Title: powder coating?
Post by: bullethead on December 12, 2008, 03:10:20 PM
Any suggestions on where to get powder coating done in Dallas. If not how bout specifics on what brand and color I need to get near the same as Ducati champagne in order to mail it somewhere.

Here's one that some of the folks on the board used in the past:

8804 Sovereign row
214-638-6416 ask for Steve

I'm sure someone will chime in about the quality.  [thumbsup]

Not in dallas but just in case....
I've used these guys twice(bicycle frames $100 per frame) and have been happy with the results.

Chime-  I used them on my rearsets and exhaust hangers.  They are good.  Plus if you want black there is no setup fee, they always have a gun setup for black!  And good prices, just tell them about the other duc riders who have been there and tell them whenever they run black it will be fine.  They normally run it about every other day.  Got mine back in 3 days!   [thumbsup]

+1 on custom powder coating.  they were cool to work with and had a quick turnaround time.  i had the wheels from the supersport done there...i had considered black just because it would have been much cheaper, but went with gold flake instead to try to get that classic ducati look.  good quality stuff, and they didn't over-coat anything, and i had no problems putting new bearings in the wheels.

plus, you'll be just down the street from scott's, so you'll have an excuse to "drop by" and mooch a beer.   [thumbsup]
