Default Reasonable powder coating

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)



Here is the intake for my car, done in the same imperfect wrinkle






Here are the engine brackets done is a flat/satin black(first pics shows gloss black however)





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.

Thanks guys, spread the word

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

Is powder coating rims a good idea?

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

Would they even look good?

Would it look ghetto?

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?

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.
