  • Pricing some bike parts...

    Got a customer who wants the parts in the pictures blasted and powder coated gloss black (bumper black). Biggest part is 2x2 feet.

    Any ideas?

    $100 - $125 is my initial thought.

      I should have mentioned that's what I had in mind, but the guy said he called around and most shops quoted him "an outrageous price of 100+"

      The way I see it is $50 for the big part (fairings?) and $50 for the other 2 things.

      I think the absolute cheapest I'm willing to go would be $85 for everything and he brings them to me ready for some light blasting and coating.

        No way I would do that for less than 100.00. Guy is crazy if you ask me. I might give him a break if he brought it to me new or already cleaned/blasted but that would be it.

          I just shot him an email stating exactly that! LOL.

          We do not have a minimum, but $100 would be very close to the rate for
          all these parts.

          If you're able to remove all the surface rust and I can get them from
          you rust free with just needing some light media blasting then the price
          would be closer to $85.

            He must be hanging out on the cycle forums where it's commonly stated:
            "Powder coating is cheap! - My brother's-friend's-cousin's-roomate will powder coat anything of $10 bucks and a case of Bud..."

              I hear ya man. Just thinking of how much time would go into his parts, then electricity, equipment, blasting media, powder, etc... even at 100 bucks I would still break even. I understand the guy is on a budget, but I can't afford to lose money on jobs like this, especially now.

                I was gonna say 150.

                Its ok to say no thanks. Tell him You'll have that much into it, and that a rattle can might be more suitable for his budget.

                  Well I was getting email replies from him within minutes when we first started talking, now that I've mentioned that pricing would be close to $100 anyway I have not heard back. So maybe it worked itself out :P

                    I would price that at no less than $150 for all. I'm in this to make a living so I have to make sure I cover all my costs and if there was one hiccup I would lose at that price. Powder Coating is cheap have them go to an automotive paint shop and price painting that stuff.
