Default Powder Coating?

Does anyone know where I should take my tube chassis to get sandblasted and powder coated? I live in Broomfield, so North Denver would be nice.

Thanks.

Hey Dave, might talk to Rodney, he knows a guy. I myself paint all my chassis with flat paint and no primmer. Powder coating lasts a little longer but it still chips. Just my 2 cents.

Kyrlon camo flats is what I always use and is also what we have always used on the 1:1's. It's the best quality and the black never ends up turning grey like most brands. It also blends really well so you can do touchups.

With powder coating it looks great until the first time you beat on it then it's all downhill from there.

I won't ever powder coat another chassis. It looks like $hit after a while and you can't touch it up like spray paint.

POR15 works pretty good and it is also self leveling so touch ups blend well. You can get it in Grey and Black.

Good to know. Thanks guys, I'll stick to paint. I need to touch up this chassis, been having tons of fun beating on it. I've been through two motors...
