I've seen many cases powdercoated and always been curious how much does this cost? Looking for the price of it on a full size tower inside and out.

Thrasher2 recently powder coated his "Spinner" rig and he said it cost him $120, but who knows if that's a standard price...he tends to get hooked up. I've never gotten anything powder coated before, so I couldn't really tell you from personal experience.

Go around your local Paint Shops and ask for a Price Quote.
Bring Photos of what you want to painted and the Sizes of the Items.

Thanks for the replies. 120$ isnt that bad considering if u paint a case inside and out thats quite alot of spray paint and time spent.

any one know about DIY powder coating? like with the cheap gun and kit they have at Harbor Freight Tools?

I was just going to say something about that.. back when I was looking to casemod I wanted to get it done too, but since I've been rebuilding my talons so frequently I just got an oven and started doing it myself. I got a gun from harbor freight and it works fairly simple and is real easy to do. Ive done pullys, alternator housings, fuel rails, valve covers, egr components, plates/sheilds, brackets, engine mounts, pretty much everything in an engine bay all with great results.

I recommend everyone interested to try it because its alot easier then you may think and saves you alot of dough. I container of powder from harbor freight is like 7 dollars and you can get them online cheaper and in alot of cool colors/finishs for cheaper even. One container from harbor freight will cover about the same as 4 cans of spray paint..

I looked into this. The killer is you have to have a large oven to "bake" it. And you can't use your own because the fumes or something stay in it.

I don't know anything about this but I saw it somewhere else. It looks pretty cool though.

Yeah, that's the problem with the DIY method. However, if you had access to a used, crappy oven (that you wouldn't be baking your Pillsbury croissants in), you're good to go.
