Powder coater

Just got my frame and tin back from the powder coater. Wow, it looks fantastic. Great price too. He is in the SF Bay Area. I can post his info if anyone is interested.

Did you have everything done, including the rims and wheel sheave?  Can I ask what you paid on the left coast?  Here in NY I paid $650 for everything, including the frame, rims, sheave, seat pan and all the small parts.  I'd bet the guys in the south and Midwest can get a much better deal then we can in the high cost of living areas!

I did the frame, forks, muffler, seat pan, sheave and pretty much all the other black parts, the fenders, tank and headlight in red. for $275 + the cost of the red powder ( I had spec'd a special color). He has been in the trade for ten years and has just opened his own shop and I know he gave me a good price because he is a new business but we discussed prices and he is much less than others in the area.
