so i took a huge load of parts down to the powder coating shop a few days ago so i can get my pump installed and ready the hull for the motor that should be done soon....i know i know...im lagging a little bit.
i dropped off...
the motor mounts, pump, place diverter, a bunch of little odd ball stuff, both fuel tanks, transome cover and im sure a few things i am forgetting to mention. half the stuff needed to be stripped or blasted...total bill was 200$ for mat black then a 90% high gloss clear.
my trailer is going to be done later this year...600 bucks and they are going to sand blast the entire thing and powdercoat the entire thing white to match my boat.
if any of you guys are interested in getting some stuff done let me know and i can arrange to help.
ill post pix when its all done.

Sounds like a sweet deal. I have a buddy who powdercoats for pretty cheap as well. Quoted me the same price to powdercoat my trailer gloss black. Post some pics when you get everything back!

In case it isn't common knowledge, the color choice is normally the cost determining factor, I had some stuff done in Prizm Silver, which is silver with rainbow colored flake in it, the powder itself cost over ten times than the black, it was bitchen though (it's on my freinds quarter midget frame). We have an oven and the gear here, it's cheap to do as a DIY if you have the tools, mine is small so big stuff like trailers have to be done down town at the shop, it should cost about half what it would cost to paint it...
