i bought my jk with 3k on it and some chrome side steps, i was wondering if anybody could give me a ballpark figure on how much to powercoat them black. i tried to sell or trade but no bites and i don`t really want to spent 3 to 4 hundred dollars on some black one!

 

I believe that the chrome will need to be removed before the powdercoat can be applied. Not much sticks to chrome, at least on a permanent basis. If that is the case, the cost would most likely be moe than a new set of steps, rails, nerf bars or whatever you want.

 

Could you sand the chrome a bit then prime them first? Don't know if primer would stick either.

 

I am not sure how much powder coating would cost, but I can tell you that you can buy a brand new set of black Rugged Ridge side steps for $150 dollars from Quadratec.

 

I was looking at getting my wheels powdercoated.

They told me that they would have to be sandblasted first and then powdercoated. For the entire service they would charge me $40.00 per wheel.

I cannot imagin the sidestep being more that a wheel.

Hope that helps.

 

thanks guys now to find a business near me to call, does anyone know of one in central alabama?

 

I did a google search with my area code and powercaoting adn got a whole list of places. I think you will be surprised.

I also called a local Harley dealer and asked who they recommended.

 

wow just called a couple of places around me and they all have a min of about 200 to 300 dollars to powdercoat so i guess i`ll try to sell again. ANYBODY INTERESTED! they are mopar brand chrome very nice never been offroad make an offer

 

Hi Folks,
I'm just finishing up a set of extremely HD rock sliders and contacted the local powdercoating company. If I supply them completely sand blasted and alcohol cleaned sliders they want $400.00 just to coat them! They can't have residual "body oils" off your fingers or anything and must be wrapped at the time I deliver them for coating. At this price perhaps I need to find something to protect the powdercoating...Ha Ha Ha!! Take care... Mike

 

Did you ask the price difference between gloss and semi-gloss?

Tuff coat 'em.
