Anyone have a price on what it cost to powder coat a doodlebug frame in your neck of the woods? Never powder coated anything so no idea is this is just more dreaming on my part and a poor use of my dollars. Would be dam nice looking that is for sure.

I've clear coated 2 tanks now in an effort to preserve the paint and decals. Between fuel leaking out of the cap while riding, pressure building up causing fuel to bleed out of the cap, and refilling the tank, I've become VERY conscious of not getting fuel on my tanks. Clear coating them seems...

Been meaning to ask this for a while. What brand of rattle can have you guys had luck with getting the old school metal flake look out of, or is it even remotely possible beyond a regular metallic? Powder coating can't go that direction as far as I have seen, and I know originally it was...

I am getting ready to send my frame off for powder coating. Before I do, I've got to order the color I want. How much powder should I order? It comes in pounds. It would probably be best to have a little extra in case there are any mishaps or it requires a second round of coating. I'm coating...

Question about using filler and powder coating. One guy at the shop said you can't use ANY type of fillers if your powder coating - apparently the oven cracks fillers such as bondo. Have to fill w metal only. Another guy said you can use a product called "Lab metal", which is a 2 part product...

Since there are no stupid questions (only stupid people, haha), here we go! I bought a little Craftsman powder coater to play with (it was only $35) and in the powder canister, there is what looks to be 2 small pieces of orange foam (look like ear plugs, but one is longer than the other). Is...

The inside of the tank on the bike I'm restoring has some rusting going on. I did some searching and came accross KBS coatings 3 step system. Has anyone used this? Would you reccomend it or something else? Seems like for $39 it is a pretty good solution. Also, could this be done before...

I know from reading posts there are a few guys here with a lot of powder coating experience. I got a few questions if someone may offer some answers please. How much metal prep should I do? Does it need to be like primer ready or does the coater do this? What should I expect to pay for a...

Soon I will be getting a '72 Moto Skeeter 650, and I really want to do this bike right, so I am going to be phoning a few local powder coating shops and taking quotes on what it will cost to get the frame, tank, fenders, engine shroud, clutch covers, etc powder coated. I was just wondering what...

I just got my Skat Kitty back from the powder coater. Everything looks great, even the parts that he chrome powder coated. Problem is the frame. There are little pin holes all over it. He said because of impurities in the cast aluminum. When he bakes it the impurities pop out. You can see...
