Powder Coating?
Not that important just wanted to know if anyone had an idea off the top of their head how much it would be to powder coat the roof supports and all the parts that make up the front/backseat brackets and rear step. Just spent three days painting/sanding painting/sanding with all this dag on rain/humidity and might have been easier/nicer to do that. Still have two more wheels to polish and clean just a little more under her and she'll be spotless. Will post more pics when I'm done tomorrow.

Re: Powder Coating?

Re: Powder Coating?
All depends on who you use. Of course, I have a guy that powders all my stuff and get a good deal. I really like the newer "wrinkle" finishes they have available now...

Re: Powder Coating?
Eastwood has some powdercoat kits that work real good for smaller parts you can fit in ovens but you can't do something that big unless you have an oven large enough or use heat lamps. I've used their kits and the finish is just as good as a pro if you prep it right. The key to it is prep work, if you can't blast it and get it clean it'll look like crap no matter what. They make heat lamps for larger parts but I'm not to sure how that would work...just doesn't seem to look right to me. You might be able to buy new bars for what it cost to powdercoat them unless you want a color change. Worth a look.

Re: Powder Coating?
I work with an excellent powder coater that gives us a good deal on our golf cart accessories. They have a $100 minimum to use the oven regardless of the part size, so it's always better to do more at one time. Your stuff would need sandblasted too but the powder coating side shouldn't be over $80.

Re: Powder Coating?
OK thanks. Think I'll take the cart by a place around here and show them what I want done and see how much they'll charge. If it's not too much maybe I'll get it done. Humidity kinda kicked my tail with the painting. Sure most people would think it's fine, but when I do something it has to be right. Thanks again
