Ontario Powdercoat?

[Brian D]

I just picked up a nice Attack From Mars and one of the first things I would like to do is powdercoat the legs and armour. I am in Peterborough, any recommendations on places in Ontario to do this? Thanks

I have used www.rice-rocket.com to do my Elvis and Metallica. Turned out great. Will post some pictures. Colin 905-230-6644. Located by the Toronto airport. I don't normally bother with the back hinges, don't see the point.

Here they are.

Thanks! I’m open to suggestions on colour, I was just thinking basic black but I have been accused of being boring…

These guys are in London, so a bit of a trek for you, however they do very good work.

They charge around $60 CAD for a set of legs in standard colors

What sort of pre-work is needed if your existing metal is not perfect?

That's a good question and I think might be different from shop to shop. The guys I posted about in London sandblast them before powder coat.

Nothing that I have seen. I usually just take off the levellers at the bottom of the legs and any plastic on the back of the lockdown bar. Otherwise, they blast it back to metal anyway.
