I'm taking my pan to have some estimates on getting it powdercoated tomorrow. What kind of numbers should I expect to hear? I know it's big and kinda awkward so to have it blasted and coated isn't gonna be cheap. I just want to know if I'm about to get "sticker shock" when they tell me what it'll cost.

I was pleasantly surprised. The first place I took it to said they'd do it for $365 blasted and coated with silver vein and clear and back by the end of the week. Needless to say I didn't even take it anywhere else. I was expecting somewhere north of $700

BTW there's a powder coating place that just opened up here in Harrisonburg called Jacob's Powdercoating and he is doing my engine tins and couple other parts for $200 in silver vein and for gloss black he quoted me $275 for the pan when I'm ready Very Happy

Where did you take it in VaBeach? I lived there for 20 years, never knew there was a place there. That's awesome.
