good powdercoaters?

[bjammin]

I have a line on a used Bullit frame with a newish 7in. rear that is a different color. I need a powder coater in the SD/OC area that someone from this family has used before.

Got my 5 Spot done at Olympic. $135 for three coats - charcoal, candy blue, clear coat. People there were easy to deal with too. I think Ken (kennton) also knows a good powder coater. Maybe he can chime in.

Perfect. The site was just what I wanted. What was the turn around time?

It took a week for my SS which is not pictured, but 2 wks for the other 2 bikes. They don't bead blast it, rather have it chemically removed. Mine are not clear coated and the cost was $107.00, I went to Qlympic first, but they didn't carry "desert sand"

For Olympic. Not sure if they still do but Intense and Turner had their frames p-coated at Olympic.

My riding crew and I have had maybe 10 frames p-coated at Olympic over the years. Not one problem and finished when promised.

My in-laws had some of their Patio furniture redone at Olympic

I remember when I bought my '03 Foes FXR it had an Olympic sticker on it, not sure if Foes still uses them or not. I think they did a great job on George's Spot.

I totally dig D's wasabi green Nomad.

Wasabi green, huh... I think back in the 70s we had a refrigerator that color. I think we called it something else, though.

Another vote for Olympdic.

I had a Chevy truck frame, axle housing, and all the suspension done there a while back. Including stripping, it was like $450. They used to do all the frames (made in the US) for GT, Powerlite, Dyno, Robinson, as well as many other old-school BMX bikes).

There's also a place in El Cajon that Velo Culture in La Jolla uses for thier fixies. I can get the name if you want.

Another vote for Olympic. I just had my daughters bike done an it came out amazing.

It cost $126, but it was color and clear. Plus, it was worth the quality of work. People were cool to work and BS with, which is always a plus in my book. When I walked up to the door, they had a huge box full of front triangles for some MB manufacturer...

I had went to Hi-Tech before stopping here and got a look like I was interrupting them, or simply wasn't wanted. Once I started talking with them things were good, but I didn't exactly feel welcome at first.

I went to Olympic primarily because Hi-Tech didn't have the color I wanted.

Oh yeah, it took about 6 days to get it done.

Thanks Allison, I still dig the color after two years. It's definetly a love it or hate it type color. It's RAL#6013 on the standard powdercoat color chart. And yea, Olympic does excellent work.

My wifes 5Spot got the Olympic treatment as well...

They know what's up. Good price, fast turnaround, high quality. Nuff said.

[SSinGA]

Olympic does still do all the Turner frames

My wife's baby blue XCE was done by olympic as was my Gold dust orange

I know a powder-coater that can print graphics. This two golf cars are 100% powder-coated.

I've seen good jobs done at Olympic, but I use Temecula Valley Powdercoat myself. They do a lot of bicycle frames & do a very good job. Either way you'll get a good job, just wanted to put TVPC out there too. Talk to Debbie. 951.699.8685

Olympic is by far the favorite among this group. I went there first, but surprisingly, they didn't have the color I wanted, "camel" was close but no cigar. I called around and found Hightech and they had the "desert sand" I was looking for.
