Tex06 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Looking to get a front bumper (DBO's Manta DIY bumper) powdercoated.....jeez was I floored at the cost. $300 to get it done in white. Last time a had anything coated was 2019-2020-ish and was about $150 for a similar piece. Have prices gone up that much in 4 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Ehhh kinda. I’ve been doing black so those have gone up a little. Other colors, well I’d imagine they would cost more regardless. I mean unless you’re powder coating lawn chairs and what not, I can’t see white being popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex06 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Black was about the same price ($275). I'm gonna call Columbia Coatings and see what a pound of their white runs..... I've got the stuff to do it just didn't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxyjeep Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Materials, labor, and other costs have gone up dramatically since Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex06 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 Ended up $200 cash for coating with me supplying the powder. I bought some clearance white from Columbia for $3/lb (took 3lbs.... just barely enough). So factor in cost for shipping ($15), I made out for about $225 to get it coated, plus I've got extra powder for the rear bumper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
