PC'ed swinger ?'s

[RoostRocket]

ok so i called my powdercoater about powdercoating a +2 roundhouse swingarm and they said it would be about 90 to 135 bucks. is that fair? oh and it is just gonna be gloss black so nothing special.

[chevy7398]

it depends on how much prep work they need to do, once its preped it will take them about 5 min and about 5 bucks worth of powder and then stick it in the oven, hell if you lived close enough you could come over and id do it all for ya for 20 or so depending on what all needed cleaned up ( needs to be bare and clean as a bone inside and out) but you dont live close enough, call around i bet you can geta lot better deal than that

90 sounds fair, 135 is a bit high, for jsut gloss black...

 

As far as the 5 bucks of powder and five minutes of work........ Not true........... But clean yes, it needs to be that..

[chevy7398]

8 oz of gloss black is like 12 bucks or so, does it take 8 oz to do a swingarm, no, so about 5 bucks worth of powder, once its clean how long does it take take to shoot it, ok ya more than 5 min, maybe 10, if you include the time to stick it in the oven. either way the most time consuming part is the prep work

[kaotik1]

No denying that prep is 90% of the work, I do coatings as a job.. Powders vary by quality! You get what you pay for.. That said I am done here not cluttering this guys post about how much. If you wish to continue you can pm me..

i was charged $80 to sandblast and pc mine gloss black ...... beach cities powdercoating in gardena C.A.

I think I paid around 70-100 for mine. Kaotik is right too, it's a little more then $5 worth of powder, plus you gotta figure you need an oven, and a gun, which arent free.

sounds about right. 135 with clear is fair.

[chevy7398]

my bad 8oz of gloss black is 8.99, so even if you put a HALF POUND of powder on your swingarm its still only 9 bucks worth of powder. plus business buy in bulk and the larger quanity you buy the better deal you get, if you buy 50lbs of black it might only break down to 2 or 3 bucks for 8oz.

It cost me $55 to get my +4 swinger sandblasted, and PC'ed in Silvervein. It sounds like they are charging a little too much.
