Re: Powder Coating

We have a full, welded frame that will be ready for powder coat Sunday night.

The place we are sending it wants it Monday / Tuesday so we will loose two work nights (6 hours). We are trying to decide if it's worth it vs the time we will miss. (We do have other things that we can do, so it's not like we will be standing around, but there will be a productivity hit)

Teams that powder coat, some questions for you:
  • How long does it take to get your parts back?
  • When in the season (what week) do your parts go out?
  • Do you do one batch of parts or many?
  • Do any of you coat an assembled welded frame?

Thanks very much!
