Sand blasting and powder coating questions
« on: July 25, 2008, 06:22:34 PM »
what should it cost to get a frame and swing arm blasted?

Also what should it cost for a black powder coat?

Depends on your coater.

I had my frame and motor mounts blasted and coated with a wet black for $300.  Might have been a bit high but the coating looks like it's a mile thick!
It took 10 years but she's finally done!

Figure anywhere from 100-400 dollars for stripping and coating, depending on what color you get. Once you get away from solid colors and if you want extra depth and whatnot the price goes up.

Owner of a local custom bike shop let me sandblast nearly the whole bike for a case of beer, a six of Redbull for his emplyees and a bag of sandblast media.  Nice guy, I had just met him too.

I know a couple guys at a Machine Shop, I get to bead blast anything I want that'll fit in the cabinet...unfortunately a CB750 frame is about 4 inches too long :( But they hot tanked it for me for free hehe. It definitely pays to know people with equipment I have no room for at home lol.
