Default Powder Coater Wanted

I'm thinking on buying a bunch of new parts like derby, timer, fuel and swing arm bolt covers with the skulls and chains on them and having them blacked out to match the Iron. Anyone know of a good powder coating shop in new england to handle such a job? Thanks

If you don't come up with anyone local, Area 51 Powdercoating down here in NC did my Bassani pipes for me. Great price, done in a week.

Sorry, I'm in L.A. but even living out here with several shops I used that tall can of RustOlium Enamel on several parts. I wouldn't do my gas tank but things like swingarms etc came out perfect! Start with a black sandable primer and then a couple light tack-coats of black. Then just sand lightly and keep applying the enamel till you have a perfect looking coat. It's also a newer formula and drys much quicker, not like the old skool enamel. I guarantee you can't tell the difference, it's every bit as good as powder coat and MUCH CHEAPER! (being enamel, it will go on top of most anything w/out any problems, just don't try to put an acrylic over it!)

only problem is the entire motor is already powder coat so enamel just would not match.

He's local to me. He's did my bike. There's no question that the work is top notch. Ton's of non local guys from all over send him their stuff too.
