Are they still open? there was an auction over there a few weeks ago. Anyways the frames we got back looked good enough for race cars but I'm guessing they'd spend more time doing wheels.No they even suck on race cars. I used to work there, the powder coater had at least one rework a day, and I could always find light spots on everything. I was just looking at my friends race car who he had them do it, and it was horrible. They redid a set of explorer wheels 4 times once.

Elite for sure. Dan does fucking AWESOME work.

Days I can do, weeks not so much. Oh, and thanks for the suggestions.

Elite sucks so bad I should have filed a lawsuit. (this was 2 years ago and they may have improved)Midwest (carl) for EZ colors, Neals for the rest.
Neals after I has the junk Elite did sandblasted off.
Are you sure we are talking about the same place/person. This is one guy (Dan)... He has done MANY (50+ parts) for the shop, and besides being a shade off in color once or twice, his quality has been better than 90% of the big name brand companies powdercoating. If this is the same guy, was he unwilling to help resolve the situation?

Elite is the guy out in West Fargo. I have heard good things about him. My apologies to Elite Powdercoaters. Above post corrected.

I know something happened earlier today. But was told it wasnt anything major. Oh and I kinda take back what I said, Neil is a good guy, his powdercoater sucks. But If you go to them just look it over real good and if you find any flaws Neil will make sure it gets fixed.

Depending on what you want done I can help ya out. I've got a regular kitchen size oven, but I've done a handful of smaller parts with no problems. I've got about 5 diff blacks, a bright red, candy blue, chrome, gold, high temp black, high temp silver and a high gloss clear. The way I do my pricing is usually call up another powdercoating place and charge about half of what they quote. Turn around time is about a week.

Thanks for the help guys. The guy in town here finally got back to me on prices. But...I think I changed my wheel choice.
