Hi all, I was curious if anyone knew where one could get powder-coating done for some metal parts without it being incredibly expensive? Most services I find are for large applications such as automotive parts. It would be even better if there was a user who had access/ability to powder-coat parts that I could contact. I'm sure with all the amazing case modders around here there has to be some users who know to powder-coat or at least have favorite services they like to use.

Thanks you in advance for any leads you can supply!

Perhaps I should have supplied that information, probably a PCI slot cover and quite possibly the stainless steel back of my iPod (I still need to remove the chrome plating).

well sume artisans on over clock do some powder coating i see if i can find one of you that is reasonable I'm gonna guess 15 dollars for everything
and if you want to do the pci slots just do spray painting
and if you wanted to have your iPod a different color why don't you just buy a plastic case and paint it yourself and clear coat the heck out of it

cant give any specific leads, but what Ive heard people do is call places that do it, and ask them if you can get some small things powdercoated when they are doing a large batch (for someone else). If you are doing a normal color (aka black) it shouldnt be a problem, it is not much extra work for them that way. Ive heard of people getting whole cases done for 20 bucks like this All places might not do this, but im sure you will find someone who will if you call multiple places

Where can I get powder-coating done for a handful of small parts?

Bought one of these a year ago for the shipping desk's computer back when I discovered the love and awesomeness of mech kybds and went on a buying spree for my business. OK, so we average about 10...

These popped up on my radar on Amazon for the stupid low price and I got two for work. One was definitely for the shipping station's computer. Other one? Well 1st was so cheap!! I might go find...

Bought the 1st one un-lit to see what I thought of Mech Keyboards after seeing all the nerds rave about them here in OCN. Wow! OK I get it now. You do gain an accuracy because the mind knows when...

Also, the cooling block was pretty flat. I'm a machinist on occasion and "pretty flat" isn't easy. I wet sand CPUs and coolers on glass; this cooler took 1/4 of the time the i7-2600k required to...

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...
