I just got my front bumper done and it cost me $75 bucks to do, however Demello took care of all that for me since he built the bumper. Not sure if there was a mark-up for him having to get it down there and get it back, etc.

* Does anybody know any other places around Marin County to get powdercoating done, besides West Coast Powdercoats?
* I want to know if there are any negatives to powdercoating....
* What else do people get powdercoated on their rigs.. i dont want it to be some hokey show rig, but i want it to look at good as it performs..you kno?
Thanks for the reply's... Would love to see more pictures...
