About media blasting???
« on: May 26, 2017, 01:14:02 PM »
For those who have had it done on  a firebox and end caps, what was the cost?   Also, how did you find the place?

Jut had it done on my Genny recently  I think it was $70.00 for all three parts. Maybe $75. I found a guy who does powdercoating and fabrication close to me here in PA. Firebox was a PITA according to him, so many nooks and crannies. I thought it was a very fair price. Probably helped that I brought over a few other things to powdercoat. Kind of ended up a package deal.

Here's the deal on both blasting and powder coat. You are only limited based on the size of your equipment. I guess for blasting you don't have to have a booth but you will use way more media if you don't. Powder coat can be done anywhere but the trick is having an oven that will house what ever is being coated. I have been doing ss tumblers for the last 18 months in a toaster oven in my garage!

That's what I was thinking too! Black with the red logo on it.  Or black with all the different color WKC logos. You'd sell a bunch either way.

Ok Ok

ITs too damn hot in my garage right now but I will make a post when the time comes.  Red and black no problem I did copper to match my grills

I just use the Ozark trail ones from Wal mart and if I recall I can do the cup paint and flat rate ship for about $40.  PM for more details not sure if I Am supposed to be pimping my cups on this site or not
