Powder Coaters

[mrfirepro 127 1 Cars]

Just been along to my nearest powder coaters and their price to powder coat a rocker cover was £50 (didn't even bother asking about the rest until I've checked on here). I declined, as this seemed excessive.

 

Is this excessive or the going rate?

 

If it's excessive does anyone have some reasonably priced powder coaters. Don't want the job for nothing, but want a good job for a reasonable price.

 

(BTW - I had prepped the rocker cover)

 

Need about 10 items doing

I was quoted 50 for a gti6 inlet and both rockers

Yep they'll do it.

Mates have used them a few times.

 

Years back I used a company in Uckfield. I used to meet the owner at his house and drop the bits off and get it done for pennies.

I've always found, the more axle bits I take to my local powdercoaters, the cheaper and quicker he'll get everything done

So instead of offering some advice on how much this should actually cost coming from someone with direct industry experience you just gloat about getting free stuff instead!?
