Title: Blasting/ Powdercoating
Post by: nivag on March 15, 2004, 10:05:37 PM

Anyone know any good places to get a pan blasted and powdercoated? Also, any ideas of how much it costs?

Thanx, Gavin

I went to Canadian Auto Restorations in south Langley. Mike is the guy in charge there, he has a do it yourself blaster for $45 an hour. The pan I did turned out real nice with the glass beading, but it took me 3 hours. then I took it to Russ from these forums and he did a kickass job! semi-gloss black. This is now the only way I will do a pan-off restoration, there is somethin kinda sexy 'bout a freshly powdercoated pan.....

hey matt, i concur. went to CAR on sat and did the pan that i bought off shane last wkend and i turned out perfectly, in three hours. 150 bucks to remove 40 years of crap is a petty good deal in my books. thanks again for the killer deal on the pan shane, no surprises, and its a late 65 with ball joint front end, which i just happened to have a 4\" raised beam for. thats karma
