Local powder coat?

[Hilton]

Starting to tear into my Baywatch and the wireforms are currently pretty ugly. Thinking of getting them powdercoated.

Anyone have a local shop they would recommend? or have experience with?

thanks Tim



Anyone done any local powder with a company? I see a few in the madison area that all seem to have flashy websites but that only means so much

If you end up deciding on a color that is something we regularly run at work (black and white are most common, but we've been known to do green, red, purple, and others), I can always just go downstairs and hang it on the paint line while it's going.

thanks. i ended up going with a blue powder from all color in oregon wi.

Looks nice to me. Hope to have the game back together soon and then put it out for others to play.

Cost?

Cost?

$263 with tax. They sandblasted and prepped to bare metal plus powder. I only did wireforms but cost would have been the same with legs, rails, and door they said. It may have cost a little more as prep would have taken them slightly more.

It was $50 for prep and $200 per color. I only did a single color.

They mainly do commercial stuff and patio furniture. They have a HUGE facility and I was likely the smallest order they will have all year

Looks like really good coverage and came out very nice from my POV.
Best part was they quoted 2-3 weeks and were done in 3 days.

I did get a quote of $125 from a smaller guy in sun prairie area but he was a much smaller outfit and was not real clear on his prep process so I did not go with him.

Ouch kind of spendy, but if they have good results that is all that matters.

I have to redo the wireforms on my IJ at some point, and my buddy has a blast cabinet, so I am good there for the prep, I am going to check out the place he uses in Elkhorn for all of his arcade powder. Some of the stuff I have seen him have powdered looks amazing.

I was happy with the price. I figured I saved on shipping both ways and it appears to be a quality job.
Makes sense that even just setting up and blasting a color has a minimum cost.
