Title: What does powder coating cost?
Post by: Hoagie_one on February 02, 2005, 04:42:18 pm

I'm working on a metal CP with interchangable panals and I want to get every peice powder coated.  Any idea what I'll pay for such a service?

There is usually a minimum fee. I got 4 CP's powder coated recently, I had to wait a couple of days for the right colour run and it cost the minimum fee of $40NZ that's about $28US for all 4, pretty cheap really.

Yes, the key is to find a powder coater that will "throw it in" with a run they are doing.  This isn't too hard if you want black, they tend to do a lot of black.  I got some cocktail panels done for about $5 each.  Super durable finish.
