All,

I am opening back up for individual and group buy games for powder coating. It's been a year since I have been able to do that type of work due to backlog and bulk games being done.

It's been a LOOONG year but a bunch of new things have come about. Colors and finishes you won't get from anyone else. I also learned a lot about sharing my color schemes and finishes with people in an attempt to help the hobby as a whole only to have them attempt to copy and sell on their own. That won't happen again

Some NEW things like a "Mystic" paint style powder over a custom base which about 50 people asked for. Base & Undercoat reactives. and a MATTE sparkle (This was fun to get right).

Pricing and timings depend on finish and powder stock.

PM for details

That's awesome. Still have your FT?

That's the key. Not everything needs to be high gloss. Some of the most beautiful yet usable and friendly finishes are half tone mattes. It's the additives you put in the powder that make it amazing. Like a metallic blue sparkle in a matte finish. It needs absolutely no attention to stay perfect. Glosses depending on the color get micro scratches and under certain lights can be very noticeable.

NYC. I ship pin parts all over. I have custom boxes for pin parts

We had a Ton of pin work to plow through amongst the normal show car work and industrial apps.

Anything metal (conductive).

Yes but I would imagine the shipping would cost as much as the powder work

I can do metallic black flat sure. I can do that in any color.

Thanks Aurich! Knowing your artistic background that's a meaningful compliment. I'm sure I can do something insane for one of your games

Thanks Erik! I'll offer it as a group buy for MMr folks most likely.

Mike any pics of Metallica? I never saw the finished machine

Pat has the only game I have done today that is UV (black light) reactive. It looks crazy. I think he has a video of it

I had a quick discussion with Kevin about predator at Allentown last year. I told him we could do the reactives and they would look amazing but he seemed skeptical. A single stage red which is what he is using now isnt a good candidate for a uv cover. You need a metallic or shiny base.

Anything can be done. Just remember that the reactive is a 3 stage. So the powder is thicker than normal. Ok for wireforms. Be careful with small parts that have limited clearence as this makes the part 1/64th-1/32nd of an inch thicker per coat.

Leg bolts? Possibly if i do that color. Can't do just the bolts by itself though. Can't be cost effective

Nice Greg!...

I don't have any pictures I can show. I'll leave that to JJP. Sorry But trust me it won't be mustard yellow.

I'll find one for you

It's a custom mix i do for MM and MB. It's blue in some lights and purple in others. Done with a refraction additive mixed into a blue base with a custom purple tinted clear I won't give any additional specifics but it's probably the most insane color we've done.

Depends on the color. It's not a flat price. Different colors have different prices as powder prices vary wildly as does the work involved based on the color selection.

Semi gloss is nice.. here is one with a hint of sparkle..

Matte (Semi)'s look great but they do look like a very dark shade of gray. You aren't going to get a deep deep black in a matte because their is no light penetration like there is with a 95+/- gloss clear.

The black gloss (ink black) has a built in clear. You can buff them out but it's true the gloss will show micro scratches more than the matte by a large margin. Matte is beautiful though. Can't go wrong with it.

The matte looks beautiful. I recommend matte finishes especially on some of the more insane colors.

We ship car parts all over the place. Doing the bumper wouldn't be an issue. If powder is bubbling or peeling they didn't prep it properly. Probably powdered right over the existing finish. Not good!

There isn't really a wood grain powder but basically you do a black substrate, wood colored mid coat, rough it up with steel wool, clear coat to get a powder wood grain. Not perfect but looks good.

P.S. you are a 4 hour drive. Depending on how big the bumpers are it may be possible to have them done in one day so you drive here in the morning. Parts get done, drive home with them afterwards
