Stovens, Man I'm aware of prices in California, I just moved to Alabama from Sunnyvale, CA which is 8 miles North of San Jose. But the qoute referred to "Reduced Cost". And I ask Reduced from what?

I built a dozen or so cars in CA. Everyone of them had some powder coating on it, someplace. I never found the price of powder coating to be all that high, I also just stopped using powder coating not becuase of the cost but becuase of the quality or lack of that.

Powder coating is a good and durable finish, it will take just about anything you can throw at it and just set there and laugh. But in some places on my car's I want looks and appearance over durable, and to my experiance powder Coating fails the looks and appearance each and every time. But your milage may vary!
