Has anyone powder coat the rear and center spring on their sled (viper). What is the prep for the spring and how thick? Thanks

A buddie of mine owns a powder coating shop, here in Grand Rapids, " Magnum Powder Coating". They do all the work, prepping...etc. They do a great job. Just clean the parts real good.

I was planning on trying it on front springs. My plan was just to sandblast and powder coat like normal. What where you thinking would need extra prep?

BTW where do you buy your powder? I usually use this place: http://www.columbiacoatings.com/ maybe I'll shoot them a note before I do it. But I'm pretty sure I read before that powder coating was better then painting becuase it can flex. I'm worried about coverage down where the coils are basically coil bound.

Not sure where I'm going to buy the powder coating?

Well I graduated w/ him, so I get the "family" discount, So I can't really say...on the prices. But he does a great job.

Located in Windsor ON but they have a US mailing address in Detroit for shipping reasons. Probably $40 for the first item and $10 (Canadian funds)for each additional item of the same color in the same order. It would be more for two color/clear. You'll have to contact him for more accurate pricing but it seems to me that's what he said the last time I asked. Talk to Rob, tell him Ian pointed you in his direction. He's a sledder as too, only he wears yellow. They do have a Vmax 600 in the garage as well.
You can check out the work in my sled "working log" "History of the Vmax Rage 600" in my sig. Make sure you call the other guy, I have know idea how my guys pricing compares.
