Bang em till it breaks
What he quoted and what he had on the bill. It's the 6th one he has done for me and my old man plus dozens of small parts. It's a big facility that's all they do. Turn around is a week to 2 weeks. Plus the frames are texas frames so they are extremely nice to start with
Just sent a big box to Leanna, 2 sets of valve covers, Air cleaner lid and a couple of big brackets. Shipped pirate ship for $31 from detriot. Worth it to have an experienced professional who supports our hobby take care of my stuff.
NICE! Glad Leanna is getting some business as she can certainly use it right now!
Now try shipping that same stuff out of Canada and then try to get it back in past customs. Never fun...

Im building something like a headache rack for my truck
It basically comes down to 5 feet of 2x2 angle iron and 6 feet of 1x1 square tubing
I'm hoping to cash in a favor and have it powdercoated for free

Bulky coat?
I’m starting to get things coated with Cerakote and haven’t had anything done in powder for about two years now. It’s lighter, goes on thinner, and can be used on headers. They make a piston coat as well.
I’m tiring of paying for it though so I recently purchased an air compressor and slowly moving toward that goal.

I am definitely going to try some of this primer.
Have you ever tried placing the parts in the sun? I wonder if some heat would accelerate that process.

So would you have to pay customs on what you paid for the powder coating only? It would make NO sense to charge based on the value of the parts.
Similar story...sent 2 sets of rally circuit boards out to get redone. Received them back in great shape! Economical price until Canada Customs dinged me for the value of entire parts, NOT just the repair work. I challenged it and got denied. Repair work was $50?? I think, total value of boards...$200 I think.
C**ksuckers...
I agree with DB, I would love to ship my stuff down to Leanna, she could use the work and her work is impeccable.

Same here, or I’ll remove a “Like” on accident by scrolling using my iPhone.
When I shipped my Oneway lathe part up your way, I was told from the manufacturer to claim the value at $0 dollars. This was a heavy part. I don’t know if that’s the legal way of doing it up there. The manufacturer only had to pay for the shipping costs, no duty.
I've done that a few times.as well, BUT if pkg goes missing/damaged there is no recourse as its valued at diddly squat.
I was lucky the part was under warranty and on the manufacturer dime if it got lost.
It should only be taxed on the cost of the "repair" work, but that said.... as soon as you put an insured value on the customs papers the buggers at Canada Border "Service" will use the insured value for their import value and tax you 13% + $9.95 fee when it comes back into Ontario.

It's a paint but yeah I've had parts outside in partial sun and it's still a few days it seems to fully cure. Try testing it out because my memory could be failing me but it's definitely not dry enough for install after 24 hours. I painted my Duster steelies with it and the paint held up a good 15 years. It's not as nice as powder coating but I can guarantee it held up 1000% better than Rustoleum would have in its place.
It just arrived Wayne!!
Thank you for your business, for your confidence in my abilities, and for being the most phenomenal Secret Santa who ever rode a sleigh!!
My engine compartment can hardly wait!

I do that too. One of my most popular colors is semi-gloss black. It is amazing for suspension parts, brackets and, air cleaners all kinds of other car related parts. I will tell people who want that color that if they can wait a couple of days, I'll combine it with another batch and save them a little money. It is WAY easier to do one batch of, let's say, 16 parts in semi-gloss black than two separate 8-piece batches.

That is all kinds of BS.
Is this the stuff I just saw on Facebook. If so she did a beautiful job.
Thanks for that
but @69conv's stuff just got here yesterday. I'm currently working on a big job that just got its first color last night. There are two other arrivals in between so it will be a bit.

Use Por 15: poor man's powder coat.
It is. Getting fabulous results that last for decades isn't.
I went to that guy's next suggested video on "proper prep." Seeing a dirty, unblasted piece of metal hanging up with tape on the threads 'ready to coat' was all I needed to see.
You can teach anyone how to do anything. Teaching them how to do it wrong is a disservice to the entire industry no matter what the subject matter is.
