Customer brings me a grille from a 1965 Ford P/U and wants to get a two color coating. The whole grill done in a silver/chrome and the original black trim around the headlights. It will need a clear coat also, any ideas what to charge for this jewel? I have to come up with a Hudini way of hanging this thing too, it measures 6'2" and my oven is 6'. Any help/ideas as always much appreciated.

Re: Price Check in the Ford Isle
Not sure what condition yours is in but I coated one a while back. It had a light coat of old paint on it that blasted easily with very little rust.
The grill in a single stage color $100 with clear $150. $20 Each on the trim rings.
All these I have ever seen are stamped steel or aluminum so outgassing should not be a real issue.
I have a 7' oven and coat 8' stuff in it all the time you just need to hang it diagonally top to bottom and it should fit.

Re: Price Check in the Ford Isle
Unless it is custom, it is not stainless, its alum. I have a 65, and that is a very late 65 grill if it is one, these were put on 66 ford f-100's.
Mine is steel, and heavy, but I am positive that unless this is aftermarket it is not stainless.
