Default Powder Coating

Anyone have an idea what it might cost to get a set of forks powder coated? I want to do either just the bottoms, or the entire fork, and maybe thetrees too.

should be less than $100 for everything depending on how much surface prep is required....and you can pretty much only do the fork lowers and trees.....powder would make the tubes too thick for the seals in the lowers....

That's not bad at all..

Now I have to find a local place to do it. I just put the progressive loweing springs in and dismantleing the forks was not that difficult.

Thanks

Probabaly $100, for the forks, and $100, for the triple trees. And thats if you completely disassemblethe forks, they have to be bare metal to be powder coated since they have to bake in the oven at 350 degrees.
