Powder Coaters....

[RT_Luver]

I know...thier is probably a TON of threads about this...maybe no. who knows. What I'm wondering is, does anyone on the forum know a powder with a good reputation that can do barrels? I'm talkin to junky about doing some parts of my gun. But if I can, I need to find some one that can do barrels. If ya'll know of anyone that can powder coat barrels. tell me. I've heard Red Rider has quit. is this tru?

I don't think RedRider has gone out of business. He has changed his name however. But I know K&PCustoms does a great job bcause he did my entire RT Pro including two barrels. You can contact them at kpcustoms@aol.com. The guys name is Ken Wenlasky. His website is http://www.kpcustoms.net/main.htm

Here's a picture of my barrels that Ken did for me.

wow...thats a GREAT job on those barrels...how much did that cost?

[2000Sabre]

The cost is based on how many parts you have done. Five parts or less it's $25 per part. However, because I used a translucent color, there was a polishing charge of $15 plus the crown point barrel needed to be strip which also is an extra charge.. It wasn't cheap. My who gun cost me $150.00 to have done. Here's a picture of the finished product.

What's the turnaround time with KPcustoms?

[2000Sabre]

AllAmericanMag,

My job took longer than usual due to some hold up with the guy who does his polishing and also because Ken had a family situation arise which kept him from working on my gun. I think the whole thing was about 6-7 weeks overall But Ken was good about letting me know why it was late and when it was going to be finished. I don' think my experience with him is typical turnaround. Best bet is to contact him directly.

Thanks Saber. I'm thinking of getting my Shocker re-coated. Maybe with a nice bead-blast. Recommend any colors?
