Powder coating

A while back I remember seeing a powder coating service advertised here on Amart. It was a large featured ad and showed many square samples of colors. Does anyone know the name of this company? I can't seem to find it.

Is a good auto body white paint job sufficient for a tube and dewshield or should the tube ideally be powder coated? Is there generally a great difference in price? Anyone know of a some good services in the eastern PA, southern NJ, MD, DE area? I'd like local for easy transport.

Thanks,
Bruce

Powder coatings are very durable, but they have limitations. The objects have to be able to withstand high temperatures (> 300F) and the coating is somewhat thick. Color selection is limited.

IMO a high-quality, two-part epoxy paint can be almost as durable as powder coat finishes, and it's a lot easier to apply. Preparation and use of a good primer system are key to a long-lasting finish.

I have been rehabbing a 9.25" Mak-Cass and the tube/ dew shield was really chipped up. I sent them to Joe Castoro from Binoscope and had them powdercoated. There were many, many colors to choose from. I had it coated pearl white with a silver flake overcoat. Now it looks awesome! I had to scale the picture down quite a bit to get it to post. It isn't a cheap process and shipping gets pricey on larger items, but it was worth it, IMO.
