PWL216 905 #1 Posted March 25 Hi all! Has anyone had a set of tins, frame, parts professionally painted or powder coated recently and wouldn’t mind sharing the approximate cost? Also, how much of the body work do they do, if any? I’m thinking about having a 314 done, maybe…price is key Thx! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 13,622 #2 Posted March 25 (edited) You'll have to remove the parts you want painted and just ask around. On a previous resto- I painted everything but the hood, fenders, and belt guard and asked a local shop to shoot those for me. I also supplied the paint. But I know the guy in this case. Very few shops will want such a small job. You might find someone if you ask around. Edited March 25 by kpinnc 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,933 #3 Posted March 25 Around here, the cost for powder coating has soared in recent years. The curing chambers usually are electrically heated - be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars for that.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 70,494 #4 Posted March 25 How about a local Tech School? On the powder coating, there's a couple here in Southern Maine. I have no notions of pricing but could ask. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

76c12091520h 3,751 #9 Posted March 26 (edited) My 2 cents as a body shop manager: IF ( IF? ) we were willing to do it , and somebody we didn't know walked in off the street and asked us to paint a complete tractor ( tins, frame , wheels , etc ) minus the engine and rear axle , and assuming these parts are already prepped and ready to spray , you would be looking at around $1000 give or take. No body work , no post paint buffing , just the materials and labor to spray it. Edited March 26 by 76c12091520h 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
