His album just popped up on the home page. Weird how that works lol
How much do you think a strut bar would be to paint? Would you recommend getting it painted or powder coated?

It doesn't make a difference, it's not a high wear item too, so you'll be ok with paint

If you need anything, feel free to text me (310)eight nine three-4207

Does the texture look different between paint and PC? Say you and I each painted our bars, one with paint and the other got it PC, would you be able to tell the difference between the two? Would there be a price difference between the two? Sorry for all the questions, I just like fully understanding things
Thanks brotha I'll put your number in my phone right now. Whats your name so I can save it. PM me if you don't want to give it out.

Lol, my name and number is PLASTERED on this forum

Honestly, you can't tell if something is PC'd vs painted

Price difference? Maybe? It's 95% the prep work you pay for. And powdercoating is baked on

Have at it, I've noticed that painters usually screw customers over more than powdercoaters... Now, wheel painters vs powdercoaters charge about the same
Just something I've noticed, it's weird

Would a normal body shop be able to knock out a PC job, or would i need to find a specific spot to get this done if that were to be the route I chose. I may be wrong, but I cant really see this being anymore than a $100 job.
