Those of you that have had your frame powder coated, what did it cost you?

Those of you that have had your frame powder coated, what did it cost you?

Cost depends on several factors.

I charge $100 in labor to coat a frame. Powder cost between $15 and $35
per pound, and it takes a pound to a pound and a half.

If you did all the prep (cleaning, media blasting, taping, etc.), your looking
at around $120 to $150 for the job. If the powder coater has to do all the
prep, add another $150 to the cost.

Sorry to hijack, but where do you get your powder dogger? I am looking for a good white for a '95.

I am looking for a good white for a '95.

I just commissioned a batch of color matched Shasta White
from Tiger Drylac. Custom matched colors require minimum
orders (in this case 250 lbs). I keep about half for my
restoration work and sell the rest. I sell it for $20/lb plus
shipping if you want some.

Here's a picture of a restored and coated frame I just did using
the Shasta White:

is it possible to match the original 1980 Honda Tahitian Red?

Yes, I have Tahitian Red as well. Same price as the Shasta White.

Here's a picture of my '79 fresh out of the curing oven:

I bought and used doggers tahitian red on my 79cr250 looks GREAT. The RAL 3020 is as close as you will get without a custom mixed powder.
