Powder Coat Cost

[Badapwned]

I got a guy that said he would PC my A-arms for $10 - $20 an arm. Is this to much?

 

The arms are already sandblasted.

 

Wuch ya think?

Ya, stock arms, just a standard blue color

better ask how the powder will be cured by lights or an oven. an oven will destroy the ball joints.

I just painted the insert of my AC Dirt Screen bumper with Krylon Wrinkle paint. It is tough stuff.

 

A wrinkle or hammer finish paint is going to be about the toughest paint your going to be able to find.

Thats pretty neat! I think it would be a amazing investment for an bike overhaul and save a lot of $ too. The only thing that wouldnt fit in a house oven would be the frame. Also could start a lil business on the side. Im gonna order one I think

Not a bad idea if your going to start a business or do your entire bike. But for a couple A-arms, thats big bucks.

 

Whats this Krylon Hammer finish your talking about?

Its at lowes. Its spray paint and its the cap of the can is like bumpy. Not smooth like normal spray paint.

Ahh well, that sounds a like a good idea....Is the final product smooth though?

 

 

Anyways, after making an executive decision, I decided spray paint is good enough.

 

 

I mean cmon, this thing is by no means a show bike. Hell, its not even a dunes bike, Im going to be hitting trees and everything else in the woods.

 

 

So, I blasted down to white metal, put on three coats of primer and 3,490,834,092 coats of enamel.

 

If it wasn't dripping or near dripping, I decided there wasn't enough paint on them lol.

 

 

All in all, they turned out good, I'm still waiting for them to dry. They are glossy as can be.

 

 

 

One more thing, what is the factory coating on banshee parts?

 

Is it dipped, powder coated????
