    anyone in the mass/ri area able to powdercoat a frame?

    i was just curious if there was somebody on here that would be able to powdercoat my z frame. i plan on getting a powdercoating system to do all my small stuff but i know i wont be able to have an oven big enough to do my frame. i dont have much to spend due to the holidays but i do have a bunch of spare z and 200x parts id be willing to part with if somebody could help me out.

    thanks

    jim

    If you cant find someone to barter with......

    I use DiFruscia Industries on Starr Street in Johnston. Its not far from Atwood Ave @ Plainfield Pike. I think I paid around $200 a couple years ago fro a 350X frame. He did an ok job but I had to bring it back to him to re-bake it due to "spider web" looking cracks that developed after the frame subjected to outdoor winter temps. He took care of it and the frame has been fine since. He has also done wheels and other parts for me with no problem. Ask for the owner, Frank.

    DiFruscia Industries, Inc.
    20 Starr Street
    Johnston, RI 02919

    Hope this helps.......Josh

    Josh, DEEPA knows a guy down there too, maybe the same guy?? I wonder why the spider cracking?

    There are guys in NH too.

    Can't wait to see yours as a roller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm awaiting on a brake pedal before I order your bolts, but we can still move forwards anytime you wish.....

    They have acorn nuts for 2$ each, I though that was a bit expensive.

    They probably used a powder clear and it didnt cure long enough I have had this happen to me before , you can rebake it and it melts the clear back in and the cracks go away .
