Default Powder Coating? Where?

I know Jesse is out on leave and I was interested to know where else I can get stuff powder coated at? Anybody have any suggestions?

Intake manifold, Cam tower, some parts around the engine.

What do you think is reasonable for powder coating these parts?

Pick up a phone book and see what they charge.

When we had the powdercoating shop, price depended on size, color, prep work required, and complexity. All the materials need to be stripped to bare metal and degreased / outgassed. For the intake manifold & cam tower done in a common color I could put with another load, I'd think $75 - $100 was a reasonable price.

Rock, if you find a place in the area please do share. I'm in Fairfax and I'm thinking about getting my wheels powder coated.

While I have not personally used them (yet), American Stripping in Manassas comes highly recommended. I just spoke with a guy in the racing business who does all custom work and has used them and they do good work for reasonable prices. Hope that helps...as suggested above, give 'em a call - can't hurt.

If your waiting for Jesse get behind me and a few others. We have orders paid in full for months and are patiently waiting his return, his work is real nice and he has a good reputation for his abilities.
