ecoater,

just a few thoughts regarding your plan:
1. How would you advertise and spread the word about the benefits of Ecoating?
2. Not many hot rod / restoration guys understand the process so spending the $$ might be a tough sell
3. Transportation to/from Flint could be a problem for large parts
4. Working with the public sucks. Our local powder coater gets parts that are grease caked, rusty, etc. Then, the customer gets mad when he charges them a prep charge.

Not to say that it wont work but it will be a challenge. Why not also contact manufacturers like Brookville, etc to see if you can get their business....new, clean bodies and they dont whine and bitch about the job.

Jet Hot does a good thermal coating busness but they are handling smaller parts that fit the UPS size criteria.
