FL Panhandle Powder Coating?

Looking at dropping a set of V8 headers there and was wondering if anyone had any feedback after using them?

Seems like most shops want to charge between 250-350 for coating but if I use these guys it'll save me rediculous amounts of money in shipping costs.

Damn, I wish I would've seen this. A friend of mine runs a powder coating biz... pretty big opperation. He usually hooks me up.... like $20 to coat an entire Hinson subframe, tranny mount, and torque arm. I'm getting a local group together to get headers coated with him. I've got 3 sets and 2 other sets from friends going over there soon. You could've sent them and picked them up when you come up this way.

He does a lot of commercial stuff, so I give him my stuff and he throws it in with the next batch he has of the same color. I might have to wait another 2 or 3 days, but no biggie. He's at www.apexpowdercoating.com
