Ok you guys set me up with a tire guy, now i need a powdercoater to do some suspension pieces. And recommendations?.. Also where is a good shop to get bushing and bearings pressed? I went to napa and they charged me 40 to push two bearings on, a little high imo. TIA ---

Dimar Manufacturing does powdercoating. Main street out in Clarence. I’m pretty sure they still do it for the public, and they have a great oven set up. Hell, they can do sheet metal laser cutting as well with their brand new $1 million laser cutter 🙂 They work with I.C.E. who designs and makes all of the arcade games… which is attached to their building. (Sorry, used to do their I.T. work. Awesome company, great people, etc.) ---

Hot shots does all of our other powder coating, which is “meh” at best. i agree, same fred that’s missing an appendage correct? friends get a lot of bike stuff done, and it’s absolutely flawless. hot shots does production work haphazardly since it’s all volume and your stuff just gets thrown in the mix. ---
