Default Powdercoat

Hey guys. I am in the process of ordering a poison spider front and rear bumper and would like to take them to get powdercoated black before installing them. What kind of place does this job? Just auto paint stores?

Usually a shop that does specializes in powdercoating. Google powdercoating in your area and you'll probably find something close.

Skip the powdercoat unless it's strictly a pavement pounder. I powdercoated all the armor on mine at great expense. Less than a season later I'd beat it so bad that it looked like chit. Very tough to touch up and get a decent looking repair. My advice. Rattlecan it flat black and touch it up when it needs it. Mine now look like new all the time.

Can I ask what brand of epoxy paint you used, and thru what supplier? Is it water based or
petroleum based? Was it hard to work with? I might spray it on.

Thanx
