Joe's Powder Co. (pricing listed inside)

[blu_fuz]

I have had quite the interest in powder coating from the CEG members. Here is a link Joe's Powder Co. (pricing listed inside) - CEG Forums (http://www.contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?t=27135) to the CEG group buy listing and there are pics of work I have done for people there. I am offering NECO the same service and prices. Don't be afraid of the number of posts I have (4) because I have been on CEG since September 2002.

EVERYONE WHO GETS PARTS POWDER COATED, CLEAN THEM WHEN YOU GET THEM BACK! IT IS NOT MY JOB TO CLEAN YOUR ENTIRE PART. I ONLY BLAST, CLEAN, AND POWDER COAT WHAT I NEED TO. I AM NOT LIABLE FOR YOUR CARLESSNESS.

NEW OVEN, NOT WIRED YET (5-13-08)

I am officially announcing that I am now in the powder coating business. I am accepting just about any job at this time. Turnaround is about 1 week and I will notify you if it will take longer. Pricing is listed below for items that I have quoted for others.

I will cover return shipping for all orders, from the same location, that weigh less than 10lbs. If it weighs more than 10lbs ADD the return shipping money to the payment. This is just an outline of costs to you and are subject to change based only on the time to prep the parts and if you want a color I don’t have.

Add an additional $20 for each color change. IF YOU WANT POWDER COAT CLEAR ON YOUR PARTS, ADD $15 TO ENTIRE PURCHASE AND I WILL COAT ALL PIECES IN YOUR ORDER FOR $15.


If they are all the same color:


$25 for Weapon R power steering tank
$25 for Weapon R coolant tank
$20 for e-brake handle
$15 for shift knob
$20 for motorcycle case cover
$20 for each motorcycle hub

(You must have your OEM brake calipers dismantled 100%. If you leave the piston in, I will remove it; the dust cover, and the rubber gasket ring inside the caliper) I am finding out it is taking way too much time to dismantle them. Baer brakes you can send to me any way you want, those are easy to work with.

Joe does very good work guys! I'm very happy with the parts I had PC'd!

Excellent product at a very good price and quick to return parts too... :D

[gamiller]

i was reading online that wheels need to be cured under UV light rather than in an oven b/c the typical baking process will weaken the wheels, causing them to fail. do you know whether or not this is true? how are you curing the wheels?

[blu_fuz]

I have read that also. I bake up to 400 degrees. Each wheel's composition is different and if you think there is any chance that it could weaken the rim, don't send it. I did a set of steelies with no problems, but of course those are probably the easiest wheels and least compromised wheel you can powdercoat. I think each wheel is it's own case, be cautious and do your research. I would suggest calling the manufacturer to see what they say also before you decide. - JOE

[bensenvill]

for those of you who dont venture onto CEG, Joe is a standup guy to deal with.

Joe, you'll probably be seeing a large order from me later this year.

how much would a rear strut bar be? 37.5" long

When the new oven is wired, approx $30. You would need to have it blasted before you send it also. New oven will be wired sooooooon. I hope :)

[jaged]

when i make them they are stripped down to bare steel. I dont have any right now, but good to know for future customers

[CincyZetec]

is that valve cover price good for zetec valve covers too?

[blu_fuz]

Yep! I have done a couple zetec covers, they turn out nice because the castings they are made from are well made.

[blustreak]

I think I saw a set of pictures that showed a lot of the colors you have done but now I can't find it. I know colors looks different in person but do you have a list or a color set of the available colors you can obtain? How about a Matte or Satin Black color or will all colors have some bit of sheen or gloss to them?

try this link to take you to all my powder coated things:

I can get gloss, candy, metallic, flat, wrinkle, hammertone, satin, semi gloss, super 120% mirror gloss, flip flops, chromes, high temp, neons, etc...

[Yofavcracka]

i might have you do a few things on my mustang. Valve covers etc. that engine bay needs it bad lol.

[blu_fuz]

I just made an EGR delete plate for the mustank intake plentum for someone I know. I think if you are running headers then you don't need the EGR unless you have emissions testing :shrug:

when i get longtube headers one of these days ill be deleting the EGR, and as far as emissions go, i know a guy that passes abunch of us with modded cars in south cali.

But i was thinking about finding valve covers off of one in a junk yard and having you powdercoat them bright red. Its the v6 so theyre pretty tiny little OHV covers :rofl:

[blu_fuz]

Sounds good, send them when you are ready! I also have a ferrari red wrinkle that might look pretty nice and doesn't show scratches like a smooth gloss finish :shrug:;)

[Yofavcracka]

thanks, ill get back to you whenever i can pick up a set of extra valve covers.
And i think ill still go with the smooth finish, the wrinkle looks good, but its not my taste.

[AndrewM6097]

How about an EGR delete plate for the duratec? i would like one

[blu_fuz]

We are getting busy at work again so I won't have time to measure, draw, and plasma cut a EGR delete for our platform yet. Sorry - I might later on. I will do an interest check for it in the group buy section sometime in the future.

I powder coated some parts for skywalker, here is a teaser pic :biggrin:

And i just ordered some valve covers, whenever i get them ill sandblast them and send them off to you. Do you have any idea how much it'll cost? Ill send you a few pic's if you need.

[1veryfastvr4]

a few guys i kno that powdercoat for online buy parts and have them ready to blast when they get a order in so they can charge a core until they get the part from the buyer, this way they can have one in transit saving on time... maybe its something you want to look into to save time and get you more business :)

maybe post a list of possible parts you would be willing to buy to have ready to powdercoat....

I think that's a good idea but you always have the wear factor. If I send someone my part to get powdercoated and it's in great shape almost new, I don't want to get back one that has a load of wear on it and simply looks nice. He would also run the risk of never receiving the part from a buyer or it getting damaged in the mail etc. There are just a lot more complications when you consider doing something like holding stock for future purchases.

I am such a small business also. I would rather not have that kind of inventory sitting around taking up space. Good idea for a bigger business, but powder coating is job specific and even things like valve covers change from year to year and nothing is ever quite the same. My turn around time is as fast as 1 day and back in the mail somtimes in less than 18 hrs from when I recieve it. I tell everyone a week for turn around just to cover my end of the deal in a timely matter. I have done powder coating on parts that cost more to ship next day air to me and next day air back! All depends on the job and what condition the parts are in when I get them.

thats were core fee comes in, im not sure on the wear factor tho... im guessin he would have to be judge of those parts he buys

[gamiller]

Joe, will you accept fully-assembled, brake calipers directly from the vendor? I know that's not your preference, but I'd rather not pay for shipping to me twice. If not, I'll try to have the powder-coating done locally. Thanks.

[blu_fuz]

I would take it right from there but it is such a huge PITA to tear the OEM brakes apart. Atleast the rears are a problem, havn't dismantled the fronts yet. I guess you could send them to me, it will just take a little more time for me to break them down. Can I leave them tore down and send them back to you that way? Then I would say yes, I would do it for you. I will explain the rebuild process to you also.......

[gamiller]

i'm just talking about the fronts. the pins, pads, springs, would all need removal. you wouldn't have to reassemble them, but i would like all the parts back.

[blu_fuz]

Sure, go ahead and send them right from the vendor. You will get all the parts sent to you, no need for me to keep any of it.... :shrug::confused:

how much are 2 valve covers to be done in chrome?

how much are 2 valve covers to be done in chrome?


Chrome with no clear $70 - with clear $85

[1veryfastvr4]

for the set?


also side note if anyone doesnt want to see down time on the car with some misc motor parts getting powdercoated i call sell stuff off the 2.5 here and ship straight to powdercoater, pm dont want to cluter this thread tho :)

[blu_fuz]

Yes for the set. You can put your extra parts list here for people to buy from you to send off for powder coating. It is no problem. The chrome is called "gloss metallic chrome" - It is as close to chrome as you can get with a paint.

[1veryfastvr4]

cool, i havent started partin motor out yet but if i dontt get much interest from it as a whole then i will

[blu_fuz]

THE POWDER COATING HAS TO BE PUT ON HOLD FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I HAVE TO CLOSE UP SHOP BECAUSE OF FLOODING IN OUR AREA. WE HAVE WATER FOUNTAIN LIKE SPRINGS SQUIRTING THROUGH OUR FOUNDATION WALL OF OUR HOUSE. MY POWDER COATING BOOTH/AREA IS WATER LOGGED AND WE NEED TIME FOR THIS TO DRY OUT. IF YOU STILL HAVE POWDER COATING NEEDS AND YOU ARE ON A DEADLINE IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS, PM ME TO SEE IF I CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT.
-STANDBY FOR UPDATES
Sorry for the inconvenience - JOE

[gamiller]

Joe,

Thanks for the update. I will hold off on sending those calipers to you.

Good luck!

[blu_fuz]

We are officially screwed...
UPDATE:
We are under water. Had sewage backup and 3 inches of ****/water in the basement last night. The city is pumping the sewer into the storm drains out on the street to keep from having it backup into people's basements. I am shocked. Still no powder coating everyone, sorry.

[blu_fuz]

I can't leave you guys hanging any more..... Business will re-open monday June 23rd. Mail your parts out on thurs or friday if you wish.

I hope that means your situation has gotten better. Sounds like you've had a rough go of it recently. I hope to mail you parts in the future but am not sure what I'd like done yet.

.... Can you do a ST200 RSB? I have brand new one hanging out waiting to be installed but the bars are silver and I think a different color is in order.

that would be sweet! he needs to setup his larger oven to do that. hopefully he found a dry place to set it up. :\

[blu_fuz]

Love your sig pic gamiller! I do have the big oven shell. My 3L build is in the way of even using that oven if it was wired. BUT it is not wired yet, so I can't do the RSTB. I keep putting it off because I have to tear apart my only working oven to make the big one work. If it doesn't work then I have nothing.....

[blustreak]

How big is your operating oven? I can measure the bars or even the space in the trunk area where they reside and maybe they'll fit unless you've tried it before.

[blu_fuz]

Standard kitchen oven size - 18" cube, roughly

joe, i got some stuff i need to send your way. call me douchebag!:) i dont mean for you to call me a douchebag either. LOL

[blu_fuz]

Yes with the same 18" SQ oven..... The big oven won't be wired up until my 3L is done in my car because the car is parked right in front of the gigantic oven door!

Bagged, buddy 'ol pal - Glad to hear from ya. Let me know whatcha got for me and I'll get 'er done.

Any luck on the bigger oven? I have that new ST200 RSB I'd like done before I install it.

I also saw that you were doing UIMs. What's the deal on those? Do they need to be blasted before they come to you? Have you done a stock non-svt version that is rough, if so how did it come out? I have an Ex-Honed I had thoughts of polishing but sending it to you would be much less time consuming.

[blu_fuz]

Can't use the big oven yet, my 3L build and car is in the way. See the big silver box behind the car:
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/blu_fuz/1995%20Contour%20SE%203L%20Build/newpics111.jpg

Yes, I am doing UIMs and they have to be blasted before giving to me. With the more coarse non-svt UIMs I can do a couple coats of powder to help "fill" in the deeper pits. No gaurantees on smoothness but I can tell you that I can powder coat over JB weld so if you send a non-svt UIM with JB weld in the deep pits and sanded smooth, you will get a better finish :)

[CincyZetec]

did u get a chance to get me a scrap piece coated the green?

[blu_fuz]

My goal for the car running and out of the way is by the end of September. It looks like it will be done before that, so hold tight. Then I will wire the big oven and hopefully get to do your stuff as well as many other people's requests :).

[blu_fuz]

did u get a chance to get me a scrap piece coated the green?

DOH!
Forgot - Wednesday I will for ya! sorry. I am writing it down right now.

[blustreak]

I'm digging the chrome, gunmetal or gray colors even though the car is Black, but I don't want to do the UIM Black because then it'll just look like an SVT.

I'll let you know as soon as I'm ready for that part and I'm sure I'll have a few more for you as well. It's too bad your so far away. I'd like to get a set of my rims done but the need to ship them pretty much negates the idea of having you do them.

[CincyZetec]

the chrome looks pretty damn nice. i've got it on a 4 cyl vakve cover and it's nice. also, i got that green sample last night, i was out of town til then so not sure when it came, but i'll check it and get back to u soon as to getting some more stuff coated.

[blu_fuz]

Sorry it took so long for the sample. I usually refer back to "you have funds" e-mails to remember what I have to do and send out :)

Let me know how the color match is!

that arctic cat green is pretty damn close to what i've got. :) it's a little brighter than mine but close enough, as long as i don't put a painted and coated part right next to each other. i'm probly going to be sending u some calipers and maybe rotors to coat within the next week or so. got any kind of quantity discount for 2 calipers and 2 rotor hats?
