Just picked up two sample pieces (shown in Photo). The shop does a lot of custome exhaust work. The idea is to put these two pieces on display and for the shop to offer it as a service.
They are new chromed turn downs. Not much to be done in the way of cleaning. Probably just flush with acetone and coat.
The shop has suggested to do one in white and the other in black.
Now the questions;
How much damage will welding the piece do?
What would be your best reccomendation as far as powder?
Would you add a clear over it?
Anything to look out for as far as coating and curing?
And most of all what would you charge to be tacked on to the price for the coating?
Thanks, and of course all of this is need yesterday.

). Clear if you want extra durability. Primer basecoat wouldn't be a bad idea either to prevent corrosion. On new pipes like that, you should have no problem giving them a light scuffing with scotchbrite, clean with prep solvent, and coat. (Candies would look sweet over the chrome, but don't scuff first - scratches will show). I'd probably charge about $15 each for a single coat. An additional 50% for adding clear or doing a 2-stage basecoat/topcoat color. Anyone else?
