Wistech Powdercoating

[CptHook]

Im not sure if wistech is the powder coating guru here, Im pretty sure he is, but if he's not someone else can speak up. My Uncle is looking to have a couple things powder coated on his KFX 700, first thing which he knows he wants done is the exhuast shield. If you know what this looks like do you think you could give me a rough estimate on price? I could always post a pic if you need one to get an idea of what it would cost, I think he would like it done in like the elka red/ candy apple red. Hopefully if the price is good I can convince him to send you a couple other goodies too

He is doing some powdercoating on my motor, muffler and stuff. So I most def know he does pcing. Great guy to deal with.

Its not actually John that does this guys. He just has a guy up there that does a really good job that will do it very cheap for John. So John has the hookup and simply relays it to all of us.

Yeah, I realize that, was just hoping wistech could shoot me an estimate so I could relay it to my uncle.

Yep I do a nonprofit service to help out Cannondale owners who dont like getting ripped off by some pc shops.
Im looking to get some high temp stuff done very soon and if you have the same color (gloss black)it will be cheaper for us.
I dont do the coating I just get good deals from local shops.

If you do this, I highly recommend taking the muffler apart, and ceramic coating the core, and also the inside of the muffler as well. With the short headpipe, it tends to burn packing very quickly, and will eventually crack the first mount. I speak from experience on that one.

Doug is right. I have heard this from more than one person. Doug has probably done more exhaust experimentation than any one. Also, the look of a ceramic coated exhaust is awesome.

Good advice.

Still looking for someone to do it. Any ideas????

So....price estimate? Like I said he's looking to get it elka red, or a red near that.
