Default Powder Coating Group Buy *FEELER*

I'm trying to become a rennlist sponsor. I have been trying to think of a way to "JUMP IN" off when it happens. I thought a group buy might get everyone interested. I don't have an official pricing yet. but I am thinking of offering powder coated parts (intake manifolds, cam towers, cam covers, and possibly fuel rails) for cheap. Like i said pricing isn't a definite yet, but it would more than likely be close to half the price of my current pricing.

Of course this would only work if their were MANY people in on the GB. The GB would work separate for each part. I'm trying to plan to get everything ready, have the GB end in time for me to receive all the parts and be able to send them back before X-MAS.

please give me your thoughts, comments and suggestions.

I would be interested, but sending you the parts off my daily driver would be a hard thing to do.

If I happen to come across some cheap parts at the junkyard or something I will keep my eye on this thread. I saw some of your previous posts with the parts you had coated, they looked great and reasonably priced.

Hmmmm....getting my hammered 15" fuchs powder coated back to black and having the calipers in red would be nice. I'm seriously considering spraying this car Guards Red soon.

OK, i have received a few PM's. I'll answer the questions here, so others who are interested will have the info.

Headers can be done. However, I can offer ceramic coating as long as enough people are interested.

What about Anodizing? can you strip my forged Turbo S clubsports, and re-anodize them?

Well, I may find a cam tower somewhere to send you... can you powdercoat silver rose? (I know, it all depends on if they have it in powder...)

for the GB, I will stick to colors I have in stock. custom colors are EXPENSIVE. If I say yes on custom colors we would have no GB.

BTW, regular colors I have are: silver/chrome, black, red, yellow, white, blue.

**however, if you were to find multiple people to go in on a certain custom color, then it could possibly work, depending on the number of people of course.
