What would it cost to have an entire frame powder coated?

Well I know nothing about this company but they list average costs for powder coating and they say $550 to $700.

LOOKING GOOD. I'm about to do the same thing myself.

Are you doing POR-15 with a topcoat of gloss black?

Regarding powdercoating, from what I understand about powder coating - it chips. It's also not easy to touch up if needed.

SURE DOES LOOK GOOD though.

If powder coating is done correctly it won't chip as easy as paint will.

Agreed,but Por-15 is a bit tougher than common paint,and far cheaper than powder-coating,I'd think.

After Chassis coat, it is a duller finish which I wanted, keep in mind I did nothing but blast and paint. I was not concerned with a perfectly smooth frame so I did not sand and fill imperfections.
