I use a powder coater in Hartlepool, £100 for a full chassis and they have all the degreasing and cleaning tanks to. Was fun watching them fit a chassis through them though.

Chassis turned out really well but you must make sure you have completely finished on the chassis. The powder coating gets inside all the rails and coats all the unseen bits too. If worst happens and you need to re weld you can always touch it up with hammerite and you can hardly tell.

If you add up all the cost of your primer, hammerite, brushes, thinners it ain't cheap.

Just my thought......AndyH
