Let's see, what can I powdercoat today?

~50 sounds like a steal

Depending on how elaborate you want to go, people could charge you hundreds or thousands of dollars. If you setup a paypal shopping cart, it will make checkouts very simple and you don't have to worry about it.

On a side note, are you charging by size, or individual item, or hows that working. Im thinking of some ideas for my Acura

Yeah-that's kinda what I thought. I'm over a barrel on this one-


I really need to see the part before I can give an estimate. It's more of a surface area thing-
You wouldn't believe how many edges are on a hood hinge, for example. When I prep the surface, all areas are cleaned. So something like a brake drum with edge fins will be way more labor intensive than an intake manifold-I have to get 50 bux to do a drum, but for a single plane intake it could be as little as 40. Heck, some WHEELS I could do for 40 bux--
Why would you put more money into a brake drum than an intake? People do.

Shipping is not as bad as you think, try DHL.

 

[Turdle]

I still think 4 rims could be shipped in a 10 dollar trash can-as one package.

DHL will ship plastic containers-

I was wondering were you got that done. It looks so nice. Probably have to send out motor parts to jt when i rebuild the 4.0.

I'll trade the family for money Jon, that's what life is about. Congratulations on that family, take good care of them.

The $50 sounds reasonable if it gets you started on the right path. How much do wheels cost to ship in the wheel boxes?

For me it's wife, cat & myself

Wheels in the box would probably run about $15 ea.

Thanks Dan, that's what I'm figuring.

Oh shoot Mark-
you wanted Burns green with a black web-darnit-

I couldn't do the ring--sorry. There wasn't anywhere to put an edge, and it just kept looking bad to me-

It looks good just as it is.. . Either way is fine (green + black web or black + green web) as I'll leave it up to you since your the artist type person..

I'll PM a fedex # so you can get it to me on my dime..

I think I found some other things to powdercoat.. a skidplate (I want to fill in some gaps first), and I have my old motor sitting here.. I can get some brackets done and put them on my Lego looking motor..

Is it possible to powdercoat those newer intakes? The intake on our sohc v6 mustang is plastic.
