theres a place here in south san francisco that just powder coated a bunch of stuff for my friends wrx. west coast powdercoating. PM if you want me to get more info.

 

san diego powder coating

go to www.superpages.com

seach sandblasting and powdercoating in your zip.

 

MOst of the folks here who offroad have powdercoated bumpers and sliders. I recommend it to help with the elements. It will come off if you're grinding up against rocks but other than that it's worth it for the look and protection.

EDIT:

I prefer the wrinkle finish powder coating.

 

Hey cool, yea iv been considering it for a while now, iv just been concerned with how long it will take for them to do it, plus how much $ it costs...if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost for you to get your bumper coated??

The time issue is dependant on where you take it really. Some shops might be able to turn it around in a couple days others that are busy might be a week.

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.

 

Hmm, I was expecting it to be alot more money for some reason. I appreciate all of your guys responses, this information has helped alot.
* 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...
