Got a call Wednesday from a local coater. He runs a business that has two Conveyor systems and a 6x6x7 walk in oven. Wanted to know if we could get together and discuss some idea's he had. That was after he found out that I don't have a Conveyor setup. He gets calls all the time for small stuff, like motorcycle frames, car parts wheels and the like. But he is not setup to do any of this as he is mostly doing industrial stuff by the hundreds. He has some dust issues and just don't have the time to do any of it.
So his offer was to send all of these to me as well as hook me up with a local bike shop (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki etc.) Also gets calls from the local Harley Shop.
What he wants from me is, any time I get calls for large items or from companies that need bulk work to send them his way. Hey, no problem. Also offered to let me use his stripper tanks for those days when nothing goes the way it is supposed too. Only three miles from me. 
This could be a golden opportunity for me and my son. We shall see. Won't get real excited yet. Need to wait and see if it will start bringing us anything. Which would mean, expanding my shop to the full 30x40 instead of half of it. I can do that. I was thinking along those lines anyway.

Good luck with everything and post pictures as soon as the parts start coming in.
I just have to get my new cards done and get some to him. He will take them to the bike shop for me and give them to anyone that comes in looking for a custom coater to do their stuff. I in return will send any Industrial work toward him. Guess I need to get my shop upgrades done and think about expanding into the whole building.
