Looking for Powder Coating (local to me)
SirPeale:
I live in Southern Vermont. I'm looking for a decent powder coating facility that doesn't charge the world for service.
I'm not saying I'm a cheap bastard, but I've got a few 'quotes' from people locally (within 20 miles and I'm willing to drive at least 50-75 one way) and their rates seem to be a bit high based on what I've read on RGVAC.

If you read RGVAC, you're familiar with Kevin from K & S amusements, right? He's located in northern CT and does powder coating... He'll do it via mail as well, and i'm pretty sure his prices aren't *too* bad (unless they've changed)...
What are you looking to powder coat? I just noticed that there was a place that does powder coating right up the road from me (windham, CT) but I don't need anything powder coated ATM)
good luck (did you check yellow pages?)

Yep, I know Kev. Nice guy. Nice stuff, but I was looking for someone closer. Keep your options open, don't you know.

I've got a few coin doors that really need some refinishing.

Indeed! Nothing to find in Brattleboro.

Minimum shop billing at $60, and they didn't appear too local.

I've seen this before. I called a couple places listed in there before going to http://www.yellowpages.com, to no avail.
A lot of the places I called had little idea what I was talking about when I mentioned coin doors. Others had huge per hour labor charges (which, if I had more stuff would probably be worth it, but not for what I've got)
One place figured about $8 a door, which is akin to some prices I've seen in RGVAC. But without references...I just don't know. I want it done right, and done right the first time, but I don't have a million dollars to spend.

oh... I got nothing then, Peale...
Sanding and spray painting works out OK in a pinch... you could even go nutz and get that BBQ grill high temperature stuff that you cure in your oven. for an extra durable finish... (although not sure how you'd get the "wrinkle" if that's what you are going for...)
