Rubicrawl's build thread

Spraying tubing is very wasteful. There is a lot of material being used that never makes it onto the actual tubing, which makes it cost more than what you would expect. Sounds a bit pricey though. I have a full rockhard cage sitting in the garage that needs to be taken down for coating. I will post up my cost once it makes it there. I'm thinking $150 tops.

Shit. I just realized you are local. I'm in SFV. My powder coater is in Downey. Let me know if you want the info. You usually need to take The parts there for the most acutate price quote though. He did a my poison spyder front bumper with stinger for 80 I think and the rear rockbrawler for 70. My buddy's poison spyder sliders for like 60. That's why I guessed 150 for my cage with rear section. I'm thinking about doing black chrome with a flat on the dash bar, but will prob just end up will textured black....lol. I'm gonna get him to do a 10lb CO2 tank will the deal too.....lol. Gonna throw that one in at the end...lol


Edit: when someone asks how much you want to pay or think you should pay throw out a ridiculous low number. I would have said $50, then hope for him to come back at like 200-250, then hit back at $150.....lol

How do the welds look? I am looking to get the rockhard cage myself soon, but saw a thread where the welds looked HORRENDOUS.
