Help finding powdercoater
Looking for someone to do powder coat in or around NE PA. I've contacted 4 shops in two weeks and have yet to hear back from any of them. If you know of someone please shoot me a PM. I'm trying not to ship it to CA or TX due to shipping.
Thanks,
Shawn

I sent stuff to Joe, at The Powder Pro who is a site sponser here. I was very happy with the quality price and speed at which I got the stuff back. The critical part to me was that when I run bolts up tight to the coated pieces, that the powder was hard enough and adhered well enough that the bolt heads did not twist the powder. I explained to Joe that I had that happen with powder too often. He assured me it would not with his stuff, and it didn't! He will get right back to you in my experience.

good point on the bolts tightening, breaking the powder. one of the reasons I like sumax is where bolts are going to contact sprayed surface they put bolts with washers there so there is no powder behind the color, doesn't crack and you get a proper torque on the bolt, not such a bid deal on frames or sheet metal but on engine cases and heads, its a big deal sumax only does bikes and they know bikes and how they should be powdered. you do pay more, but I thought it was worth every penny

I use Scotty at Race. Fortunately, he is less than a mile from house. I have had guys on the forum here ship parts up to me and I've brought them to him for them.
