Hey, I should've posted something earlier about by friends new powder coating business. He would have charged only $40 to do that and about $60 if you wanted parts polished. It would only take about 1 day for him to get it completed.

Here's a link to my parts he did starting out:
My Miata valve cover

Here's a nice Mustang valve cover he did in 3 colours:
Mustange valve cover

I don't have a pic at the moment but you should see the job he did on my friend's Viper intake/valve covers! Awesome red with crinkle finnish like the MS Miata and silver intake runners.

Here's his number and website if you need any powder coating done. He also does ceremic coatings as well.

Chris,


Where is he located? I'm interested in getting some things polished.

He is located in Mesquite off Oates and Ferguson. He has a shop built out of his home right now but don't be fooled, he has a nice set up with new equipment and does an awesome job and his prices are hard to beat.

Hey, getting stuff chromed is very expensive. My father just had the bumpers on his 71 Camaro re-chromed and I nearly crapped myself when I saw the bill!

As you can see I'm promoting my friend's new powder coating business :wink: so.....
He can do a powder coat job that looks just like chrome but for a 1/10th of the price of actually having it chromed.

any idea what he charges to strip and polish wheels? they have powdercoat on them now.

My XJ needs paint, and this may be better than paint for something frequently makes its own trails.

My old Jeep mechanic had his 4x4 jacked up off-road Cherokee painted with Rhino Lining... Looked great and worked great. You could smack a fender and unless you nailed it with a baseball bat it would bounce right back out. :eye:

No scratches at all when running through the brush!

I can't quote prices off the top of my head, but I can almost guaranty that he will have the best price. On the other hand, if they are already powdercoated, it may be a bit extra to strip them since powdercoating is very durable. Still will have the best deal around though. Just give him a call.

So did you take the baffles on the underside of the valvecover off or did they ?

Hmmm...my race wheels are white which dosent go with my car at all, ive been thinking of either getting the spokes powder coated & polishing the lip, or polishing the whole thing. They seem to be regularly painted since the paint is chipping on some of them. I might be interested on what he could do for me on that...

Polishing an entire wheel is a helluva lot of work.....not sure if he does that.
But as for any other combo of powdercoating & polishing, he's done some crazy looking stuff for people! You should see some of the sportbike wheels/parts he's done. :shock:

Yea I can see that being tough, maybee grayish silver spokes / polished lip?? Or gunmetal...

Slightly off-topic...

Hey majik, I forgot to get that cam cover from you yesterday before you left. Let me know what the next event you'll be at is, and I'll pick it up from you there, if you're still willing to loan me one.

Thanks! :mrgreen:
