Guys, does a regular auto body that does paint have a powder coating machine? Or do I actually have to look for a shop that only does powder coating?

the best price is where i would go lol

 

nah Im asking if regual body shops with paint do powder coating. or do I have to find a real powder coating shop.

 

powder coating requires putting whatever you want powder coated into an electrolysis machine then putting it into an oven to bake it.

If your'e thinking about powder coating your truck i wouldn't know prices but i'd assume that it's going to be really really expensive.

 

There are different processes to do paint versus powder coat, so definitely not all paint shops will also do powder coating. Your best bet is to just call around.

 

Guys on here gave me a ball park price. Not bad prices. Just getting front and rear bumper powder coated. then the grille will be painted. I just want it all done at the same shop.

 

yea I have a couple of shops in town just have to drive to them and see whats up.

 

150 each here for bumpers

 

powdercoaters have to have an acid tank, sandblaster, electrolysis machine, and oven. Most paint and body shops don't do this, but if you have a local racing shop or hot rod-ish type shop, they should know a powdercoater.

If not, im sure there are industrial powdercoaters around you. They usually wont come up as a powdercoating shop, they do things like fleet toolboxes and retail shelves, etc.

http://www.customcoaters.com/#CCdirectory has some. They quoted me at 100/bumper. To answer your question...probably not

 

Hey, If you lived near me I have found a real cheap powder coated place that does a good job. The place im going to is going to charge me only 200 to do all 4 wheels. Thats damm cheap.
