Default Powdercoating!

So I need to get my brush guard powder-coated. I'm going to start calling around tomorrow for prices, but I was wondering if anyone knew an avg. price for something like that because I have personally never dealt with powder-coating before. pics in a few minutes.. Thanks!

Default Pricing

I wouldn't pay more that $100 for it, depending on where you live. I had my factory 20" wheels done and I paid $60 / wheel.

The guy that I use would charge about $100 for something like that. Do yourself a favor and have them clear coat it too, holds up better to road grit hitting it. Also, every time I got something done they wanted it sandblasted first.

You don't have to, but man what a nice finish when your done. I've seen some powder coat that fades after being in the sun, with clear coat it won't
