I just need a small piece done

does anybody know of a place that'll do small one piece orders? every place around me has a $100 minimum.

I'm located in ohio

thanks!

 

There are several motorcycle aftermarket shops here in houston, one being Bayou City Billet, they do all sorts of things from chroming and polishing to powdercoating and painting. And since they work with motorcycles only I dont think that the small parts thing will be a problem. I dont know if they anodize but you could always check similar places near you.

i'll have to do some searching on the internet then

i live in ohio

no custom anything here LOL

 

I know there is a place in Piney Flats, TN that anodizes. I called them and they priced doing a set of LT headers for $60!!!! I will try to get the # for you, if you want to try shipping it to them. They do the headers of a lot of NASCAR teams. Say its better than ceramic coating.

 

yeah PM me the number man

thanks!

 

i candy powder coat it for you . It looks identical to the anodizing if not better. pm me if your interested

 

I was thinking the same thing. My TB is powder coated with a candy red and looks great. people think its anodized all the time

 

yeah in my opinion the candy colors are alot nicer than anodizing. I have many customers who are constantly bring me diff. parts for candy powder coating

 

I think it would hold up better too. But I don't know that for sure

shoot me a pm for a price

how thick is the powder coating?

 

the Bayou City Billet website wouldn't load, and their phone number that came up has been disconnected???



so i'm still looking for a place to do a one piece anodize!

 

can someone post some pics of the candy powder-coating. And does it come in lot's of colors?

Thanks!

 

check out my car domain page for a pic of my powder coated tb... I have more pics if you need to see more

 

I was under the impression that only Aluminum alloys were anodized. I also don't understand how it would work better than ceramic coating, since the purpose of that is temperature resistance? In either case, go with the powdercoating....it would be way more durable. If an anodized part gets the slightest scratch, you'll be able to see it.

 

well, actually anodized parts are quite hard to scratch (but they CAN be scratched), and anodizing is a rust inhibitor. Ceramic coating only sprays onto the metal. Anodize actually bonds to the metal thru use of acids and such. And no, most all metals can be anodized.

 

Can steel and/or stainless steel nuts and bolts be anodized?

Steel and stainless steel can't be anodized; the process baths used to anodize aluminum would attack and dissolve steel parts.

I took the above from this site: http://www.anodizing.org/faqs.html

As for being a rust inhibitor, aluminum will not rust. It naturally develops an oxide layer, but I've heard that you can can "rust" it with mercury.

I'm not bagging on you here, I'm just interested to hear more about anodizing ferrous metals.

 

sooooooooooooooooooooooooo


does anybody know where i can get something anodized or not? i don't want powdercoat, i need the thin coat of anodizing

 

you can do it yourself.here's a link on how to do it.it cost about $100 for supplies but if you end up wanting more done it might be worth it.

yeah i just got a tiny piece...i'm goina go to the group buy section and see if someone wants to get something done, so we can split the cost

 

hey matt, This is Derek from NEOFB. Check with Rob (lethal_ws6) He has a shop in Elyria where he does all of his powdercoating at a very reasonable price. He does a really good job to. Anyway, he does have some colors that look just like the blue and red anodized color. You should contact him on our site I'm sure he will hook you up with a great price. Give it a shot, nothing to loose by asking right?
