He said he would have done my whole frame for $300. That was about a year ago. Not every place has an oven large enough to do a frame, so check around. I would get every part that is going to be black and have it done. His phone # is 831-630-1254. Not the easiest place to find.

I just had my frame and just about every loose piece that I could muster up. I had it sandblasted and powdercoated in a silver with 2 clear coats for ~$650. The only thing that I would have done different is taken it after sandblasting and spent a lot time sanding out the imperfections. (ie rocks dents, casting overflows, rust pits, ect.) I now have a awesome looking frame and parts but in some areas it looks really rough | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 338 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 338 | I had mine done in Sacramento for about $450. Came out nice, check it out: http://home.pacbell.net/gjvilla/Frame_coated I just cleaned of all the heavy stuff and they sandblasted out the rest. | | |
