| Recommendations for a low temperature powdercoater
Can you guys recommend a place in the GVA that does low temperature powder coating (that ensures 250F or lower curing step) for some forged wheels?

Surf tech did everything, from stripping the wheels to powder coating them.
They do anodizing as well  Posted via RS Mobile | |
