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!
We have been powder coating for the past few years: it takes around 2-5 days, around week 5 or 6, we do it all in one bundle, and we send our frame welded together and plus all our other smaller parts that we bolt on
