Powder Coating/All Good Things must come to an end

EDIT:

I want to thank everyone for their interest and for all the love you guys and girls have showed me over the past 2 years. I have met Many cool people from all walks of life and want to say thank you for letting me work on your car even if it was just powder coating.

I hope everyone enjoys the work I have done, and I hope the mods can leave this thread around because it does have TONS of great info on powder coating

It was an AMAZING experience and I would do it all over again.

The reason why I am stopping is because I will be moving out of state in the near future due to a career change.

I hopefully will have my own shop one day and I will not forget about scionlife.com when I do get it opened up

Atomic Coating is now Closed Aug 2009- Sept 2011

Im really interested in doing some Valve Covers. I have been doing lots of powder coating on motorcycle pegs/levers/bolts with great results. Ill post some before/after pics when I Get home.

Since im just starting out I only have basic colors. Mirror Black(Super high gloss), Flat Black, Chrome, Sparkle Sliver, White, Red, Yellow, Candy Blue and Candy Pink. Although I can get pretty much any color you want.

I dont claim to be a professional but my prices will relflect that lol. Im sure my price will be the lowest you find, and I havent had one complaint from any people on the work I have done. I wouldnt charge someone for anything I wouldnt want.

Please No rims just yet, I cant fit them in my blasting cabinet... Anyone want to do some business?

If I were you, I'd look into getting a new OEM valve cover to have available for people. That way you can do a core charge type of thing. They're about $160 or so (hit up TRDSparks)... and my guess is people would want that back in exchange for their cover. That means not being without a cover for them!

That's what I did when I got mine coated. Had no trouble selling my original one after the new one was installed.

valve covers, brakes, strut bars, wheels, hell, even lug nuts are all pretty easy things to do. i'm guessing a a good bit of SM would want some of theirs to be painted.

can you powdercoat a stainless steel muffler? will the powdercoat stay on the muffler after its put back on the car despite the heat and stainless steel material? I have an HKS hi-power axle-back, so i dont know if it would fit in your oven. i want to powdercoat it flat black.

pic I found online.

I want it to look like this. painting is not a good option since paint doesnt stick to stainless steel very well.

What color do you have in mind? are you going to remove them or do you need me to do it?

I know there is some work involved in taking the caliper apart
