: Frame Dipping in / near Massachusetts BlueSS454 Dec 28th, 06, 6:41 PM Do a search on Galvanizing or Galvanizers in your area. They can help you out. planeoldguy Dec 29th, 06, 8:47 AM Try Metal Strip of New England in Worcester. 508-754-2047. Ask for Dan bookmaker19 Dec 30th, 06, 11:21 PM I wouldnt dip it-have it media blaste and paint or powder coated. (powder coated prefered) These places that dip dont have a quality rinse cycle that removes all chemical solvents and can wick and weep as time goes by harming your finish! ask around and you will find horror stories about this. media is clean, cheap and effective with no downside, (in my opinion:beers: ) Norman Rich-L79 Dec 31st, 06, 2:06 AM I wouldnt dip it-have it media blaste and paint or powder coated.

Just say no to dipping. I say this from experience. jfman Dec 31st, 06, 4:07 AM Subscribing to this.... And how much does powdercoating a whole frame run ? bookmaker19 Dec 31st, 06, 8:30 AM I cant itemize that for you, we took a lot of stuff to them for powder coating. My whole bill was a $1,000.00 but that was sway bars, control arms, etc. I would guess that you should be able to have it blasted and coated for a grand. cut a cash deal-cash is always king! Norman BillsCamino Dec 31st, 06, 9:32 AM It cost me $600 to have a '67 Elky frame, crossmember, and all 4 front control arms blasted & powdercoated in chassis black. bookmaker19 Dec 31st, 06, 10:01 AM Thats a good price, I thought I got a good deal at a grand, seems you did even better! Norman:beers: SethT Jan 3rd, 07, 7:35 PM Not sure how far you are from Hartford, but I would HIGHLY recommend Central Conncticut Coatings in East Hartford. They are just off I84. The media stripped, zinc coated, silver vein metalic coated, and clear coated for $1352 with tax. I could not have asked for the frame to come out better. These guys do a ton of frames. Every time I'm there the shop is full of them. Last time they had just finished coating a jet engine dragster frame.
