Powder Coat Rookie
I am trying to finalize my first round of winter mods on my 2002 Super Glide (will post a final list once it is all said and done) and have a few chrome parts that were removed in the process. I would like to have them powder coated gloss black, but I am not real sure what a good deal would be. I took the parts listed below to a local shop and was quoted $300. With my lack of knowledge on the subject I thought it was a little pricey and walked away from it. Would anyone want to take a second and let me know if I made the right call or should I go back and hope he quotes the same price?

Don't know if you have the space or not but you may consider the DIY route. Several companies make the kits and even youtube has a video on how to build a powder coating system. It seeems most guys use a retired household oven which is big enough to hold a V8 valve cover. Here is one site that will get you started on the research . http://www.harborfreight.com/10-30-p...tem-94244.html

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I will definitely shop around.

I agree and I am sure it won't take long before he chimes in on this.
