Powder coating

« on: March 28, 2002, 11:16:59 PM »
I seem to remember a few months ago John Moore evangelizing to us about something he got powder coated. He seemed to purchase the service at a really great value, and as such he passed out little cards with the man's name and number printed on them. I was wondering, if anyone happened to retain that card, and if so could they please pass that information on to me. Alternatively, if you know of a place that will powder coat some crap relatively reasonably, then please clue me in on that too. A friend of mine wants some crap powder coated.

You seem.....ummm......less than enthusiastic about the powder coating  :turn:

Eastwoods sells a kit, for like $150 you can buy it and powdercoat anything (that will fit in the stove) you want + maybe make some money by doing other peoples stuff at a reduced rate

Speaking of John Moore, has anyone heard from him or his wife lately?  I was just wondering the other day where they have been.  :questions:

The only downside to the Eastwood kit is you need an oven to use only with the kit.  You aren't supposed to cook food in the oven after you've used it for powdercoating.  But, you could probably pick up a used range at a yard sale or flea market for $50 that would work good enough for the powder coating.  So if you needed over $200 worth of coating done, it would pay you to get the kit, buy an old stove and do it yourself.

And on powder coating crap . . . Russ, you need to tell your friend that unless he/she has been taking LOTS of minerals, powder  coating won't work on crap.  :oyvey:  It has to be metal for the powder to stick to it . . . and besides, I don't think crap could stand up to the heat . . . not to metion what it might smell like.  The best thing to do is let it dry out then seal it with polyurethane or something like that.  LOL   :monkeyshakin:

No, really, I remember John handing out the cards, but I can't find the one he gave me.  I would also like to know where this place is if anyone knows.  I've got some crap . . . uhmm, I mean stuff . . . that I would like to get powder coated also.  I don't think it will cost anywhere near $200 for what I want done, so I don't think this is something I want to try to do myself.  And if I ever get around to getting my IRS chassis for my Manx shortened, I want to have it powder coated too . . . and I know I can't fit it in an oven.    :coolgleam:

Thanks letsbuggy.  I was thinking the place John told us about was in Flintstone, but couldn't remember for sure.
