I sent pinchroma a Pm but never heard back from him. I am looking to get the ramps on my batman forever recoated the same color, and also send in the legs, rails, hinges, and coin door to match. Who is the go to person these days that isnt going to cost me an arm and a leg?

Your local auto paint shop or custom car shop would work

I used Back Alley early this year. Fast turn around and reasonable pricing.

I second agree and vouch for Matts great work over at BAC. Just had a coin door done by him, was stellar! Pricing reasonable too. I know Gio at Pinball refinery does it as well, pricing fair as well. I believe he recently did a PR edition batman forever. It looked awesome. Look up zdoor on pinside and or go to pinballrefinery.com

Sorry I'm just really busy and haven't done much end user work.

That color is a custom I mixed for the 3 or 4 BF's I did. It's not a solid single stage color it's a 2 stage. Also that ramp is a pain in the ass to ship because it's HUGE. You are going to have to custom make a box for it. Also please disassemble it before you send it to whoever is going to do your PC. Do not send them the little arm and pins that hold the arm. They are small and likely will get lost in shipping. And regardless of what people tell do, do NOT go to your local auto body powdercoater unless you want your parts destroyed, especially on ones that are unobtanium like that wireform.

Look locally .They are out there.Just got my AFM done in shiny black .Thirteen pieces for $125. If you are not sure of someones work send them a set of legs to do then decide.

Back alley is the spot. Matt handles everything and his quality is impeccable, as well as his communication.

Gio does fantastic work out here in CA.

Back Alley has a great communication, turnaround time and pricing.

I found out that there is a guy that I work with who got certified by Dupont and does powder coating. He did my BSD wireforms and did an excellent job. The only thing is that shipping might be costly for youe because you would be sending some heavy parts and are on an opposite coast.
