Precision Powder-coat, turn around could be two to three days depending on how busy they are but it's worth it. Cost me only $245.00 for mine.

Advanced Custom Coatings in Hampton. (757) 726-COAT.

They have done a few sets of wheels for me, great work, awesome turn around time, great prices.

They are about to do another set for me, too.

EG2SI - Those dark spots would get to me if I paid for the work. 245 isn't a bad deal though, just looks like they rushed putting the powder on.

I got tired of paying for coating. I picked up the stuff to do it in the garage and it costs 8 bucks to do 3-4 valve covers...100 bucks for someone else to do it. Of course I haven't used it in 5 years, until this morning.


A valve cover I did today, mainly just to see how the off white would turn out.

I dropped off two pieces of intake piping at American Stripping Co. in Norfolk last week, should have the piping back either today or tomorrow. I was quoted $125 for the two pieces of pipe, but they said the majority of the cost was in having to remove the flaking chrome finish off (said chrome is a bitch to remove). The price seemed a bit high, so I'll see how things turn out. Here's their website, lots of good looking work on there:

I've had wheels powder coated at Precision, they do great work as well. They did a set of four 18" Racing Harts for me for $50/ea, a set of four calipers for $25/ea, and some exhaust coating for around $50 or so. I think I'll have them do any work I might have in the future, almost wish I'd just taken the intake piping there from the start.

Got my intake piping back from ASCO in Norfolk. It's good work, not great, probably wouldn't go back.

Precision did a much better job, a smoother finish. They probably would have done it for less than $135 too. Ah well, don't know 'til you try.
