and 4 are for a buddy of mine. They are Evo Brembos and they supposedly weeken when powder coated. My lazy ass will send you pics tomorrow and call you as well. My 2 year old wears me out!

[Shaolin Crane]

Any metal wears out when you blast it, depending on what I'm coating and the composition of the metal I'll only dust the part before I coat it, that is if there is any concern of the quality of the metal. Problem with blast is the sand gets everywhere, so just assume they need to be torn down and rebuilt for safety.

Send me pics of everything and we'll work something out

[Shaolin Crane]

Bump, still here.

[Shaolin Crane]

Bump

[Damian]

Post up on mkrsocal.com for powder coating. I'm sure some guys over there will take you up on some work. My Eclipse drained me pretty good, so I have to hold up on some work I want done, unfortunately. If you sign up over there, send me a pm so I can approve your account, we've been getting a ton of spammers over there.

[Leedom]

Guy, do you have any blue powder? I think I am going to do my upper a-arms for the truck in blue.

[94cobra69ss396]

Do them black.

[Shaolin Crane]

Yeah i agree, if you do them blue it will look like POS fabtech stuff, just doesnt look right

[Chuck]

Do you have red and a bigger oven yet my chick wants her bike frame done.

[Shaolin Crane]

I have red, but not a bigger oven yet, however my oven did burst into flames over the weekend so i'll probably be building one soon

[Leedom]

Do them black.

Yeah i agree, if you do them blue it will look like POS fabtech stuff, just doesnt look right

If I do not do them in blue then I would prefer gray. Like a Camburg Gray.

[94cobra69ss396]

Either black or gray but not blue. It's not that Fabtech stuff is junk either because it's not. I used to have Fabtech radius arms on a Ranger I had and they worked well. It's just that blue as well as red on suspension looks like crap.

[Shaolin Crane]

I agree and thats what i meant, it makes them look cheap, when it comes to suspension pieces its black for me.

What about silver? Im about to pick up a few pounds of silver for my stuff, if you want silver it'll probably be a bit cheaper since the more i order the cheaper it is.

[Shaolin Crane]

Bump it up, about to order some more powder for myself and another job. Means its your chance to save, also need the finishing supplies to paint my car so i'll drop prices even more to entice people. Even more for the homie discount.

[Leedom]

Thanks for the offer but I already bought the paint. I do stuff need the brake items I PM'ed a while back. You never got back to me with a price.

I wasnt bumping specifically for you, also I do not recall the brake stuff. let me look.

[Shaolin Crane]

I remember now, just call Ed's ask for eddy and mention motorgen.

Will do once I get back from Vegas!

[Shaolin Crane]

Due to suddon changes in my equipments functionality and my personal time being monopolized by powdercoating I am no longer performing coating work. Maybe sometime in the future but for now i am removing myself from availability. Thanks to those who did bring me work, take care.

Man I really need a exta set of wheels so I can get my evo 8 wheels powdercoated white.

[Shaolin Crane]
