I've never had anything powdercoated before but I'm after a few bits doing, is it a drop it off an wait job or leave with them a few days (in general)??

Looks good by the way

Thanks,

Normally it's a drop off & leave for about a week!

I bought my own powder coating kit and build my own oven using a £25 gas bbq and some sheet metal total cost £175 including the power coating kit much cheaper than paying someone to do it for you and make some money back and powder coat mates stuff to.

i have seen the home kits, is it easy to get a good finish?

I have a electrostatic magic kit and it is easy to get a good finish. Takes a bit of experimentation. I put up a post about it. My car is not on the road so I don't really know about durability
