so i have been seriously been considering getting a small powder coating setup for personal and small business purposes like doing stuff for people around my small town. so my question is pricing, i want to make money but still keep the prices very low if i do end up doing things for people so i wanted to ask and get an idea of pricing from normal shops and such so i can pigure my shit out here are a few base parts that i want to get approx. prices on: valve cover- wheel- intake manifold- bicycle frame- thanks any and all input is appreciated
sorry my computer went crazy and double posted this thread please delete this one and post in the other
Prices I would expect to pay: valve cover - $65 wheel (15x7, more for larger) - $90 intake manifold - $65 bike frame - $130 all assuming 1 color, and the part is taken to you with nothing that needs removal (sensors, valve stems, etc). charge extra if the parts need a lot of extra cleaning (dirt/oil/rust)
Yeah, just be sure to get your name out there. Attend car shows and advertise. You need to spend some money to earn money. Try to have a lot of samples for people to see what the colors actually look like on parts, not just a book of swatches. After seeing some powdercoats from a guy who does stuff for our shop, it really made me want to get a lot of stuff done!
yeah the place im looking at buying from has a bunch of sample powder kits and blank plates and i have some valve covers laying around that ill do. and i have a friend that im gonna do some stuff on his camaro for cost so he can go show his shit off and on my car as well. i think i have it all planned out pretty well and im getting really excited. hopefully i can get my whole setup by christmas
