Important information on getting your items powder coated
Almost all items will need to be prepared for powder. This is most often done by sandblasting and will be included in the price quoted to you.
Items must be able to withstand the 400 degree curing temperature. Be sure that there are no plastic or other pieces that can be ruined. We do have a vast knowledge of many car/ bike parts but by no means do we know every make, model and type of part and what all of their internal components might be. We cannot be responsible for any parts damaged due to hidden "melty" pieces.
On the same note, items have many areas that should not be painted such as pems, threaded holes, bearings, seals etc. Please know before hand, preferably by marking them, which areas need to be masked to keep them paint free. We cannot be responsible for parts painted because we were not aware of the "danger" areas
Call or e-mail us from our contact page. Jason will be happy to discuss any of your personal project needs!!
Please be aware that while powder coating is extremely durable it is not indestructible and we are not responsible for dings, nicks or scratches due to installation and/or abusive wear and tear during usage once parts have been installed.
We cannot be responsible for burnt or flaking powder coating on installed parts that temperatures exceed the maximum powder coating temperature limit. This is 300 degrees for normal powder and 1000 degrees for high temp.
Cast aluminum and magnesium parts may sometimes experience an out-gassing which causes a bubbling in the finished powder coat. While we take every precaution to avoid out-gassing we can't be held responsible for bubbling caused by poor or porous castings.
Parts cannot contain any Bondo or filler as it will not withstand the curing temperature.
Most items must come disassembled. We do not always have the correct auto shop tools to remove things such as bearings, seals or bushings. This especially applies to snowplows and trailers. Also, many vintage items like bouncy chairs or patio furniture are very rusted and we can't be held responsible for anything broken while we are taking it apart.
Prices quoted over the phone will be close ball park figures. We will ususally need to see the part to get a clearer picture of what it entails. This includes condition and how much masking it might require.
Prices quoted through E-mail and over the phone are not good indefinitely and are subject to change over time.
Think ahead. Remember, a job can only be done as well as the time I'm allowed to spend on it. While we work very hard to get your job done within your time frame we do jobs in the order they were received. Normal turn around is 7-10 working days. During busy periods this time may extend to 15 days. Additional charges may apply for "rush" work.
We cannot be held responsible for finished parts left in our shop past 30 days.
We cannot be responsible for any powder issues not pertaining to workmanship. This includes but is not limited to poor quality of the original material (excessive weld or splatter, grind marks, dings or dents, road rash etc.) This also applies to dissatisfaction with your color or finish choice.
Minimum set up charges apply for color changes. Group all of your same color items together for the best pricing.
