Did a search here and found this place. Called and talked to Fred I think and he seemed real nice

Has anyone gone to get stuff done from him? Prices seemed good. Wondering how quality is.

I used Aurora Powdercoating in East Aurora, right off the 400 (Maple Road Exit).

Don and Moe are nice guys (father and son team) and only charged me $60 to clean, bead-blast, prep, and powdercoat 2 BMW magnesium valve covers…

the various imperfections are due to the actual magnesium material of the VC being chipped/eroded/pitted away

If you go through Jesse w/blastoff you’ll be okay, but off the street there’s a whole lot of hurt feelings you’ll hear from a lot of people. They’re the reason I started coating, and built a 6’ tall oven.

I know he does something to accommodate customers from NY, but I forgot exactly what he was doing.

Give Aurora Powdercoating a call, while talking with them at the shop they showed me some of the projects they have going on. Big industrial frames for Moog, and they also do a lot of farm equipment and machinery. I’m sure they can help you out.

Rather bump an older thread than make a new one. So anyone know if Fred is still powdercoating. Left one message and haven’t got a response, going to try calling again tomorrow I guess.
