:help I am doing a Big bake upgrade for my 95 530 and now that i have these big brakes I want to make them pretty and hopefully last longer
Sooo I am looking for someone in the Metro Atl
(preferably OTP west wide) that does powder coating.
If anyone on here knows of anyone that does please give me a shout
I need a total of 4 calipers and carriers done and possible the faces of my rotors as well if that can be done?

The search button here works wonders. :rolleyes

Just a few results from searching "powder coating" within the GA forum.

Thanks for the sage advice Tim:D hehe I joke ...oh and btw you need to have another bbq so I can give you back your damn mug that you threatened my life over
Actually I did do a quick search but the only ones I saw were kerns which he doesnt do it anymore and the one waaaaay out in lilburn which I dont consider to be the metro Atl area since I live and play near douglasville.
I called wheel wizard and they quoted me 100$ for two calipers ...that seems a bit high?? or is that normal

I knew you'd take the sarcasm well. Really Kerns and Miller are the 2 best in the area for powder coating. It would be worth the drive I think if they can beat WW's prices. Otherwise you have to balance out the high cost of gas + your time for travel + the cost of the powder coating. $100 for 2 calipers is about middle to high middle of the road for cost though.

I was going to have another cookout this weekend but things have come up and it's not feasible. Look for a post next month about the cookout.

I'll still be in town. I'll give you a call when I get back in town to drop off your beer.

I can deal with that as long as it's good stuff, not some radiator swill. Will he sell in anything less than gallon quantities?

It's pretty good. He won't sell less than a gallon though. I'll try finding someone who wants to split some of it though.

Cool, I have no problem taking a full gallon. I was just wondering if he sold it in smaller batches.

Ok I'll see what he can get. Oh and tried convincing my dad on the dogs and he said hell no. I even tried the what if I just bring it home. His response was "I would say cute puppy, now bring him back." So I guess I'm gonna have to wait atleast another year.

Cool!

I can understand your parents perspective though. While you are away at school, they're the ones who would have to take care of the dog and train it too.

Ummm yeah John, Miller's has been well represented already. That's why we've digressed onto beer and moonshine and cookout discussion ITT.

No I'd bring it here. My dad just thinks it would be too much for me right now. I have a friend that might want one though. If you send me pictures and a price I can let you know if he is interested.

I'll update my picture thread on here sometime this week. The price is $500 to my BF.c brethren and their friends. I have 1 female black and tan GSD left and the rest are all black.
