Media Blasting and Powder Coating
I decided to invest some money to start a media blasting and powder coating business. I do have 10+ years doing body work and painting but I have to admit that powder coating is new to me but it really is a nice, durable finishing process.
Although I have not been on this site a whole lot, my favorite hobby is working on small engines and rotary engines. These hobbies are now linked with what I will be doing full time. I decided I would offer my online friends a good discount if you wanted some of your parts re-finished. I figure the only parts that would not kill you on postage would be wheels, carb parts, springs and tranny covers. I will post my elite parts when I get to them but thought I would post this to see if anyone would be interested. Attached is a wheel set I did for a customer today in satin black.
I am thinking just 20 to blast and refinish a tranny cover with a color I have in stock, postage will probably be about 20 as well so I am not trying to get rich off this!

Very nice, professional-looking results. You will get rich if you charge $20 to ship a tranny cover however. The Elite/Aero/Spree items fit in a $5.95 Priority Flat-Rate "Small" box.

Re: Media Blasting and Powder Coating
I just mailed my dremel off to the MFG in a 5.95 flat box and it barely fit but maybe a tranny cover will fit in one too. I don't plan on making money on shipping, whatever it takes to send is what I will charge on the return.
I will do all those parts in the picture the same color for 60. Prepped and Coated, just try to take all rubber pieces, heavy grease and bearings out.

Re: Media Blasting and Powder Coating
For sure you will be getting a lot of businesss here with that price. The local shop charges $50 minimum, even if they are just throwing brake levers in with another job.NetCustoms wrote:I will do all those parts in the picture the same color for 60.

Re: Media Blasting and Powder Coating
My goal is to get old Honda Scooters looking like new for a low price, I am an enthusiast too. Satin black is a sweet color with just enough sheen to look like it was made yesterday. I have access to over 6500 colors through my supplier so the sky is the limit. I am waiting on a shipment of chrome candy, metallics and neon finishes just to see how they look in person, I saw the chips and they look almost unreal.
I live in Mt. Vernon Virginia, right down the street from George Washingtons old pad.
