Powder coating costs about the same as other
professionally applied paints or coatings on small
projects, and can often be substantially less expensive
on larger quantities of parts. Some bulk plating processes
similar to anodizing may be slightly less expensive.
More decorative finishes, such as chrome plating,
are substantially more expensive than powder coating.
The problem with listing items on price lists is
that it does not reflect the pricing on having more
than one part at a time powder coated. For example
a single head will cost about $165 to be powder coated,
a pair of heads about $235 (cylinders are the same),
but to have 2 heads and 2 cylinders powder coated
the same color at the same time is only about $400
for Standard Colors or $600 for 2 stage, Candy Colors
or cylinders with polished fins.
Pricing is determined by our labor, material and
power costs, with the main expense being the cost
to operate the ovens to cure the powder. Next on the
expense list is labor with it taking more time to
change colors than to spray them. The equipment and
the spray room have to be spotless as a few specks
of powder from one color can ruin the next color.
So the more parts sprayed per color and the more parts
cured at one time, the lower our costs are which lowers
your cost.
The most cost effective way to have powder coating
done is by having a number of pieces done at one time.
We are used to customers combining orders with others
and sending parts from several motorcycles at one
time. We encourage this as it allows us to give you
the highest quality powder coating at the best possible
price.
