Powder coating in phoenix???

I would like to get my frame powder coated but I can't seem to find any places that seem decent to me, they all seem to be a bit shady, anyone in the phoenix,az area know of any places?

Glendale Powder Coating
4020 N.Grand Ave.
602-246-0975

I've done several bike chassis and alot of furniture with them and been happy. usually a few days turn around time. when you pull up you will see all the chopper, sand rail, ect frames waiting their turn.

the only problem with powdercoating is it doesnt lend itself well to modifications,if its gonna be a dragbike youre always gonna be adding/removing differant things till you get your combination figured out.id suggest painting it for now till you get everything figured out.;)

What should I use then, spray paint? I just want it orange, lol, but thought powder coating would last longer, and be a ton stronger

depends on your skill level,i just hate to see ya having to change it once you powdercoat it.we are going to get my 1385 completely done with a smaller motor and drive it around a few times before blowing it back apart for painting and the mother of all motors!:evil: :P
