    Question Looking for powder coating shop

    I have an Automag RT Pro that I would love to get powder coated. The problem is trying to find some place that will do it. I already know that Sin Customs does work but after reading Army's post regarding the work done on his marker I'm not going to let Sin touch mine. I also know that RedRider does work. However, he's limited to solid colors and just starting to experiment with fades. RedRider does nice work but I'm looking for a splash or splatter similar to some of the anno jobs you see on other markers. Does anybody know of someone who does this type of work with powder coating? I live on the east coast but will ship anywhere I can get a quality job. Any help would be appreciated.

    It was'nt Webby's mag, it was Army's.
    He got it back after a loooooong time and it looked like crap. It seems SIN has forgotton the meaning of customer service.

    Well I'm not a BIG company. I do, do powder Coating. Powder coat can not be done in a splash form do to it powder. Although I have seen airbrushing doen with a clear coat of it and they call it Powder Coating. ( I don't call that Powder coating in my book ) I can do standard colors and translucent color and aslo prism colors as well as fades.. If you e-mail me I can send some pic of gun I have done..

    SiN does powdercoating by painting it and then applying a clear powdercoat on top.

    redrider is awsome. i sent my gun to him and had it back in a week. 15$ too.

    Man my friend sent his Minimag body to SiN customs and he was on the phone...

    Friend: So it will be like 40 dollars right?

    SiN: Nope, send it over, I will do it for 10

    Friend: Awesome, I'll send it right away.

    Anyways, he got it back in a couple days, the whole thing only took like a week. Now it looks awesome. Just to let you know.

    Unhappy

    The reason I've decided not to use Sin Customs is through my own personal experience and what I've read on this forum. I've looked at the work that Sin has done at his old web site and it does look good. However, when the owner doesn't reply to email messages, references a web site that is never up and a moderator of this forum has a bad experience it makes one think. I don't mind taking some risk now and then but my gut tells me not to pursue work with Sin. I'm not telling people to not use Sin, do your own homework and make your own decision. I've just decided against it.
