Here is the low down on PowderCoating prices. There are many options as there are with anything custom. Some powders are single shot, two coats, or even tri coats to get the color or effect you are after. Flakes and pearls can be added to the clears for added effect too. Colors can be mixed for custom blends. Basically the sky is the limit on what you can do with powder. If it’s not listed, just ask and I will let you know if it can be done, and if I can pull it off.

Additional charges apply for:
-parts that require disassembly to get ready for blasting
-complex shapes and designs. Lots of machined surfaces that need to be masked, tight corners or spokes, etc. Powder isn’t like paint, it is statically charged to the part, and it likes to repel from inside corners and sharp edges.
-greasy and grimy parts. They need to be cleaned prior to sandblasting.
-Tires and TPS sensors still on wheels. $30 fee to dismount tires since I have to bring them somewhere to do them.
-Cast parts, like USED intake manifolds, brake calipers, etc must be put in the oven for an “out gassing” cycle (baked at a higher than cure temp) prior to coating to release the oils stuck in the pores that could be released into the powder cure if they weren’t outgassed.
-Already powder coated parts, instead of raw or painted. Powder is MUCH harder to blast/strip. Time = $
Most work is done with a 2-3 week turnarond time. May take longer if the parts are large and need to be outsourced for stripping/blasting.

Pick a color and PM me your idea. I will tell you if it’s a single, two or 3 coat process and adjust the est based on that. Dormant colors for example, say something like “clear coat is needed for desired results” so that is a 2 coat. Kandy colors are a 2 coat; chrome base coat and the kandy over that. Then those can be cleared with a satin clear for a cool anodized look, or flakes mixed in, kandy over dormant for odd colors, again sky is the limit.
Price list.
Prices are “starting at” estimates that can and will change if the part is out of the ordinary when they arrive. Price includes sandblasting CLEAN parts. Anything not mentioned on the list, just ask, it probably can be coated. Small parts; brackets, nuts & bolts, plates, etc there is a $20 minimum on a pile of those parts. Anything not listed will be bid on based off surface area, part complexity and prep time needed. Max item size is around 72" long. Oven is 4’W X 4’D X 6’H
WHEELS:
****Some factory wheels and aftermarket wheels are ALREADY powdercoated. Additional charges will apply for blasting the original coating off. The sandblasting is outsourced on wheels, what ever they charge me, is what I charge you. The base price listed bellow is for blasting up to a max of $40 a wheel. Some wheels like BBS for example can be +$20 a wheel to blast, bringing the single solid color price to $105 a wheel for example. ******

BRAKE CALIPERS: Note* Price does not include rebuilding, but will include disassembly if requested (as in you would be putting them backtogether). They CAN be cleaned and baked at cure temp seals/dust boots in without an issue from what I have seen. Generally if the calipers are in good working order, they will take the 350-400 deg cure temps just fine.
I will rebuild them for a $20 a caliper for most OEM calipers with Customer supplied seal and dust boot kit. Waiver is signed after the fact, because I will not be responsible for your installation errors. They will be pressure tested with 160psi on the bench to insure a proper seal and installation.

HIGH TEMP CERAMIC COATING
Ceramic withstands 1600 deg.
CeramaKrome is cured to a dull color. It must be hand or machine polished (like you would say bare aluminum or ss) to look “chrome”, and I am not polishing it that’s up to you.
Long tube V8 headers:
Ceramic - $225 to coat new headers. Some fees can apply for blasting used parts.
Shorty V8 headers:
Ceramic - $185 to coat new headers. Some fees can apply for blasting used parts.

Anything can be coated with that stuff, so just ask. As I figure prices for those inquiries I will add them to the list.
