Some stuff done for me at a hugely reasonable cost...

Thermostat neck...FB




AC bracket, FB GSL...










On the above items, I did no metal prep or cleaning whatsoever...the pieces were for the daily driver, Furious...


.

 

Some more...


GM 4-wheel disc brake Master Cylinder, circa 2000, for the Z06 conversion








Upper Control Arms, 1968 GM F-Body...







He's out of business, BPC....Brian's Powder Coating.....October 2011

He still currently holds a day job as FedEx driver but sold all of his equipment to some guy on Pleasant Ridge Road that just uses the oven to do bike frames now...darn shame.

 

Bump...got the lower control arms back from Bryon and now they go to Brian for some more of that metallic grey powder! The mods done to reinforce the arms for severe track dut were over the top and a ton cheaper than tubular arms.

 

www.custompowdercoating.com in Dallas ,TX. Take care, hope you have a safe return.

 

powdercoat, powder-coat, powder coat ...bump to get x-ref words in body of thread...

 

how much did all that run u?

 

Does he clean up the parts (ie with a media blaster)?

How much does he charge for rims?

 

The thermo neck was done first, then the bracket, then the A-arms and the master cylinder was last...all separate jobs. Prices were LOW, but I really have to leave it to Brian to quote you guys...I will say that the thermo neck was a same day emergency job with my car disassembled. Brian coated that part while I went to a movie and I picked it up to finish the job that same afternoon...I seem to remember it costing me all of $15, but we also 'connected' because he's a FedEx driver and I used to drive for the Evil Empire, UPS...

Brian has a parts blasting cabinet in his garage and various media he uses depending on the job....the last time I talked to him, he only did steel rims. I've got a lot more stuff for him this week and I'll see if he's ready to tackle my $350 18" Enkei NTO3+M rims.

 

I need a couple things powder coated....

Who is doing this now?

Bob

 

I know they do - http://www.lonestarperformance.com/s...tomer/home.php

 

crosslink powder coating, they have facilities in mckinney and dallas, they do damn good work. I got wheels sand blasted and coated all in house for 140. They are great! Ill post pics of the results if you wanna see em.

 

YES please post some pics! Do you have before and after pics? I need to get my wheels cleaned up. They were sitting in Houston for years and the metal is oxidizing...would love to have some shiny looking rims now!

 

4 wheels for $140?

 

i was going to try these guys....

yeah 4 wheels sand blasted and powdercoated with a metalic powder for 140...thats good pricing...imo

 

What you getting powdercoated, Bob?

 

hahaha...nothing exotic. Just an oil pan brace and ETB...don't want it to rust.

 

Here's a shot of one of my upper control arms for the Pontiac.

 

hey Mar...I sent him an email and haven't gotten a reply. Is he still around?

 

Sorry I never replied. No, Brian isn't. I just had some stuff done by Joe over at Top Koat in Kennedale, TX, and discovered this thread all over again. I had to delete out a bunch of detail on BPC since he's out of the biz. Top Koat is a Mon thru Saturday business, so it worked for me since I'm a Mon thru Fri mgr. I drop off and pick up on Saturday's. I had a bunch of stuff done by Joe two weeks ago and he got it all turned around in a week. He cleans and sandblasts the pieces prior to the powder coat.

Here's the calipers for the Z-06 front brake conversion for CBird...yea, I'm still plugging along on that poor beast.




...and here's a Christmas Tree stand in Tiger Drylac Bengal Red. Completely restored this ancient stand we got from my wife's parents.




Prices have gone up a bit since I first started wanting this coating but Joe is still pretty reasonable and his color cards and selection are massive. He's also got a lot of parts done simply as samples so you can see and touch...plus he does wheels, steel or aluminum.

 

break calipers look good. how much did they charge for the calipers?
i might want to do all 4 on my car.
i saw them about a yr ago at a car show. they do a lot of motorcycle stuf.

 

I'll dig the receipt out and post tomorrow night...it's kept downstairs and I ain't about to make a ruckus and wake the wiffey.
