Need help locating a powder coater.

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a shop to do a powder coat on my ATV frame, and a few other small parts.I need some one who is willing do one or two frames and misc. small parts.Most shops I called so far are not willing to do short run projects, just mass production stuff.
Any leads will be helpful.
Thanks, Benny

you may want to try some harley shops, i know it dont seem like they would do that but they will direct you to someone local who does and they do great work only thing is its gonna cost you because if its crome it needs to be stripped then it can be powdercoated. also there is two kinds of powdercoating so you will want to make it clear what you want. hope that helps

Benny, I am not sure this would work on the frame, but I had my front and rear racks sprayed by Line-x. they do the rubber bed liners for pickup boxes. This stuff worked great for my racks. I sanded the rust off and they sparayed right over most of the original powder coating. Just my 2 cents.

I never thought about the line-X bed spray.
That would be a cool looking frame, I did find several shops to do the work for me.One is located right in NE MPLS by my work place.They will sand blast and coat the frame on a 250R for $135.00 maybe a little more if you use an expensive powder paint.
Thanks, Benny

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
