Here is some of my parts slowly being powder
coated. Bell housing, air filter lid and base.
Does any body shop do this or only certain ones, what do they charge?
I powder coated my upper and lower control arms on my 70. Its been 10 years now they still look as good as the day I powder coated them. And I did them myself.
What do you need for equipment to do it yourself?
Be careful when you get anything that's got threaded holes or close fits powder coated. It's a lot thicker than paint and can throw off fits or make it hard as hell to get bolts in.
Actually Bruzilla, when powder coating is done right it's not as thick as paint, is more flexible than paint, lasts longer with increased durability, and comes in thousands of amazing colors nowadays. The shop you choose to do the work is paramount in getting what you want since not all are created equal ... and not all shop owners care as much about results as others.
