I got a quote today on getting these parts powder coated. The guy gave me a ballpark price based on these pics. He said between $550 to $850. Is this a fair price?

As with any paint job, the toughest part is in the preparation of the materials to be painted,... or in this case powder coated. So if those prices he gave you includes cleaning all those parts up, media blasting them to bare metal, and then powder coating & baking,... then yea seems like a fair price to me.

Although I'm probably not a good judge of price for these services, as I do my own powder coating in my garage. Many years ago when my wife wanted a new kitchen stove (even though ours was still working fine - oven worked, just one of the top burners was out). I took that oven & put it out in my garage... that's what I use to bake the parts. I bought a Eastwood Powder Coating kit (includes the transformer to electrify the part, and the gun to shoot the powder), and since I had been painting car parts for decades, I already had a media blasting cabinet, as well as a outdoor soda blaster.

So yea, if you can just give this guy that many dirty oily parts, and he'll prep them & powder coat them,... 5 or 6 hundred bucks isn't bad. Ask him how many years he will guarantee the powder coating not to flake off.

That's seems cheap...

I do my own powder coating too...

Blasting those parts is probably several hours of work, at least.

Call it 5 hours, with a small blaster... That's a lot of parts. A sandblasting place would probably charge $400 to blast that.

Now, powdercoating it and heat. Hours work, plus materials.

Doing the fan and sh round is probably $500+

$550 is silly cheap.
$850... Cheap...

Wanna make a few extra bucks doing a set of track wheels??

ahh, I'm still behind in my own parts (for mine & my sons '68 & '69 Camaro parts). Luckily he went off to college, so I have breathing room.

Appreciate the ask, but not enough time.

Thanks for your feedback guys!
I am going to bring all the parts to the guy so he can accurately quote it.
