I work with a guy who had a motorcycle frame powder coated, cost him $60, don't know who did it though. There's a shop in town that powder coats, however, they coat their brackets for gas line and meter mounting. Only do gray, I believe. You'd best check if powder coating will cause problems reassembling you machine, since the process will add thickness to your parts. Hope this helps some!

keep on ridin', Jim V

I wish I could remember, but someone sells a do it yourself powdercoat kit. I think it may have been Shadetree. Anyway you get the kit and paint the stuff on and bake it in your oven in your kitchen.
Smaller parts anyway.

The Eastwood Company (www.Eastwoodco.com) has a Hotcoat powder coating system. I know folks that have had good & bad results from them. You are limited to the size of oven available. They do have a great site, with great products.

I live close to Columbus. I had my DG bumper powder coated at COLUMBUS CUSTOM POWDER COATING. It cost me about $75 to have it done. I am very happy with the end results. He can do just about any color. I know it's along way for either of you to drive but if you are interested the phone and address is.
