powder coating -62 chevy frame and all parts
I just got my 62 chevy frame powder coated semi gloss black with all the parts, rear end housing, upper and lower a frames, upper rear control arms(I did two uppers)and lower rear control arms, transmission mount, new 409 coil springs, all front end parts,spindes, except ball joints and tie rod ends, fender mounting brackets, small fender mounting parts, backing plates(I am not using them). I had all the parts blasted first(traded blasting with a friend for parts I bought him -many places around here do blasting of frames). All the powder coating cost less than $400. It looks outstanding!!. Local company does the work took in on Monday picked it up Friday. I did the coil springs in Gray powder coating. I painted the upper a arm brackets eastwood spray gray the lower a frame mounting arms where done in gray powder coating.
I have pictures available, can add to my site for all to look at.
I have another friend that dropped his vette frame and scratched it. He heated it up with a heat gun and fixed the damage.
Company touches up the blasting with metal beads before the powder coating.
I am convinced for anyone around here that this is the way to go.
They put plugs in screw holes, tape off the rear end housing bolts for the third member, front spindles, taped off. I am adding discs to this frame I can't believe how nice it looks. No primer on the frame needed. This company does farm equipment plus for body shops restoration shops around here.
