Shot blasting / powder coat quote price and a better recommendation

[channel27]

Very nice looking.

Did they chemical remove the old paint and rust beforehand or just shot blast the whole thing?

That's a fair amount of parts for £350.

Shot blasted the whole thing I believe.

Yes, a great deal for £350. And the place is only 10 mins from my house. It's amazing the small businesses you find tucked away down little roads off the A2

Yes, forget Google. Your best bet is to go kerb crawling round the industrial estates.

I went to pick up my powder coating yesterday, and told them to do it again. It's like they just showed the metal the powder coating. Powder coating supposed to be a tough thick coating, not a micro thin dust over.

Quality has defo gone down hill. Nobody has any pride in their work anymore. The least effort for the most money is the new norm. Going to just do all my own metalwork from now on.

I paid £300 to have a Nintendo cocktail tub shot blasted and powder coated. It looks good too. I was told it would cost more if I did it again. Guy under-estimated the work involved.

Likley story —- that story is Gas lighting!

Bane of my life whilst painting my Crazy Taxi.

Hence the powder coat on this machine!
