Default Powder Coating Recommendations Please

I want to powder coat ALL the chrome on my 14' Street Glide. Does anyone have any recommendations/experience for a shop in Arizona to get this done?

Thanks!

If u can or are willing to ship, use Joe, JRK....powder pro guy from the Dyna section. He has done a few job for me and it always turns out flawless. Never an issue of peeling like my boy when he used a local co

no specific suggestions- there are home kits from Eastwood, which can be dandy.

suggest that you have the chrome removed or sandblasted from your parts first to help with adhesion.

powder coat I had done on my FXR involved electro-chemically removing the chrome

I haven't used him but lots of people here recommend powder pro.
Local shops can be hit and miss.

What he said.
They tackle all kinds of stuff (like tank consoles, push button locks, chrome parts) that other powder coat shops won't even touch. I shipped parts to them and have gotten them back within a week. No slower then local shops.
Will do it again if I need to.


Thank you.

I would recommend using a guy who comes strongly recommended and NOT using the guy who gives the lowest price. I used the lower price guy when I had my engine cases, heads and inner primary powedercoated. It's a year later, and all are now stripped and bead blasted clean because it started peeling off in sheets. Looked great for the first few hours.. ...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check out Joe. I'm not sure how feasible it would be to ship all the chrome, as you all know it is quite a bit. Please continue the recommendations.
