Great deal. I checked them out. Nothing that I could find. Looking for my son's 08 1200c.

As with most "services" pricing varies by location. I would check with your local dealer and as many indy shops as possible to see who they use for powder coating. Not all shops are created equal so do your homework before leaving your parts. You may find the shop that will give you the best finish is out of town, but if that's the case a few shipping dollars beats getting a poor quality job done locally!
