Hello everyone! Glad to finally jump on board to be partners with NYSpeed & PittSpeed. Most of you are now probably thinking well who the hell are you, so I would like to introduce myself. I’m Justin from Saint Mary’s, PA and run Detective Coating aka Justin’s Powdercoating. Started out a little over 3 years ago doing my own parts and quickly took over the powdercoating industry in the DSM scene. I also work as the head powdercoater at another local company where we do industrial powdercoatings for local businesses. What sets me apart from any other coater is that I treat each part as my own, I’m very picky with the finished product and will redo parts until I am 100% satisfied with them. I’m willing to meet people within a 3 hour round trip for me to save on shipping costs also if you have a batch of parts or something heavy. Here is a link to my website which is outdated and I am currently working on updating with a whole new format, also a link to my facebook page: [www.detectivecoating.com](http://www.detectivecoating.com) [www.facebook.com/justinspowdercoating](http://www.facebook.com/justinspowdercoating) Services I offer: -Mediablasting (Glass beads, Aluminum Oxide, etc) -Chemical Stripping -Small metal refinishing/custom detailing -DSM Throttle body rebuilds -Full service powdercoating I am able to comfortably fit pieces 50" long. 25" width, 25" height so most automotive pieces are able to fit without a problem. I also have over 100 colors in stock at a time and have access to over 7,000 colors. To view the colors available you can follow the links below: [http://www.powderbuythepound.com/Powder\_coating\_colors/](http://www.powderbuythepound.com/Powder_coating_colors/) For this next link you will have to go to “Color Charts” on the left and then “View by color” [http://www.nicindustries.com/prismatic\_powders.php](http://www.nicindustries.com/prismatic_powders.php) Here is a slideshow I made quickly to show some of what I have done over the past year: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9crHKiH3Xs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9crHKiH3Xs) Also, here are some additional pictures of parts that I have coated after I made the video:

Lol well I could do most of it, just not the whole thing. I think I’ve had every request from an entire car to a 4000sqft house lol. It was all in humorous compliments and was definitely appreciated hearing things like that. ---

I can definitely do it, the additive is quite expensive and there are only a few colors to choose from with it. If you want I can PM you the info on it. ---

You got enough room for a bike frame? I’m really thinking of doing a translucent candy red, But I need to get the frame figured out first if that’s the problem. ---

What kind of bike frame? Sportbike, bmx, etc. If you can get some rough estimates of it I can let you know if it will fit fine. Roughly my oven is 50"x26"X24" so I should be able to fit most frames.
