Local Powder Coating

[SVTCANUK]

I'm looking to have some springs powder coated, can anyone recommend some place local?

Tefline in Burlington does good work and their prices are good too.

Aaron, do you know if they strip parts also? I need to remove the original coating.

 

[SVT SNOB]

Yeah they do, They glass beaded my brothers intake manifold then stripped his valve covers and powder coated them.

You might also want to check out Fireball Coatings (www.fireballcoatings.com) they did my motorcycle frame, swingarm and a few other misc parts, great price, the blast everything for you and pretty quick turn around, along with PC they also do dry lubricants and ceramics as well. Pretty much a one stop coating shop.

I sent a request for quote to Fireball but I can't find contact info for Tefline. Aaron do you have a link or phone number?

 

[SVT SNOB]

HMM that's weird, I will see if I can find the number.

Got a quote from Fireball for $60 per spring. Is this a reasonable price? :shrug:

Jeeze....considering you can buy a brand new set of B&G springs from this place for $215 and free shipping since the order is over $50....I'd say that's pricey. $60 x 4 springs = $240:

I have found a couple of fairly local place to get the work done. One is in Markham Aesthetic Designs you can see an Duratec UIM in his portfolio. The other place is in the K/W area Century Powder Coating. Both these places are about $80 to $100 to strip and powder coat. I considered new springs but this is still creaper and will probably last much longer, the factory coating on the BAT springs is poop and I'm not leaving it to chance that they won't rust again.

check out briken coatings in Mississauga, on Kestrel Rd

www.briken.ca

let me know how that goes.

I dropped the springs off at Aesthetic Designs today, it's just around the corner from one of my customers. He couldn't believe how poor the factory coating from BAT was, he was shocked with all the deep scratches and chips in the finish. I hope I am an exception to the rule when it comes to BAT Euro suspensions because there are a lot of them out there.

If you were closer.. you could have come and powdercoated them in my garage yourself .

I actually considered buying myself a DIY kit and I still may, I figured I should start out on smaller pieces first. Where did you buy your stuff?
