Powdercoating my bracket....

[Stinky_Hooker]

Hey guys I found a very reputable machine shop that will powdercoat my stainless bracket with swim platform for 150.00. I thought that was a pretyy good price! Any color I want too!! Whatcha think? 8)

That's a good price. I don't think you'll get it done much cheaper unless you have access to a very large oven. ;)

That sounds pretty cheap :)

Sounds like a good deal to me Stink. Go for it.

Definately sounds like a good deal. I would just make sure it's OK to powdercoat the bracket. Powdercoating requires baking at 400 degrees and can weaken some parts. I doubt it will with the bracket but I'd double check anyway.

edit: just checked Stainless' website...says brackets are powdercoated. Is yours not??? Or it just needs refinishing?

Tin, mine as some leftover paint (of some kind) on it and barnacles as well. needs blasting and powdercoating bad.

yeah you can buy an unpainted or powder coated bracket. Usually they were sent that way to factory boat builders then they paint to match their boats.

Mine is powder coated from the factory. Wares like iron!!

Go for it!

Yeah MJ, he told me that a good powdercoat will not crack or flake even if the steel is hit to the point that it bends. :o
