Hello… as many are already aware I’m offering Powder Coating and very reasonable cost. Many people have asked for a sample or a picture of a valve cover etc all finished so here are a bunch of pictures… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/Rim3.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/Rim3.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/Rim.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/Rim.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/IM001411.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/IM001411.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/IM001422.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/IM001422.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/StardustBlue.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/StardustBlue.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/IM001406.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/IM001406.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/IM001421.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/Jedi_Car_Fan/IM001421.jpg) I’m finally over the flu and back at work but extremely busy due to the time I did miss. I will have more pictures posted throughout this week as the items get coat as well as some finished product of other items I’m working on. If you have any questions feel free to post or e-mail me at fancypantspowder@yahoo.ca Thanks Jeff ---

You seem to do some great work, looks good from here, Dont know about your pricing, do you have fixed pricing categorized? rims, valve cover, etc… or because each rim is different so is the price? ---

can you give us approx. pricing on a few popular things like rims and valve covers and various engine parts perhaps. also, is it only powder coating or can you do things like ceramic coating aswell? ---

^^ its powder coating, no paint involved im pretty sure. And his prices are very good. Im not going to mention any prices, ill let him do that, but I have gotten quotes from him that are unbeatable by any other company I’ve gotten in touch with. He’s a stand up guy too, no fuckin around with him. ---

Prices are as follows… Steel Rims = $40ea Aluminum rims = $50ea Valve Cover = $50ea There is no difference in price if the rims are diff type/style… just material type etc… “i’m staying away from polished lips for a few weeks but will be able to do them” Prices are for Powder and Sand blasting… if you can get items blasted yourself then the price will be even cheaper but it has to be blasted really well and have ever bit of stuff removed. Pricing is also on colours/powder which is in stock… If I need to order it then it could be an extra $50-$100. also if an item is required to be clear coated that is an extra $10-$25 depending on item size Thanks Jeff ---

> [@Gonad](#): > > Maybe it’s me but I’m seeing a lot of orange peel effect on the paint. > > Wet sand it perhaps as the final step? :dunno: Some of what you are seeing is from the light/camera… Alot of people do not want to pay a prep fee so they do it themselves… I only charge $30 to coat a cover and $20 for prep… If you do a shitty prep job say it may not be as nice as it could be. but for only $30 its pretty friggin good. We have a blasting cabnit which we use with many different types of sand to ensure a smooth surface so for $20… its a good idea. ---

Hey, I’m interested in sand blasting the entire engine bay on a S13, and maybe powder coating it. I want to clean it up real nice for the SR, and the KA and everything will all be out of there when I bring it to you. I definitely want it sandblasted, but I’m not sure if powdercoating is the best choice for the bay, I want to ask around first. Looks is the lowest on my list of priorities, but rust protection is extremely important. I’ve heard that sandblasting is THE way to go for that, but I’m not sure if I should paint it myself with the rubberized rust-proofing paint or do something else. ---

Solarian, you’d have to cut your car from the firewall forward, put it in an oven, and then re-attach it. Alternatively you could bake your entire car. In other words, you don’t powdercoat an engine bay. :? ---

I cannot sand blast your engine bay… I could recommend you to someone thou who may be able to do it… You will not be able to Powder Coat the engine bay because with Powder Coating it is required to be baked in an oven at 400+ Degree’s… which means your Car would need to fit into an oven etc and not have anything on/in it which would burn/melt. ---

> [@dip](#): > > turn around time on a valve cover? Turn around time is a max of 1 week… 7 days. Items can be ready as quickly as 1-3 days thou. Reason I give 1 week time is because the rims we cannot blast ourselves etc… so they are sent out. Most other smaller items I can do myself. If the items already have Powder on them, it is a pain to remove… “you need alot of power” so things coated are also sent out to get blasted. ---
