I agree....very good pricing at TTP. The major portion of the cost comes from the prep. The wheels need to be blasted.....sanding is not the correct way to go. You need a physical bond between the powder and the metal. Not only that, you also need the electrical charge running through the part to make the powder adhere correctly before baking.

Not sure what process TTP uses but we always use 2 coats on all of our parts...either two coats of color, or one color and one clear powder as extra protection.
