hey guys just trying to figure out what a fair price would be to powder coat triple trees, risers, push rod covers, tappet covers, head light stem, and ceramic coat (chrome) vance and hines big radius exhaust shields. Im guessing around 3-400 but thats just a guess.....

 

Where I live there is literally one shop that does small run/ad hoc powder coating. They charge an arm and a leg because of that. I took a set of rims I wanted powdercoated to them and they quoted me a $1000. I then took them to a local custom bike builder and they quoted me $300 for the same job. The funny thing was the custom bike shop outsources their powder coating the the same shop that quoted me $1000. Powder coating prices can vary based on the size of the parts and the color you want. Check locally and see if you can get multiple estimates. Also check with local bike builders and Harley dealerships. They may be able to get you their bulk rate.

 

for about under $200 you could buy a used kitchen oven and an amuteur powdercoating gun from Harbor Freight and do all those pieces plus some.

I know it might be work you don't want to do but it is fairly easy. I've powdercoated probably 40-50 individual pieces between two bikes and I know for a fact that on my road glide with 3 pieces that I got a quote from a local powdercoater I had already broke even.

Powdercoating is better than painting and better than plastidipping hands down. It doesn't compare.

 

^- people thing that coating is such a 1-2-3 job... hahaha awesome, first the HF gun is horrible, what about blasting, what about chemical strip, maski, plugging, PMT ranges, booth, clean rooms... alot more is involved than a oven and gun to get a quality finish

Drew with the items you have i am happy to quote them. i will tell you that ceramic is $$$ as it does not really have a shelf life after it is opened, the pipes alone would put you around $200 if you ceramic them

I am happy to shoot you out a quote if you need we have done thousands of the parts you have listed above

 

 

For the most part "Good work isn't cheap and cheap work isn't good"


If you want a price list for powder coating go to the summax powder coating website and use it for a reference, they have prices on there for most everything on a bike.
