LOL... I always give out random decimal pricing for this kind of job, $5.25 for example haha. Since that's what I'm always quoted from other misc. shops around town for just about anything.
I think blasting would be better. How are those going to be bent? I'd ask questions of your powder supplier in regards to the powder you're going to use i.e impact resistance, flexibility and pencil hardness.
I'm sure they will be bent kinda crudely...
I'm planning on using my usual Tiger Millennium Black - polyester urethane.
My question would be why can't they be bent before coating? That would be preferable I would think? Is there a reason why they can't be?
It would save any chance of cracking or flaking.
That would be ideal. I assumed there was reason why it was being done afterwards, I just re-read the topic and I guess Jay never did say.
The guy making them has been shipping them to the customer unbent, that way it fits in a shipping envelope instead of a box. These are low-cost brackets that are used when removing the rear fender and plate mount on a sportbike.
He would most likely drop-ship them to me from the mfr (flat) and I'd ship them back to him coated. It would be up to him if he wanted to sell them coated and bent, but it's possible he would just let the customer do it.
I would think it should hold up to a 45 degree bend without a problem, but I told him we'd have to test before doing them all.
