Anyone know who does this? I just got dave briggs’ subframe and it’s a bit scraped from rocks i guess or what have you that one of the braces has lost its paint. Don’t want to have this rust on me so I am wondering who does it locally and how much would it cost? How long is the wait time etc… ---

powder coating via those guys mentioned is the best option. Get it done once, and it won’t need to be done again. Powder coating is tough! ---

I got it done and I gotta say brithside coating did an amazing job. Charged me 140$, blasted, heavily zinc coated against rust and shinier thicker powder coat than anything from the factory 🙂 Looks better than coming out of factory lol. Two thumbs up for these guys. Only pain in the ass was driving all the way the whitby… ---

Nice stuff… I wish I had asked around here about powdercoating when I did my R32 calipers last year. They looked amazing when I got em done but after about 8-9 months, the coating is heavily cracked (dirt/grease brings out the cracks) and chipping in chunks in some areas. Never go to Midwest calipers for powdercoating… ---
