Bumper Finishing Recomendations

[bobalama]

Hi Folks,

Newer member here and I'm looking for recommendations for reputible finishers in MA to either apply LineX or Powder Coat to a set of Crawler Conceptz bumpers. They come unfinished and I've been quoted 350.00 - 400.00 each for LineX and 250.00 each for Powder Coat. These are a bit out of range for my budget and I was hoping someone here knew of someone in MA that would offer a better deal.

Thanks!!

Bob

I used this guy a couple of times and can recommend him. He does this at his home in his spare time and is very fair in his pricing. He's in Franklin MA and is very good.

Here is a link with others that have used him with samples of his work:

Many thanks! Just called him and left a message. The pics of the work look great.

Thanks again

Central Mass Powder Coating in Clinton does a great job as well. I had a tire carrier that had seen better days. They gave it a nice refresh and have great customer service. A little pricey but worth it.

There are a lot of DIY kits out there. Either using bed liner or rust proofing materials. I prefer "Duplicolor" Spray under coat. The white labeled can . It pretty durable and cheap to recover if need be. FjR68

I used self-etching primer and satin black engine enamel on my EVO rear fascia, and plan the same on the EVO pro series front bumper on its way in. I'm doing it that way so I can touch it up when needed (scratches etc). I could powder coat them, but if scratched I'm screwed from the repair, I could LineX them, but the same scratch fixing cost applies (though less likely to be scratched with LineX).

For costs, I may be able to get a good price on LineX, a Fraternity brother of mine runs a LineX business.
