IDEAL COATINGS

[Rat Rod]

I had Jacob at Ideal Coatings powder coat a couple of Mongoose Motomag frame/fork combos for me and two sets of handlebars.

I picked them up today, and as always, I was super pleased with the results. He does good work at a fair price with quick turnaround times.


Here's how the parts looked before I dropped them off...

And a few shots of how they look now. He did the nickel plated frame in candy blue and he did the blue frame in orange.

I got busy this evening while the kiddos played in the yard and threw this one together...

Jacob is a site supporter and he is able to ship parts back to you if you ship them to him and pay the shipping costs.

If you need any powder coating work done, shoot him an email or call him to get a quote.

That is nice work! Too bad it'd cost me an arm and 3 legs to ship my 3 wheel tandem there and back.

those wheels bring back some good memories. i had a mongoose bluemax when i was a kid. rode that thing everywhere.

I could use another set of wheels, but not sure I can afford it.

oh what a sad and shameful way to get free powder coating :lol: I gotta start my own web site. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ha Ha...yeah, with a single church income and three kids, you've got to get creative. :wink:

 

[Henry morgan]

I already called for a price quote

 

[Rat Rod]

Jacob does good work.

In the past I have had frame and fork sets done for around $90.

That includes sandblasting and candy colors too.

On the blue above, he first does a chrome powder finish and then does a translucent blue over it.

A few better shots of the first goose in progress...

pretty sweet deal .. then I got talked out of doing the bike ... a voice or reason stepped in. :roll:

[Rat Rod]

So I managed to scrounge enough parts from the parts bin to put the blue 81 Motomag together this weekend.

I had a near mint set of Schwinn Scrambler wheels with Bendix 76 rear coaster and a Schwinn high flange hub up front.

Sugino snowflake chainring, Ashtabula crank, Messinger seat, Ashtabula stem, Motomag bars and Hunt Wilde grips.

Not overly crazy with the newer Kenda Comp II's, but I had a set on hand so what the hey.

A shot of the blue and orange bikes together...

What I started with last week...

A little group shot action of the 20" bikes I own...
